Disney 2008

We met my parents at a condo in Orlando and spent the long weekend relaxing and enjoying the attractions. At least, the kids and I did, Jonathan spent most of the time reading. I don't think it was as fun for him.

Friday, my parents, the kids, and I went to Downtown Disney. Rosemary enjoyed the legos...

...and the princesses.



Benjamin and my dad at the condo


Jonathan and Rosemary listened to some music during one of the football games.
On Monday, we went to the Magic Kingdom. We planned on ending the day at Epcot, so we parked there then took the monorail over to the Magic Kingdom. Since we were there so early, we got to ride in the front of the monorail.





Finally at the park! Rosemary wanted to get going, not take pictures.



Rosemary and I rode Dumbo first.



We saw Pooh while we were eating lunch.

Our lunch.

Ben's first "it's a small world" trip

I realized as I was going through photos that I had some pretty similar ones of Rosemary on small world the past few years.

Pirates of the Caribbean stopped while we were on it. We were in the same place about an hour before they evacuated the ride. We each got a special fastpass for any ride of our choice for the delay. Here are mom, Jonathan, and Rosemary while waiting...

...and Ben, me, and dad.

Jonathan and I used the fastpasses for Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain. Here we are at Big Thunder Mountain.

My dad took Rosemary for her first Speedway spin. He used to push the pedals for me when I was little.



Jonathan and Rosemary enjoyed the teacups...

...while Ben (who spent most of the day tucked in his stroller) and I watched from the side.

We wrapped up the day with a carosel ride.

On our way out, Rosemary tried to pull out the sword.

The castle was decorated for the Very Merry Christmas Party and was absolutely beautiful. We wore ourselves out, but had a great day.
