We're back! Actually we got back on Wednesday but this is the first moment I've had to sit down and blog. We had a great trip. It's sad that it is over and we have to get back to reality. We had a great time at Disney World even though it rained. The rain actually made it more tolerable because it kept it from being to hot. We also had a great time at the beach. Perfect weather and beautiful beach and water. After a year of planning and waiting it was such a great family trip with memories to last a life time. We have tons of pictures that I will post for family history sake. Sorry if we bore you with our picture overload.

Waiting at the airport to fly to Orlando.The kids did awesome on the plane. Ashlyn slept the last two hours which made the flight more relaxing for me. :)
Ashlyn sat in this as we were waiting to board the plane!
Once we got to Orlando and rented our car we drove to our hotel checked in and then found some food for dinner. After that the kids really wanted to go to Downtown Disney so that was our first Disney stop of the trip. The boys just really wanted to go to the Lego store. Here is a pic of some of the cool things they built out of Legos.

Our first day we got up early and headed to Magic Kingdom. We got there a little after it opened at 9 and stayed until almost 10:30pm. It was a long, but fun day. The weather was hot, but the kids didn't seem to care and had a great time riding all the rides. Gavin went on everything with Nate, and Liam went on most of the ride with them. Ashlyn and I stuck to the calmer rides and had a great time.
Hanging out at Frontierland.
Proof that I actually went on Splash Mountain. First time in my life!
The famous castle!
Proof that I was on the trip. I'm not in many of the pictures. :)
The carousal was one of Ashlyn's favorite. She also enjoyed the magic carpets ride, and buzz lightyear ride.
Trying to pull the sword from the stone.
I think Liam was close to doing it!
Ashlyn just smiled cute!
Nate and the boys on the teacups ride. Nate spun them so much I thought the boys were going to throw-up. But they still went on it another 3 or 4 times!
Waiting for the light parade.
Beautiful castle. I didn't get any pictures of the light parade because I was holding Ashlyn so she could see over all the people. Nate was holding Gavin and Liam. It was a LONG parade. :)

Our second day at Disney World we got up early again and headed to Hollywood Studios. There are some rides there, but mostly shows to go too. We saw the Indiana Jones show, the little mermaid show, and the Disney Junior show. We loved the Toy Story ride and Star Tours. Gavin's favorite was the Tower of Terror.
Liam and Ashlyn were so excited to see Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates their favorite show.
The famous Mickey hat.
The Mickey ears water tower. You can see the dark clouds in the background. It poured on us a few minutes after I took the picture.
Hollywood Tower of Terror. They rode it 3 times!
We didn't stay to late at Hollywood Studios so the kids got a chance to swim in one of the many pools at our hotel.
Ashlyn is our little fish. She couldn't get enough of swimming. Good thing she starts swim lessons next week!
