We had a great time at Disney World! Four days probably wasn't enough to see it all, but it was enough to do a lot and we really enjoyed our trip. Below are a few pics that pretty much sum up what we did. Both boys declared that "Space Mountain" was their favorite ride, and Addison was soooo proud of himself for riding (he'd taken a pass on the scary expedition Everest ride at Animal Kingdom). It was just nice to spend time together in a fun (if a little crowded) place. Thanks so much to Brent, Nana and Papa for taking care of Aaron while we were gone. I saw plenty of little kids there his age and younger and did not envy them or their parents! Hope you enjoy the pics with commentary.

Inside the Magic Kingdom--Cinderella's Castle in the background.
Eating dinner In Cinderella's Castle (thanks, Mother!) Was a fun time and the food was actually good. The boys were tickled over swords they got after having their picture made with Cinderella. Andrew gets a kiss from one of the Cinderella mice.
We finally got to meet Mickey Mouse, around midnight when the lines were short (and it was chilly). This was inside Mickey's Toontown fair, an area for younger children complete with a kiddie roller coaster the boys really enjoyed.
The classic tea-cup ride. Those things spin pretty fast!
Genvieve and Andrew prepare to battle the Evil Emperor Zirk (Zirg?) as Buzz Lightyear gives instructions in the background. This ride was fun, no sudden drops or dips, just coasting thru with laser guns shooting at the targets and villains. We felt like real space cadets :)
Laser blaster--check!
With Zirk.
Addison and Andrew got put in the stocks at Liberty Square.
This was a Star Tour similator ride at Disney's MGM studios, where we spent the last day. Notics C3PO in the background.
The boys were glad to see Daddy and Aaron at home!
