First days of fun in Orlando!

It was a VERY early morning for our flight out of Cedar Rapids but these two were awesome.

 

 

Preston looked out the window for the entire first flight.

They both are truly excellent travelers.

 

Four little monkeys sitting in the back of the van.

They were all looking for alligators on the way to the hotel.

 

These four had an awesome time hanging out in the hotel each day!

There was lots of giggling, running, and playing with tractors.

 

We had dinner at the Rainforest Café that night and took a few pictures with the alligator.

 

Staying by Downtown Disney was really fun.

We walked across the street each day and found lots of great things to do.

 

The next morning all the kids had an appointment at the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique.

We took a few more pictures on the way there.

 

The Lego Store was one of our favorite things to visit.

They all loved the Lego people.

 

Preston was super impressed with the Lego dog!

 

Peighton loved the dragon in the water.

 

 

 

There was a random dinosaur that everyone needed to touch too.

 

These two had so much fun just being boys.

 

The boys got a knight makeover complete with a sword and shield and tons of confetti in his hair.

 

 

 

I'm guessing this is the last time I will ever get him to do something like this. ;-)

 

But the sword and shield were totally worth it!!!!!

 

They both enjoyed it and spent the rest of the week slaying dragons!

 

 

Peighton's makeover took a lot more time and hairspray!

 

She LOVED every bit of it!

 

 

Everyone needs a little fairy dust!

 

Even though I was pulling hard for the classic Cinderella dress, she picked Elsa, of course.

 

After everyone's makeovers we headed to Magic Kingdom.

 

One of our faves-the teacups!

 

This boy LOVED all the rides!

He is definitely going to be my future roller coaster buddy!

 

Everyone enjoyed the Buzz Lightyear ride.

 

We made a very bad decision to ride the People Mover in Tomorrowland...and we got stuck on it when the ride stopped!!!!!

We had to wait for a LOOOOOOONG time for a "cast member" to rescue us.

I may never ride the People Mover again.

I have no idea how long we were there but it seemed like forever with 4 kids!

 

Peighton loved meeting all the princesses.

 

It was a fantastic day...until we got caught in a downpour.

The most magical place on earth is NOT very magical when it's pouring!!!!

But we still had fun!
