Sleepy Gavin
Just wanted to share what a great traveler little Gavin is. He has been such a trooper. Here are a couple of pics of him snoozing along the way.

Disney - Funny Memories
Yesterday we had 1 more fun day in the parks, and decided everyone was at their Disney limit :-) I'm really not sure who could spend more than 5 days in the parks...it's like a fun pentathalon!
As we got one last view of our new winter home, it occurred to us that the people we ran into were part of the experience of this goofy place!
So, we wanted to say our good-byes to some of our funnier memories as well...
1. Over zealous line cutting Jets fan, did you really think your team could get past Payton Manning like you did us? Is it wrong that we chuckled when you got hit by the light saber holding Jedi Knight 5 yr old we had been standing next to?
2. Grumpy pin trading mom, why do you let your daughter trade pins if you're going to ban all the ones except for the dorky Monsters Inc. pin that Disney clearanced out 3 yrs ago? Yes, we have the special edition Tinker Bell pin too, but we didn't want to rain on your parade!
3. We send our apologies to the Magic Kingdom Speedway for Gracey's driving! When Jen told her she was a crazy driver her only response was "I told ya!" We'll practice before our next visit :-)
4. Nice cast member at the cabin check-in who informed me that Disney doesn't provide ANY free wifi spots...what was I thinking? This was almost as funny as the cast member who tricked me into going into the Mickey store for free bandaids only to be told "Disney doesn't treat injured kids, bandaids are $2.50!"
5. By 5, I mean 5 kids! The fun time we spent with Bailey was highlighted by the obvious question, "Are they all yours?" Our consistent response was of course, "No, only 4 of them, 5 would be CRAZY!"
6. Gavin, we're sorry Mama tried to feed you during It's a Small World, and you kept sitting up to view your little friends singing that wonderful song! Someday you'll be embarassed by this story on many levels...
We're going to miss our singular Wood's Family (not to be confused with their infamous neighbor), and can't wait for our next get together!
Ok, we're all packed up, and outta here!

Disney - Magic Kingdom Late
My little camera phone doesn't do the Magic Kingdom lights justice, but we had a fun time out late tonight!
Disney - Animal Kingdom
This morning we started off our visit to the Animal Kingdom by celebrating Bailey's birthday with Donald and co...
One of my favorite parts of this park is the safari, where Gavin was very happy to get out of the stroller!
Josh was pretty excited to pet the animals...
It's been a fun day, and we plan on heading back to the Magic Kingdom, once this park closes for some extra magic hours!

Disney - Epcot Center
Day 3 was a grumpy start for Josh and Grace ;-) Gavin woke up in a GREAT mood, which I think is because he heard we're meeting the princesses this morning! As you can see, a late night celebrating Jen's birthday wore everyone out for our visit to Epcot (one of my favorite parks):
It's only 59 deg this morning, which is awesome compared to the 70's we saw yesterday. The girls were all matchy matchy (thanks Nana), which I think is why Jen secretly likes Disney so much!
Our breakfast with the princesses included a picture with a troll, which made us realize Bailey doesn't like trolls!
The rest of the day we're going to ride Soarin and Test Track, and with a little luck we'll fill up our passport as well!

Disney - Hollywood Studios
For the second day at Disney (and Jen's birthday), we decided to go to the park "formerly known as" MGM Studios. We got a little bit of a late start, but got here in time for Gavin to get noticed at the American Idol Experience. I think all of those bibs with his name on them finally paid off!
Hollywood Studios has lots of cool photo opps, and the kids had a lot of fun bugging their Mom along the way :-)
My favorite part (besides Emma dragging her Mom onto the Rockin' Roller Coaster), was the set that looks like San Francisco:
We finished the evening by taking a boat to the Swan Resort, followed by another boat ride that finally found us at Chef Mickey's for Jen's birthday dinner! ...thanks Josh for 5 picture attempts with goofy faces:
We wish everone was here for the fun!

Disney - Magic Kingdom
We made it to Disney World! The kids were great on the trip, and it was actually easier than flying :-)
Here's a pic of the kids at the bus stop by our cabin:
The cool thing about staying at Fort Wilderness is you can take a boat directly to the Magic Kingdom! Here are a couple pics of the kids as we get ready for the boat ride (yes, they're a little nervous)!
We get to hang out with our lil cousin Bailey, and are having a great day!

In route to Disney
Well, it's been entirely too long since we've updated our blog, and even though I had great plans to update things throughout the holidays, I think it's time to cut our losses, and just start posting fresh today! Phew...what a relief to say I'm caught up, without having to worry about all the great fun we've had, but I haven't had time to write about :-) In case you're curious, there are a few photo updates online, so here's a link to help get everyone caught up:

Today we started our roadtrip to FL to visit our cousins and our old friend Mickey. Yes, I said ROADTRIP, and we're having fun if the kids like it or not! I don't remember who had the idea to drive, but the kids have been great and we're making decent time.
I'll keep things brief, but here is what the back of the van looks like when you pack for 6 (great job honey...this is less than we used to take on trips when Josh was a baby)!
The kids are happy with their new seating arrangements, but as I write this I'm sitting in the middle looking over at Gavin, so you can see we've had to make a few minor changes to keep everyone happy :-)
Here's to a great start to 2010!
