Disney Magic

After enduring several weeks of one of the coldest Minnesota winters on record, the troops were more than ready for a getaway to the "happiest place on earth."  

Although the week was filled with temps ranging 45-80 and some rainy, total wash-out days, there weren't too many complaints from our crew as our weather back home reached wind chills of -40, with two days of school being canceled.

This vacation was full of several special moments. Our girls loved the brand new attraction at Disney World where they were able to interact with Belle in her home. Even though it's blurry, we love the expression on Ellie's face in this shot.

Kyler loved interacting with all the new Cars' attractions, but his favorite may have been jumping aboard a Star Wars hoverbike. 

At one point the line to visit Anna and Elsa reached five hours!! No joke. But, we decided to get in line in a total downpour at the very end of the day and only ended up waiting an hour. This put a new meaning to 'Frozen', yet even being drenched we knew we still were in a warmer place than Minnesota. My mom joined us on our trip, and devoted Grandma did most of the waiting in the rain.

Ninja stance!!

I'm not exactly sure what's going on with this picture!

We were fortunate to not only have my mom join us, but my sister Lauren joined us for part of our trip. Lauren wasn't too excited about the weather, but we were sure excited to have her with us!

This little pirate loved watching the Jack Sparrow show, even though Mr. Extrovert was too shy to go up on stage!

Argh!!!

Hit it! Even though he had her do it right handed! Haha!

Such a cute crew!

I love my mama! She's so beautiful inside and out!

This is the first time we've been to Disney that we've actually stayed after dark!

It's fun having our kids be a little older where we all can enjoy things -- like Big Thunder Mountain!
