Disney World/Florida October 1-6

 October has been such a crazy month that I have had a hard time trying to keep up with everything (including the blog).  The first week of October we went to Florida for a family vacation.  It was a fun getaway.  The boys had their moments (what kids don't?!) but overall we made some fun memories and the boys had a blast!  We arrived in Orlando on Monday night, and Tuesday we spent the day at Disney World Magic Kingdom.  This was the best day out of them all.  The boys were really excited.  They got a prize everyday, and that day, they got a Mickey Mouse shirt (matching of course)!  The following day we went to the Animal Kingdom.  We were able to see a Finding Nemo musical show.  Both the boys loved it.  Austin loved clapping when each scene ended.  It was pretty cute.  We saw animals, shows, and a parade.  By the end of the day, the boys were pooped.  Two days in a row of parks should do it!  The following day (Thursday) we headed to Cocoa Beach for the day.  There is nothing more fun/relaxing for everyone than a day at the beach, and since we had been dying in the heat, it felt wonderful to take a dip in the waves.  The last day we were able to go to the Orlando Children's museum.  They had lots of fun things for the kids to do.  It was a great vacation, but it was also nice to make it home on Saturday!

Enjoying their prizes on the plane!

We made it!

Austin really enjoyed the Dumbo ride.  

Waiting in line.

Tea cups.

Austin fell asleep as we waiting in line for the Monster's Inc. comedy show.

The last attraction of the day!  We finally got to meet Mickey and Minnie.  Now anytime Austin sees a  picture of Mickey, he gets excited and says "Mouse, mouse!"

We were headed back to the car and had to take a picture of this.  So pretty!  (Can you tell we look tired and wet from the rain!)

Animal Kingdom Dino ride.  

Enjoying the safari ride.  (I tried to upload a video, but the internet wasn't cooperating).

Playing in the sand.

The fam!

The last walk through the waves.

Picking oranges at the children's museum.

It was a pretty cute area.  You could pick oranges, ride on the tractor, and empty your basket into a machine that would put them back into the tree!

Gary was enjoying this more than the boys.

We were able to watch the 'gators get fed.  (I thought this was a pretty funny picture of Austin.  I swear we're always wrestling a kid in a photo!)

Dino dig!

Both boys getting into it!

Trains, planes, and cars.  What more could a boy want?!  (Austin was asleep by this point).

Fixing the car.

We went to Cici's Pizza for dinner, and a man made these balloons for the boys.  (Jake has a monkey  on a banana tree).  Thank goodness for that man, this entertained Jake the entire dinner time.  They should have balloon man at every restaurant!

Austin's was a dog!

So this darn picture somehow got out of order, and I couldn't get it to go where I wanted.  I just had to include it because it's too cute!  I love that Jake is holding his hand and Austin is trying to touch his face!
