We had such a fun trip!
The kids are at such fun stages and
are the perfect ages for Disney
Matthew and Afton can go all day and then all night
Halle loves the magic and is still a little worried about meeting characters
Nora loved hanging out in her stroller and snacking
We left Chicago early in the morning,
but the kids were rarin' to go as soon as we checked into the hotel...
Aunt Heather joined us early the next morning, so we headed to the Animal Kingdom.
We rode Everest,
the not-so-smart of us rode the tube ride and Halle got drenched,
saw the shows and visited with lots of characters.
Grandma & Grandpa, Chad, Jordan and Garrett joined us on Friday as we headed back to the Magic Kingdom for a fun princess lunch and lots more rides!
We would also make another trip back here after the kids' races for the parades and fireworks!
The kids all participated in the Disney Family Races
Nora fell asleep at the starting line, but the other kids were excited for their first races!
They loved their t-shirts, medals, treats and pictures
And the initial reason for our big family get-together?
Heather and I were running in the Princess Half-Marathon!
It was a fun race from start to finish
with lots of stops for pictures and characters
After all the partying and a half-marathon,
we still weren't tired
so Matthew, Afton, Heather, Grandma and I headed to Universal to check out the World of Harry Potter.
It is a fun park, but the rides were more intense and the kids were a bit nervous.
Heather and I rode them all and Grandma and the kids strolled around a lot!
By this time, I had run out of battery with my camera, so all pictures are courtesy of Heather!
Our final day we headed to Hollywood Studios and one last trip to the Magic Kingdom
We stayed out very late to get in as much as we could!
Even Paul wasn't totally Disney-ed out by this time.
We loved being with our family and with the kids
and loved experiencing everything through their eyes!

Looks like SO much fun!! Can't wait until we take Josh to Disney. I love ALL your pictures, especially that family one at the top. You are a great looking group!
Looks like you packed about as much fun as a person could have in your time there!!! Great to see all the pictures. Love, Grandma J
So much fun... if only we were still there :)
I love all things Disney. These pictures made me actually excited for our trip to Dland in May. I'm so proud of you and Heather for doing all these races together. I've got to get my act together and actually do one!
Wow...what a fun trip! Your kids will forever remember that. I still think about the Disney World trip my dad took us on when I was 4. You are a good mom!
