Trip To Florida 2006

Here's Maddi with her first pair of Mickey Ears. They only stayed on for a few minutes, but at least we go one picture to remember them. We were all excited to go to the Magic Kingdom.

Joseph wouldn't go on too many rides that we had hoped he'd enjoy because he is older. He did love the Dumbo and the gentler rides.

Jared had to take the boys on the Tea Cups. We hit every ride in the park at least once. Many (like Buzz Lightyear) we went on many times. The weather was great and the crowds were not overwhelming.

One of our new traditions is to go to Disne for the Mickey's not so Scary Halloween Party. We love getting the kids dressed up. Madison went as a blue fairy, but everyone kept calling her Cinderella so we went with it.

Here is our Jedi waiting to get on the boat that took us over to the Magic Kingdom. Star Wars was big with the childs this year.

I couldn't find a Jenga Fett costume. I glad too, because they all wanted to be Jenga. They settled for a Jedi Knight, Yoda, and Darth Vader. I tried to get a Leia costume for Maddi, but she made a cuter fairy.
Here we are all together in Mickey's House.
Joseph and James played with the pumpkins outside of Minnie's house.

We finally found Mickey and stopped him for a picture.
This was just as our night began. The boys were pumped to get candy and see all the characters. We must have collected 30lbs of candy this year. I'm rounding down on the poundage. We had to get a new bag just to get it home. At least, I don't have to buy any candy new for Halloween.
The Party ended just after Midnight. The boys were out before we left the parking Lot.
Grandpa enjoyed swimming with the boys. They wore him out jumping in and out of the pool. Grandpa was happy to catch every jump.
Grandpa, also, took the time to teach Joseph some swimming strokes. Joseph is excited that he can now tread water.
More Jumps.
It was a great trip. We hit all the Disney parks and the Halloween party. We, also, went out to the Kennedy Space Center to see them launch a Rocket at night. It was a week full of great memories.

Madison's Mama

Can you believe that this child is mine? We may have to take a DNA test to prove it, but she is my little girl from the light brown hair down to those big blue eyes. Don't get me started on the skin color contrast. I'm the one she looks for when she's hungry and the one she crys for when she's sad. I'm Madison's Mama.
