disney day 2

We headed to Animal Kingdom on day 2...always a favorite for our animal lovers :)

Not intentional...and didn't even realize it at the house that morning :))

Getting ready for our Everest expeditions!

And Gehrig kept getting front row.  He was super excited and they all did so great!

Dinos :)

And super cute Nemo show...

The big dinosaur ride!  They were so brave :)

And safari time :)

A friend who wanted to hang close to me for a little while ;)

And our train ride back with cutie kiddos

Full crew pic at the Tree of Life...love

Just the Massey five...

And a coffee/snack date with the girls

(While the guys rode Everest again ;))

Later, we went back to Magic Kingdom for some night riding...Garner and I had the best time riding high in the rockets and seeing everything all lit up.  Loved this with the castle in the background :))

And B and the bigs rode Space Mountain one more time...

Race track fun

And a couple more before the park closed...it was really fun :))

(I have to say that the nighttime view of all the lights and the castle and bright moon made me catch my breath right before the big drop on Splash Mountain.  One of those magical moments for sure :))

Finishing up with the electrical parade on the way out...

Another jam-packed and memory-filled day...so thankful :))

disney day 1

Truly so thankful for the opportunity to go to Disney again with the Links and Matt's parents this time too. After the big reveal, we spent the next three days packing and talking and getting so excited about all the plans!  It was a perfect amount of time for the kids to know about it before heading that way :)

Greer packed Charlotte and a few other favorite things.  She said it was only fair that she would get to go to Disney since Isabelle went to NYC last summer :)

Loaded up!  Our men fit in one more day of work and left later in the day while Jenn and I got a head start to get there in time for unpacking, dinner and an early bedtime.  The kids all did so great for the 7-hour drive!  So thankful :)

(Had to include a pic of our crew at a quick stop for tires in the early am :))

We made it!  The house was so great and perfect for our crew...

First stop: Magic Kingdom.  Garner: "I'm taking Elsa to see Elsa!!!"

Cute crew

So beautiful there this time of year (fall, not February when I'm finally posting haha ;))

Picture-posing practice for Mama ;)

And the real smiles begin :))

Although so excited to meet Elsa and Anna, Garner's shyness was hard to overcome...

She loves having their autographs on her doll though :))

Love all these:

And finishing up with beautiful castle pics...

Hearts full and ready for rest before another fun day coming! :))
