Mickey's house

Just one more post to catch up and then I can get to Easter.

We had been trying to take the kids to Disney all winter and either illness, weather or work managed to interfere. Our chance finally came at the end of March, Larry and I decided to make it a surprise and didn't tell the kids where we were going that day. After a leisurely breakfast at "The Barrel", that's code for Cracker Barrel at our house, off we went. We knew going in that Josh would be very excited at every sight he saw and was. Benjamin would take some convincing. If we lived close to Lego land this would not be an issue. But for some reason my oldest son thinks that unless tractors or some type of construction equipment is involved, it's boring. I am so glad the monorail was his first encounter otherwise it would have been downhill from there. We sat up front with the driver and "the magic" began.

I was expecting to do the "cheerio dance" with Grace all day. You know whipping out snacks and toys to distract her. Instead she was so content to be in her stroller all day and watch everything around her. She even took a long nap! It was endearing going on the rides with my kids that I had enjoyed at their age, definitely a full circle moment.

I love this post...maybe my favorite! The pictures are just so great. Also, I love disney, so maybe the thought of how much fun you guys had is what made me smile the whole time while reading.
Did you take Benj on Thunder Mountain Railroad? It's the not so scarey roller coaster.
Our families should go together one day. We would have a big time!
