Friday, our last full day of vacation. We spent at Magic Kingdom.
The kids saw Pluto right off of the bat.
It's always so neat to see the castle in person.
The kids played "Sorcerers of Magic Kingdom"
They were given a bunch of cards and a map. They had to find different locations throughout the park and use clues and their card to defeat villins.
Waiting for The Country Bear Jamboree to start. This brought back memories from my childhood!
It's a Small World! Sawyer LOVED this ride!
We all loved it!
It was really hot! We spent some time on Tom Sawyer's Island. There was a lot of shade. The kids loved playing in the forts.
I spent some time with Sawyer while Russ, Jay and Marshall rode Space Mountain.
Space Mountain is my favorite by the way!
He loved his Pluto face paint! He was walking up to everyone saying "Hey... I'm Pluto" and pointing to his face.
Another classic ride, Dumbo the Flying Elephant.
The castle all lit up at night was really neat. After the electric parade and fireworks the park cleared out so we could ride just about everything again, with hardly any wait. Sawyer rode EVERYTHING, except for space mountain. He LOVED the rides.
He was exactly 40 inches, and they would constantly remeasure him. He would say
"I'm big enough!!" It was so cute.
We opened the park at 9 a.m. and closed the park at midnight!!
Sawyer stayed awake the whole day, until the ride home.
The next day we slept in until 8, ate breakfast, packed up and headed home.
Here are the kids with all 8 beads that they earned.
I'm so glad that we decided to do this vacation. We almost tried selling it, but since Russ is back to work and things are slowly returning to normal we decided that we kind of deserved it. We had a really rough 2 years, we made A LOT of sacrifices. We made it thru stronger then ever.
The kids were so so good!! We only did 2 theme parks to save money, and we didn't buy a lot of things. When we were leaving Magic Kingdom we let them pick one thing. They never begged, cried or even asked for anything EVER. I am so proud of how well behaved they are. We had a great bonding experience together.
We ended up driving straight home from Florida to Virginia. We got home at 3 a.m. on Sunday. We were tired, but it was soooo worth it!
Peace and love....
