disney pictures

i am going to warn you, there are a lot of pictures. so many that i did not even attempt to edit any of them. they came from so many different sources that i can't even begin to separate them all. here they are, in somewhat of a random order...

i love this picture just for b's eye lashes. this was actually in valdosta at the hotel we stopped at on tuesday night.

our first ride we went on was at the animal kingdom. it was the safari ride and one of my favorites. the guys were so excited!

someone was so happy he got his mickey ears! he studied the whole cart of options before settling on the perfect pair. he wore them the entire time.

not much to say here. this is brooks in his glory.

best ride ever!

our one goal was to find the clubhouse. i hoped this would fulfill carson's wish and boy did it ever. he was so enthralled with the thing. the people working the show even let him stay a bit longer and look at it.

day two at the clubhouse show. how could i not take him back?

here is the video of carson seeing the clubhouse appear the first time we saw the show. i thought he was going to jump on stage.

here are a bunch of character pictures in no particular order. we had three character meals where you got to see them up close and personal. neither one was afraid of the characters and they loved running up and giving them big hugs and high fives. brooks even kissed minnie on the nose and then pumped his arms as if saying, "YES! I kissed Minnie!".

donald!

goofy!

running up to see minnie!

with "the real" mickey mouse, as carson would say.

i love this one because of brooks' face, he was super excited that day! carson was busy watching the replay of the clubhouse puppet show.

high fives!

our last night in disney and carson just couldn't hold on. he slept through the entire meal.

we had so much fun running all over the parks. the guys loved all the rides, except when we took carson on splash mountain. he was all excited till about have way through. then he kept asking to turn around. once we made it past the big drop he didn't know if he should laugh or cry so he did both. poor kid, we probably ruined roller coaster for him!

hi, megan!

splash mountain!

for some reason i was obsessed with finding the turkey legs. it was good, though.

i even got to see a very dear friend of mine, val, who happened to be in disney at the same time!

the nemo ride was so much fun and turtle talk with crush was awesome!

probably the most fun they had was playing with the bubble gun brooks had to have.

a very rare moment. brooks passed out. he ran himself into the ground one day and just couldn't keep his eyes open.

dinner at the grand floridian.

b getting in trouble at the grand floridian dinner. we actually had to have a "moment" to ourselves away from everyone after he threw a spoon at me.

what a wonderful vacation! everyone had such a fun time, and i have to admit, i loved it more than i thought i would. not just for the fact of seeing the boys be so excited and amazed, but for the enormity of the whole place. i have a feeling we will be going back!
