Disney World - October 2012

 We went to Disney World in October.  It was an awesome trip - a magical time at Disney and also really fun to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa Graham, Brad, Karissa, Jude, Ryan, Marianne, Ben, and Elizabeth.  We packed in SO much fun everyday, I think we needed a week to recover at home.  It was a trip we will never forget.  The boys loved the roller coasters and Emily found lots of rides that she loved too.  We went to Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Epcot.  Andy's favorite rides included: Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Buzz Lightyear, Toy Story, Mission Space, and Star Tours.  Jack's favorites were: Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, Tower of Terror, Toy Story, and Jungle Boat.  Emily loved Winnie the Pooh, It's a Small World, Dumbo, the Carousel, and Buzz :)  We went on Buzz A LOT!  There were times in the early morning and at night when we could just walk on a lot of the rides.  We also had lots of fun swimming at the hotel, eating meals with everyone, and just exploring the parks.  The kids liked to see the characters at a distance (especially Emily) but got nervous when they got really close.  I'll get to the pictures! 

A family pic in front of the castle.  The kids didn't really want to stop for a picture, but I promise they were having fun :)

A picture with Grandma and Grandpa - all smiles here!!  Thanks for all of the fun memories Grandma and Grandpa!
