Disney Memorial Day Weekend

The summer started a whirlwhind season of travel and play for the dynamic duo, so we are a little behind on the pictures. We are taking a travel break now, so we hope to catch up on our posting over the next week or so with pictures.


It all started with a trip to Orlando over Memorial Day weekend and we were joined by YeYe and NaiNai. The boys have been to Orlando and Disney before, but this was going to be the first trip dedicated to taking them to Disney. We went down the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, took them to the Magic Kingdom on Sunday and went home Monday. For the Magic Kingdom visit, we arrived by about 10:00 am, took a break at about 1:30 pm for a lunch break and nap, and went back around 6:00 pm for the evening visit and finished up at midnight after we saw the parade and fireworks. The boys did great and seemed to have a great time. Below are the pictures.

We took the ferry from the parking lot to the Magic Kingdom. Here the boys are being shy in front of the camera. Fortunately, it didn't last that long.


Not sure what Robin is taking a picture of here.

On the train after arriving at Magic Kingdom.
The boys checking out a parade.




First stop...Country Bear Jamboree. It may be the first and only time the boys see this. For those of you who haven't seen it before, the only reason to go in is if you want to take a break and need some air conditioning. Needless to say, it wasn't our favorite.




Checking out another parade.


Christopher waiting for the jungle riverboat ride with NaiNai. We made NaiNai ride in a wheelchair because she has knee trouble. Also happened to help us with the lines (although it backfired on the jungle riverboat ride since we had to wait for the one boat that was designated for wheelchair accomodation.



Nathan waiting with YeYe.




Christopher actually liked the riverboat ride more than he appears in this picture.


Nathan's favorite part of the Disney was the Street Party! Here he is, dancing with Robin.





Now dancing with Woody!


Christopher wasn't quite as enthusiastic about dancing, but we at least got a picture of him and Woody.


On the ferry on the way back to the hotel for lunch and naps.


Surprisingly, one of the boys' favorite rides was the Peoplemover in Tomorrow Land.



In line to drive the race cars.


See the head peaking out? That's Nathan. Christopher was sitting next to Will who had the camera.



In line at It's a Small World!




Pictures from the Carousel.



Christopher decided to mess with NaiNai by licking her. As you can see, he really enjoyed grossing NaiNai out.




Back to the hotel for baths and a night of rest. The boys loved the bathtub with jetstreams.
