Oh yeah.
Make sure you scroll back to older posts. I didn't have enough room all on one page for all the piccy goodness!
Moving.
So we got up on Monday, all prepared to do the Animal Kingdom and use our last day's ticket and meet up with my friend again......... and it was pouring rain. We could have done the Hollywood Studios but we hadn't been overly interested in that anyways, and we really needed to get going. So we still have a ticket good for one day at Disney. :P
I was so sad that we had to leave. I really wanted to do the Animal Kingdom. I know the boys would have loved it.
But we got on the road instead and drove back up to Fort Rucker to pick up Hercules from our awesome neighbors and a bunch of stuff we had left with our other awesome neighbors. Then we said our good byes and started driving. We stayed that night in Mobile. Then we drove all day Tuesday and arrived in San Antonio late Tuesday night. Wednesday we got up and went to see our new house... which was a mess. They had told us it was ready when I called on Monday. I called THREE times to make sure. It wasn't. Hadn't been cleaned or anything. It was nasty. NASTY. So we called and we were so upset because ABF had already dropped off our moving trailer full of stuff and to have them come move it would cost us so much money!!! So they tried to accomodate us and showed us a few other properties. We had originally chosen a one story, but ended up taking a two story. I think it's a better choice for us anyways. It was on the same street as our original house, so we didn't have them come move the truck, which ended up being a HUGE hassle. We had to carry ALL our stuff about 3 duplex houses up the street. UP. But we had some people from church come over and help us. The new bishop brought his pickup and we just ended up loading stuff into it and driving it up to the house. SO much work. We were/ARE beat!
We have spent the last few days just unpacking and moving in. All that fun stuff. Yay.
And we bought our tickets for DEPECHE MODE in August!!!! WOOT!!!!!!

Epcot Day Two!!
What a BUSY DAY!!!!
We got a late start today, determined no to wear ourselves out. We got to the park around noon and spent the day visiting all the countries. UK was my favorite of course! :D Nathan went and did a special "Behind the Seeds" tour of the Epcot greenhouses while I took the older two over to a neat play area. Sam went with Daddy! :)
We made reservations for StoryBook Dining at the Castle Akershus in Norway. We wanted a nice sit-down meal in one of the countries and figured we had never had Norweigian food before and it was a castle and there were princesses!!! We had already seen most of the other characters so we figured we'd meet the girls. The boys really didn't care but David thought it was pretty cool. Daddy liked Ariel. :P The food was pretty yummy too! I wonder if Jasmine uses a self tanner....
We spent the afternoon, after lunch bumming around the countries and collecting pressed pennies for Big D's book. He also got an autograph book full of character autographs that he can put pictures in too!
France had the OH MY HECK best pastries evah! I had been waiting for that!!!!! Napoleon. YUM. YUUUM. The hubs was peeved I didn't get him a creme brulee, that's why he's making a face in the France pic. Spoiled boy. :D
I loved the little villages and Hummels in Germany also. Thought of mom.
OH! And Davy JONES!!!! Was playing a concert there!!!!! We didn't bother taking the boys in, but it was so fun to hear him singing as we walked around the park!!! Memories.
That night we stayed for the fireworks, which were pretty cool. The boys enjoyed it and it was a GREAT day!!
Our resort was SO nice!!!!! Quiet and very kid friendly. We spent every night after we got back in the hot tub. We never got to use the rockin' pool though, even though it was heated, it was still a bit too cold for my fair weather family!!!
Oh! And that pic of Big D in Mexico. Dang funny. Had everyone around, even the Mexicans laughing. He must have seen that somewhere before! :D

Epcot Day One!
Here's pics from Epcot Day One!
We weren't very well prepared for this day. And I had a blister so I was grumpy. :P
We made it through about half of the place but everyone knows, EPCOT stands for Every Person Comes Out Tired. It's HUGE!!!
But... we rode Soarin' which was AWESOME! (Look it up), and did the UK and Canada. We got to see all the beautiful flowers and topiaries for their Flower Festival! The Nemo ride was awesome too! Ike especially enjoyed meeting Pooh Bear in the UK!!
All in all, a good day but we were all tired and grumpy. Home early that night.

Magic Kingdom Day Two!!!!
Happy Birthday, Granni! We spent the day in your honor at the Magic Kingdom! We started the day in Tomorrowland. The first thing we rode was the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin! The boys LOVED it!!!!! You shoot Zurg while riding through Toy Story Space. SO COOL!
We also rode the Speedway. I made the mistake of letting Ike drive and had the whiplash to show for it.
We got to meet up with my awesome friend Sandie, a fellow HP fangirl!!!
About two years ago, I ordered a Disney vacation planner DVD. The boys have watched it over and over and knew what to expect and what rides there were, which was helpful. And I had bought a book and asked some friends and so we were prepared. Ike knew he wanted to ride the "train that goes fast in the mountain". I was skeptical. Big D was determined not to ride it!!! But we got up to it, and I told Ike to come on so we could ride and he went right along with it. I knew it was gonna be scary. The kid's not even been on a kiddie rollercoaster! But he knew he wanted to so he climbed right on! I had the lap bar pulled down SO tight cause he's so small, and I still had to hold onto him tight!!! The Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is not known for being a smooth ride. He spent the whole ride saying, "Wheeeeeeeeeeeee-AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" It was hilarious and I could not stop laughing through the whole ride! I knew Granni was loving that on her birthday!!!!!
So, not one to be shown up, Big D rode it with Daddy. :D
We were exhausted by nightfall!!
