Disney World

We went to Disney World the week before Thanksgiving. We met Tony, Allie, AJ and Adeline there and everyone had a great time. The parks were empty the first three days and we were able to walk onto all the rides. Nick felt jipped not being able to use all the fast passes he ran around collecting. It was definitely more crowded on the weekend and we put the fast passes to use. It was so fun to see Laci's reaction to the characters and princesses. The boys couldn't care less for this kind of stuff but Laci loved it. She also loved Tony's family. She pretty much dropped Nick and I like hot rocks and wanted to spend every waking minute with "my Tony" and "Adeline's mommy." She couldn't quite get the name Allie down. They held her, pushed her in her stroller (by request, of course) and she would break out into tears when we went our separate ways to sleep. Nick got a bit jealous of "the other man" in her life. Drew reached a milestone in his life that week. He was tall enough to ride Tower of Terror and Splash Mountain for the first time. He was freaked out. It was so funny. Tower is a scary ride for a 4 year old. Here are a lot pictures in totally random order: Lunch at Cinderella's Castle
