New Camera Fun

Grant surprised me with a new camera for Mother's Day. I've had the same one since 2009 so it was definitely time for an upgrade. To say I'm obsessed is a huge understatement. Of course I had to have an impromptu photo sesh with my wild subject right when it was delivered!

Animal Kingdom

We spent our last day in Disney at Animal Kingdom. William loves all caged animals so I knew this park would be a hit for him!

 The only pic we got of the entire crew.

 We started off with an animal safari. 

 Checking out the crocodiles (Or is that a Rhino?).

 William's favorite animal. He always says "giraffe, long neck."

 This is how William napped each day, reclined in the stroller with a fan blowing on him.

 Dinosaur ride while William napped!

 Payton looking at her autograph book :)

 Meeting Pluto and Goofy

 Greg, Payton and I decided to finish Animal Kingdom with a bang by doing a water rapids ride. Finley and William weren't tall enough for this one so they watched :)

 And we got drenched!

 Patient Payton willing to hold William's hand all the way back to the car. 

 It was an amazing trip and one that we will never forget!!!

Magic Kingdom

Day 2 was spent in the one and only Magic Kingdom! Payton woke up in the middle of the night and put on her Minnie Mouse shirt she's wearing in the pictures below :) I guess she was pretty excited!

 William loved waking up to his cousins and Granny each morning. Granny shared a condo with us and he always ran straight to her room when he got up. 

Me and super-mom. Dana makes being a mom to 3 young kids look like a piece of cake!!! 

 Grant was in mid sentence and William was ready for "MY TURN" (his new phrase) on Dumbo.

 Checking out our first ride - Dumbo!

Dana and Finley (too little to see)

He looks grumpy in this one but he really did love it!

Our wonderful, loving, patient, selfless Granny!!! 

Clowns!

Tea cups!

Dana packed us all lunches for Magic Kingdom. We found the perfect little spot for a picnic.

Cheeto lips Finley

 Getting Rapunzel's autograph

Those princess poses were killin' me.

 Finley was a little timid around Rapunzel

 William wanted in on the princess action. I think he was in disbelief at the amount of makeup Rapunzel was wearing...haha.

Dana and her girls with Cinderella!

 Papes was in heaven.

 Flirting with Cinderella.

Cinderella's castle where Payton and Finley had makeovers and dinner with the princesses one of the nights after we left. 

 Carousel!

More cousin love :)

 Princess Tiana. I learned more about princesses in 4 days than I have in my entire life.

 In awe!

 William liked Princess Tiana and even gave her a kiss!
