On the bus to our resort. First stop, Animal Kingdom Villas. (Yes, C's Bitty Baby had to come with us ;) We gave C that baby when we were in China getting D since then she's been on several vacations with us. )
Here are the kiddos C, D, J & J (their whole family is J's) watching TV while the parents check in.
The view from our room at Bay Lake Towers.
We spent the afternoon at the pool and C won a hula hoop contest
Here she is with the prize she choose. The BIGGEST box there was. It took some creative packing getting that home with all the other souveniers.
The gang in the pool
Fun on the water slide
C & D by the pool getting ready for another pool game
D doing the pony races at the Whispering Canyon Cafe atFort Wilderness Lodge. She was the only one of our 4 that would do it.
The girls at Animal Kingdom

Meeting Pochahontas
The crew with Goofy and Pluto at Animal Kingdom

D and J waiting to ride, what else, the "hippo ride" we still aren't certain why D called it that but she certainly was having no part in calling it the Dinosaur ride.
Mommy and D on the hippo ride
Our family A, B, C, D ( I guess we all have a naming theme ;) ) by the Tree of life
What else do you do after a long, HOT (did I mention they were having record high temps in Florida for Oct.? They were having Aug. temps ~ meanwhile it snowed in MN while we ewre away and A's family flights got delayed because of it!) day at the park? Have ice cream, of course!
At the top of the building we were staying in the had a viewing room to watch the fireworks over the Magic Kingdom. This is a picture of the castle taken from the top of our building.
The kids waiting for the fireworks to start


Ohhhh, Ahhhhh. It was awesome to see the fireworks from up there! We were even able to clearly see Tinkerbell fly down from the top of the castle! And another great thing, we got to get on an elevator and go to our rooms instead of fighting the crowd to get out of the parks. (not that everyone should experience that as it is part of the whole Disney experience but we've been there done that and I was thankful to not have to on this trip.)
Riding the monorail, a ride in itself :)
D and her Auntie J. Like I said, D was attached :)
The gang waiting for the Toy Story Mania ride at Hollywood Studios.

The girls ready to dance the night away at Mickey's Backyard BBQ. We had a GREAT time there!
Dinner with Cinderella

Our little Cinderellas :)
Waiting patiently...
to meet Prince Charming


Ok, I just realized that I didn't post a photo of Cinderella with the girls! Dang...

The girls and their very own Prince Charming :) Look at D, striking a pose ;) She's got the princess thing down!
The kiddos at the end of the day. Snuggled in resting, watching movies with popcorn. Does it get any better than this!?

Here are the girls meeting Tinkerbell. We waited 60 min. get into "Pixie Hollow" to meet Tinkerbell and her fairy friends... this was the longest line we had while we were there but it was worth it! The fairies really interacted with the kids and the kids LOVED it!
Lots of memories made...
