The happiest place on earth...

really is Disney World. At least when Seth in driving the race cars, we are talking squeals of delight. But interestingly enough, the happiest place on earth moves to the swimming pool when Seth is there. It, the happiest place on earth, generally follows Seth around and is currently in my front room. He is delightful. Eric has to unfold himself out these crazy contraptions...and airplane seats.


Isaac likes to relay the story about his ride with Eric. "My daddy said, 'HEY! Who's driving this crazy car?' (chuckle chuckle) And I said it was me!"

Eric took our family to Disney World for my birthday. And he didn't just buy everyone shirts before we left, along with a few tickets and then call it quits. No. No. No. He carried Seth around three parks...for three days, cleaned Isaac up when he had a major accident and then Seth when he had a major accident, and he packed the bags before we came home while I slept. I am telling you the man is a total STUD. I was brilliant for marrying him.

At Pizza Planet we found a little $ oasis. $5 for a kids meal: a tiny personal pizza, your choice of carrots or apple sauce, a cookie, and a healthy drink. AND the Caprici Salad was the best thing I ate in FL. We ate at a buffet the day before and I am embarrassed to say how much it cost. Ew. And we spent Isaac's whole college fund on water.


Here's my studly knight carrying our charges.


When Isaac saw this storm trooper picture he asked, "Is that a Storm Farmer?" Uhhhhh....close.

He also calls them Storm Supers.

DANGER: Energy level falling. I was tired. And I am pregnant. Our baby is due Thanksgiving.
The Mickey hat has an annoying elastic that is meant to go under one's chin. Seth liked the hat...sort of...I mean he chose it himself...but that elastic....


And here is Seth sporting the glasses from Isaac's favorite ride. "Andy's Room" is what we call the Toy Story Mania attraction.


Zurg! And my two favorite boys on the planet.

"To infinity and beyond!" That's how far we walked.

It was great. Thanks Eric for the best present ever. We'll be back.
Other observations to remember:
The line for the Dumbo ride is far to long.
Isaac and Seth are funny together. Like when Isaac kept repeating the line from Cars,"Hey Tiny, you gotta clean these tires up." And then Seth would say to his daddy, "Hey Tiny." Made me laugh every time.
Favorite rides: E=Kilimanjaro Safari, J=It's a Small World or Peter Pan,
Isaac=Toy Story Mania or Barnstormer, Seth=Race Cars
Sometimes PowerAde IS better than water
There is a LOT of sulfur in the water in and around Disney World.
