Disney World: Spring Break Part 5,786...I mean Four

I know, I know- this is like the spring break that won't end. These are mostly for journal purposes now...and for the grandparents.
MGM & Animal Kingdom
Welcome to MGM!


Tower of Terror. I wish the drop lasted a little longer but still worth going on .


Todd playing his guitar. The Aerosmith ride was awesome. It's a faster version of Space Mountain with loops and corkscrews. Not to mention good music. We did it a couple times each.


Fisher was having a rough day. The lack of sleep was starting to wear on him. We finally gave him a sucker that just made his life! He had it for hours.


Fisher still had his sucker as we entered Animal Kingdom. It was such a neat park, but it was a lot more crowded and didn't have the additional sidewalk space.


There was this huge tree in the middle.


Fisher watching the monkeys while Todd took a ride on Everest- another really fun ride.


The monkey on the right had a baby on her stomach. It was very cute.


A view of "Everest"


We took this fun safari ride and these are the buses we rode on.


There were all kinds of animals. Zebras, for example...


Elephants...


Flamingos...

Lions and a lot of other animals. Fisher just kept getting really excited about all the trees...


After 13 hours of driving, the Georgia Aquarium, one day at Universal Studios, two eight hour days at Disney World, five missed naps and four nights of going to bed late along with not sleeping in his normal bed...he finally pooped out as we were literally walking out of the park. Of course the photo was even more classic being that he fell asleep while sucking on his sucker, hence it being in his hand all all over his face. You have to love Disney World.


We don't find ourselves in this situation very often.


Since Fisher went right to sleep we decided to go spend a night out on the town in our new ride.

Kidding people...we didn't leave Fisher unattended.

Twilight Promo Video

Summit Entertainment released a promo video of Twilight. I know that you all are going to be just as excited over this as I was. Ha ha. Just be glad I haven't been posting updates on the movie every time I find one. :) This one was too much fun to pass up.

Disney World- Magic Kingdom: Spring Break Part Three

I don't have much else to post about so here are more pictures of Fisher on our trip :) Fisher and I are both sick right now...it sucks.


Todd and I were practically bouncing out of our seats when we saw this sign. We have both wanted to go to Disney World for a long time.


It is a big entrance.


Fisher's favorite part of DW was riding the shuttles and the monorail. He kept asking to ride the "choo choo train!"


Here he is on the monorail.


The entrance to Magic Kingdom.


One day we want a bush in our yard to look like this.


One of our first stops was the teacups. Fisher had his mind on on other things. J/K. He was very excited.


Here Fisher is at the beginning helping Todd turn the tea cup...


And here he is by the end...looking like he spun one to many circles.


While Todd took a ride on Space Mountain (one of my favorites) Fisher and I found a shady spot. It was really hot outside. Fisher had fun playing in the planters.



This was taken as we walked through the castle. I found it entertaining; Todd's head is glowing and Fisher was screaming at the top of his lungs.


Beautiful, but hot day.


Flying on Dumbo. Fisher had so much fun making Dumbo go up and down.


Next we hit up It's A Small World. Fisher loved it.


In line for The Haunted Mansion. I was a little worried that it might spook him, but Fisher did just fine.


I thought this might have been Todd on Splash Mountain, but it wasn't. I decided to put it up still just to say we went on that ride.



Mouse Ears.


Todd thought this was funny....


And I thought Jack Sparrow was just plain creepy in this picture. Fisher liked riding on the boat.


Mini Jack Sparrow.


Armed and Dangerous.


We didn't go into Epcot but Todd wanted to get one of "his pictures" to say that he had actually been there.

Universal Studios: Spring Break Part Two

Our first destination in Florida was Universal Orlando.


We decided to go to Universal Studios first. It ended up being our least favorite so it is nice it was our first day and not the last. It was a little rough with Fisher still being sick, sleep deprived and us trying to figure out a system so that we could both go on rides without having to spend hours in lines.


Fisher and his Daddy. They are best buds. And yes, Michelle, that is a leash (in the form of a monkey) on Fisher :) It is the best thing ever when it comes to places with crowds!


Todd absolutely loves this movie and the music in it so he was rather excited to see they were going to perform.


Todd, Fisher and Jake Blues.


Elwood Blues in the car that has "cop wheels, cop lights, cop engine."



A little stop to the Kwik-E-Mart.


The boys again.


I had to lather Fisher in 50 Sunscreen about 5 times a day. He still would come out with a red little nose or cheeks.


This will be the first of a few pictures where Todd is feeding our first born to various animals over the course of the week.

Happy Birthday Ken!

Happy Birthday Ken. You are a wonderful brother and a have always been a great example to me. We wish we could have been there with you to celebrate your big 3-0 but know that we were thinking about you today!
