The Magic of Disney

The Kelly Summers Family descended upon Orlando this past weekend for four fun filled days of Disney! Our kids have been anxiously awaiting this day, saving money for over a year, and counting down the calendar for our trip with cousins. After some crazy rescheduling issues and long flights everyone arrived on Sunday morning, and we headed over to Disney's Animal Kingdom! Our first stop was the Bug's Life show, which everyone loved except for Jack. He proved to be a little more timid on the rides and shows, which really surprised us since he's such a maverick around the house. Shawn then took Sam to the Dinosaur ride, and I took Jack and Lyv to see the Nemo show! Lyv LOVED Nemo - she ate up every second of the show, and it was so funny to watch her get so excited. We then traveled back to Africa for a Summers' Safari. We saw a lot of great animals, and I think all the kids loved this ride. We took the kids back over to Dinoland and Jack was able to ride his favorite ride the Triceratops, while Sam hit up the Dinosaur ride a few more time. We ended our evening with a stomach dropping ride on the Everest Ride. I'm pretty good with rollercoasters and such, but that going backwards really got to me - or maybe it was the chocolate milkshake and churro lunch that I decided to have?

We did get to see a few characters including Flick, Goofy, and Pluto. Jack stood in line to get a picture with Flick, but when he got up to him he just looked at him like "Really, I have to take a picture with this blue bug man!" while the guy dressed up as Flick was working up a sweat to get Jack to be excited! It was too funny. Shawn and I took a picture at this very spot 10 years ago on our Honeymoon to Orlando. It is crazy to think how much our life has changed since that day - and how much Monkey Business we've been up to!)

By days end and a few turkey legs later - (seriously my kids were sucking on the bones so disgusting), the kids were happy but exhausted and we said goodbye to the wilds of Animal Kingdom.
