Impending Storm = Impending Fun!!!


I was looking through my pictures tonight and found this one. I just thought it looked really cool with the big dark clouds and the ocean. And Abby (and Noah's behind) of course!!! Anyway, just thought I'd share!!

Our Disney Trip in Review (September 2008)

Here's a few pics (I took over 1200) from our Disney Trip in September.


Noah and Abby brought Donald and Daisy shirts, so we made sure to find them while they were wearing them!!




This is from Teppan Edo the Japanese restaurant in EPCOT. I had never been to a Japanese restaurant before and didn't know what to expect. This is the kind where they cook the food right in front of you. It was so much fun and the food was outstanding!! I loved it and the kids did too!! We're definitely going back next time!!

This giraffe sneaked up on us during our Kilimanjaro Safari at the Animal Kingdom. We turned a corner and it was right there beside our truck!! We did three different safari's during our trip and all of them were amazing. It's one of my very favorite rides at all of Walt Disney World. We were so close to the rhinos, you could count their nose hairs!! Well maybe not that close, but it seemed like it!!


This is from the Sci-Fi Drive in Theater Restaurant at Disney Studios. This was also our first time eating there and it was lots of fun. The kids loved being in the front of the car for dinner while me and Daddy "rode" in the back!! The food was just ok, but I would definitely do it again for how cool it was. We watched old clips of movies on a big screen just like a drive in. It was a hoot!!

This happened during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Pluto was dancing and Abby and Noah danced with him. They were dressed as Lilo and Stitch. I made Abby's dress, I think it turned out pretty well!!


This was also during the Halloween party, but at our dinner. We ate at the Liberty Tree Tavern and all the staff was made up for Halloween. I loved how spooky our server looked and asked her for a picture with the kids. I'm not sure she gets that request very often because she seemed a little surprised!! I think the picture turned out kind of cool though!!



This was on Abby's Birthday. I decided to take her to the My Disney Girl Tea Party at the Grand Floridian Resort. She and I dined on little finger foods and sandwiches, tea (she had apple juice) and the most delicious cake I've ever had. We had stories told from Rose Petal (a lady who used to be a rose in the King's garden) and Princess Aurora (Abby's favorite princess) arrived and visited with all the girls. She took home a My Disney Girl doll dressed as Princess Aurora, a little bracelet, a tiara and a beautiful pink rose. It was a magical way to spend her birthday and I think she was very surprised!!

And this was the kiddies riding Aladdin's Magic Carpets at the Magic Kingdom. Don't they look cute in their glasses!!
