Oops... How could I forget!

Yes, I just realized I forgot (not sure how that happened) to share our trip to the Magic Kingdom!

For completing the Walt Disney World Marathon Todd and I were able to participate in Marathon Monday.
We were given tickets to one park of our choice and since we were sure we could not get away with only the two of us going, we succumbed to the pressure and got tickets for the boys too...
Kids...

Our morning not only began with the alarm and excited children...
but screams of agony as our asphalt battered feet hit the ground.
To say we walked around the Magic Kingdom for 11 hours would be stretching it...
More like limping in an ibuprofen induced haze would be more like it!

After bidding Grammie and Dada Good bye...
Oh, by the way, we owe Grammie and Dada BIG TIME!!!!!!!!
They were so awesome to go with us and take care of the Triple Trouble!
It truly would not have been possible without them!
They ROCK!!!!!!!!

Finally, this wacky band of characters was on their way to the Magic Kingdom!
(Note the pedestal the boys are standing on... Todd and I should have been sitting on it!)

Our first stop was Adventureland...
Actually, that is a lie... our first stop was the Bakery on Main Street...
And 2 ENORMOUS Cinnamon Rolls...

Moving on....

The boys were super excited and ready to get the ball rolling.... get it...

They were ready to have a "BLAST"... I crack myself up!

First Attraction... Aladdin's Magic Carpet... 
Dat Dat sat this one out... 
Next was the world famous Jungle Cruise....
Grady was checking out the Gorillas..

Those Todd's and their handsome grins!

Next Stop.... The Tiki Room...
Because you can sit for a few minutes...
And if you are lucky enough to have no one sitting next to you, you can prop up your pain riddled feet. 

Then onto our MUST SEE every time... more than once...
Pirates of the Caribbean... and look who was there....
A bunch of Goofballs!!!!! 
Next, a photo just after leaving the Country Bears... again... an opportunity to sit...

And look who was on our path as we headed to Liberty Square....

Finally, it was time to visit the Hall of Presidents.
Grady kept asking me...
"Mommy, where is Barakan Obaman?"

After this, we went on to visit the 999 Happy Haunts that reside in the Haunted Mansion...
Remember, there is always room for one more....
I did a count.
We all made it out.

After this, it was time for lunch and that was good, cuz a storm was a coming!
So we sat at Cosmic Rays and waited for the sun to shine again.

Then, after spending some time in Tomorrowland, Dat Dat and Todd went on Space Mountain and the little boys and I rode the People Mover til we spotted this guy..


We all love Buzz!!!!
Even through the pain, the day seemed to race by.
We all had an amazing time and enjoyed every moment.
We did see the parade, rode Pirates again just before the fireworks and Todd and Todd even made it on Big Thunder twice.
So much fun.

It can really wear you out.


Thanks Walt... again, you made our day.
