MICKEY MOUSE!

When Mimi said that Papa had a conference in Orlando, we put our heads together and put together a little trip to see the mouse!  The last time we went Ava was 4 and Bennett was 5 months AND Nick wasn't with us so it was definitely time to go again!  We had a great time and made many special memories.
They were only just a little bit excited the morning we headed to Magic Kingdom...

 All the boy wanted to do was drive, drive and drive some more!


 We let the boys take the kids on the tea cups. Of course Papa did what he does best and spun that cup around like crazy!



 I didn't think they would love all of the shows and parades, but it turns out they happened to be two of their most favorite things!

 We stayed at the Art of Animation in the Little Mermaid rooms. We loved it!  Three great pools and lots to do!  The water was a tad chilly, but Ava and Bennett could have cared less!
 Cars....need I say more. He had to have his picture with every.single.car! Ava gave up after the first few!







 We had tickets on Saturday night to Mickey's Not so Scary, so we took Ava to the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique.  You would have thought you gave her a million dollars!






 Every where we went that night...every single person at Disney called her "Princess." Bennett borrowed a Jack Sparrow costume from a friend so he was ready for the fun night too!
 
 

 Mickey's Not so Scary was awesome!  We rode every ride several times with no wait, went trick or treating, saw characters, fireworks, shows, parades, danced with Woody, Bullseye and Jesse.




 Can you tell they are done!  It was almost midnight in this picture and they were both plain worn out!
One of the best times ever...can't wait to go back soon!

Oh how we've missed you St. George Island...

 
I know I say it every year, but this place has a way of renewing my soul. It's a little slice of heaven on earth. This was the 7th year we've had the chance of playing and making new memories and I am so very thankful for the time we get to spend there every year. A picture (pictures) is worth a thousand words and clearly from the pure joy on all of our faces you can tell what a great time we had there.
