Awwww Amy that photos so cute, so did he not mind at all that he'd decided not to go?

I think he does sometimes. Rachel talks about it daily and I have noticed him looking sad a few times. I promised that next time will be a REAL family vacation. I still think we made the right decision-he is having some trouble in school so I am glad he didn't miss.

Your kids are cutie pies!!!

I am dreading telling my middle schooler that he won't be going in January. It should be lots of fun. NOT! I am just going to have to remind him of all the things he has gotten to do that little sister hasn't. We'll see how it goes.

It doesn't get any easier....lol... When Mom and I decided to go, we had to inform my older brother. She felt guilty so gave him an option to go, but in the end he decided he couldn't aford to go. The good thing is, since he couldn't go this year, we are planning on going back next year. *The first trip was to be a one shot deal.... but I caught Disney fever!!!*

I actually didn't tell him he couldn't go-he decided on his own.
But the boys go on a fishing trip every year that the girls aren't invited to and I take the girls on trips without the boys.I am sure he will be fine.

January will be my fourth trip since my "once in a lifetime" trip. Disney fever is very contagious!

I may have an update later tonight....I have to go type a two page essay for Tyler....and I type really slow....

End of Magic Kingdom evening

I really wanted to leave after Toontown but the kids begged to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad first. I agreed as long as the wait wasn’t too long. We walked over to it and the wait was listed as 40 minutes but the CM said it wasn’t going to take that long.

The wait ended up being about 27 minutes and they were great the whole time. They talked to people in the line and looked through the pictures on the camera.

One thing is true-BTMR is a blast at night!

We got off the ride and headed toward the exit and I realized that Spectromagic had started. I thought if we could make our way out of the park while it was happening the lines at the bus would be shorter. That meant making our way through the crowds on the sidewalks. Without a stroller. By myself with three kids. This was my first nervous moment of the trip. Rachel was saying she wanted to see the parade so I put her on my shoulders and had Peyton and Rebekah hold onto my Baggallini.I forged through the people occasionally going through stores when I needed to. At one point I stopped to take pictures while Rae yelled to the princesses on the floats.

We made it out of the park without losing anyone and walked to the busstop. There were quite a few people in line but we made it onto the second bus. It was 10:25pm by the time we got back to the room and the kids took turns taking showers. I wrote a few notes for my report and got everything ready for the next day. I took my shower and they were sound asleep by the time I finished.

Oh I almost forgot. GM was asleep but I got an update on her from GP when I returned to the room. Her foot seemed to feel a lot better after some rest but he thought they would be taking a trip to the hospital for xrays in the morning. That is if he could convince her to go.

Would GM go to the hospital??

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEYTON!

I knew you'd be a sucka and take your kiddos on BTMR! Who wouldn't? Only a mean mom wouldn't! But those pictures are totally cute of the kids on it!

I hope GM's ankle doesn't affect your trip any more.....
