Orlando! June 28-29th, 2018

Our 13-day vacation began on June 28th! We started our vacation in Orlando - one night in Orlando, one day at Disney World! 

Thursday, June 28th, we arrived in Orlando. Our sweet niece Kate turned 15 on the 29th, so we celebrated her on the 28th with a hibachi-style dinner! That's the birthday girl, on the far left. :) We love you, Kate! 

And I LOVE this picture!!! Ben looks so good!! And Brooke - we love you, sweet girl. Thanks for being such an awesome cousin. 



Yiyia and Aunt Elsie with the grandkids. :) I love this photo!


Hello, Disney World!

Animal Kingdom

Kate, Lainey, Ella


 Hi cute kids. :) 

the cutest, tiniest monkey


Walker and I...trying to be brave on Expedition Everest. 

After the ride...Walker wasn't too thrilled about the experience. But he did it. We were very proud of him!

before the Avatar Flight of Passage (one of my favorite "rides")



Literally the craziest, fastest roller coasted I've EVER been on! Lainey rode it with us twice; Walker almost rode with us but he panicked at the last minute! :) 

SO. FAST.

I love Cally's face. She's totally terrified, covering her face! Brooke, Chris, and Collin are loving it, however!

Lainey's face is amazing. It's basically how she approached every single experience at Disney World.

Ben and Greg...

Remember, we rode this thing two times. Therefore, we have several repeat-pictures.

This thing was SO crazy! We loved it! Maybe all of us but Kate...front row, second from left. ;) She was totally terrified!


It rained the ENTIRE afternoon at Disney World. Walker refused to wear a poncho...as did Uncle Greg. :)

These performers were dancing to "Singing in the Rain."








Uncle Chris and Ben (and someone not connected to our party)

Brooke, Ella, and Lainey

This is one of my favorite photos...Walker's face on the Space Mountain roller coaster is priceless. At one point on this roller coaster, during a five-second moment of "calm", we heard a large clank and Walker immediately yelled out, "I'm still here!" It might be one of the funniest things he's ever said.

end-of-day exhaustion

SOAKED kiddos! :) What a fun day!

As a final surprise, we were treated to a boat ride and a fireworks show!




Beautiful!

Lainey was DONE. This kid. When she stops, she STOPS. And she sleeps hard.

It took Walker about 5 minutes to follow suit. :) An awesome, fun-filled, exhausting day. We loved Disney World!
