Disney Part II

Still unsure of the giant characters

Hula hooping outside of the Crystal Palace

Everything was decorated for Halloween.

Exhausted at Epcot. We made them get up really early for Chef Mickey's.

Happy Halloween from Disney World!

We just sold our house and we're going to Disney World!

Disney is almost as much fun when you're an adult as when you're a kid. I say almost because it's a lot more work when you're the adult and you have the kids. But the boys loved it and so did we. It was also Chris' first trip to Disney World and Universal Studios. We spent nine days there and there were still things we didn't do. We went to the Magic Kingdom (which I could probably spend every day in), Epcot, Hollywood Studios and the two Universal parks. Let me just say, if you are taking kids, you can probably bypass half of Epcot and Universal Studios. Universal's Islands of Adventure had some things for the kids to do but otherwise they were pretty bored. Epcot wasn't a lot of fun this time. It was super crowded and the kids were exhausted that day.

Anyway, we stayed at one of Disney's resorts and we did the dining plan. I highly recommend both. It was so nice to not have to carry extra money around for meals. And we had a TON of food. By the end of the week we were all running around getting extra snacks to take back with us so we could get our money's worth.

Sam and Owen weren't all that in to meeting the characters so we bypasses a lot of crowds. We had two character meals and this little meet and greet with Mickey. As you can see they were a little unsure of seeing a lifesize Mickey in person. Sawyer LOVED it though. He was a little trooper. He rode everything he was able to and never got scared.

Big Changes

Well, we have had quite a couple of months. We have been wanting to sell our house for years, with twins we outgrew the 2 bedrooms. We made it a 3 bedroom and quickly outgrew that when Sawyer came along. We listed it (for the second time) in April. In mid September we finally got an offer! Yay! BUT, they wanted to close at the end of the month and us be out 2 days later. Well, of course we accepted it! But since then life has not slowed down. We closed on the 27th and were out on the 29th. And no, we did not have another house to go to. So, we are renting while we are searching. And can I just tell you, house hunting is WAY more difficult than I imagined it would be.

Adding to the stress was packing up a house while also packing for 9 days in Orlando. We were scheduled to leave for Disney World on the 30th. We did it. And when we got back we lived out of those suitcases for a couple weeks.

Disney World was awesome. The kids loved it. And Chris and I were sad to come back to the real world where no one makes our beds for us or cleans the bathrooms. I'll be back with a better post on Disney later.

So many stories...

I'm back! I've been away for a while, sorry. I have lots to post about but it's going to take some organizing. Since my last post, we have closed on our house and moved into a rental, we've all been sick and we've been to Disney World. I have lots of pics to share and lots of stories to tell but I need to get my thoughts together. I'll be back with a post soon!
