Disney World...

was SOOOO much fun!!

we recently got back from our second fun-filled magical trip to disney world.  this trip was extra special because it was made possible by my grandparents.  after they passed away last year, they were generous to leave behind some of their life's savings to me and requested that i do something special with it.  i talked to my mom about it and we decided that a fun trip would be the perfect way to honor them.  my grandparents LOVED family and traveling.  we decide disney was the perfect spot.  this was a destination that was guaranteed to create lasting memories and a place where everyone would have a FUN time.  i really wanted my parents to come with us.  soooo, we all ended up in orlando, florida for a week full of family and precious memories i will never forget.

here are a FEW of the highlights of our trip...

five steps into the magic kingdom and we got to have a meet and greet with these two famous mice- mickey and minney!  a perfect way to start our magical vacation.

walking down main street usa, taking in the first glimps of cinderella's castle.

jack's first roller coaster.  we even talked nana into riding too!

day 2.  animal kingdom

our little family about to have dinner with cinderella, prince charming, her step mother and the step sisters.  fun evening!

quick night visit to epcot, just the 4 of us.

magical moment for jack.  he met BUZZ!!  he was beyond excited!

the buzz lightyear ride was a family favorite.  i think we rode it 8 times. 

meeting jake the pirate was so much fun!  we are big fans of his at our house.

hollywood studios was so much fun!  we loved the toy story mania ride and the stunt car show.  good times!
