DISNEY! {part one}

We are breezing through our summer list!   Last week, we were fortunate enough to fly to Disney for 6 days!   We had a blast.   It was hot, but easy for us to stay cool as we stayed at the Beach Club which just so happens to have the coolest water slide of all the Disney resort!  Its a pirate slide and its a SERIOUS water slide.   Double L must have went down a hundred times.   He could not get enough.   So on really hot days and when we just could not take a moment more of running around in the heat -- we had a refreshing and fabulous time in the sand bottom pool!   LL loved Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom.  And our character breakfast was a hit with everyone except little l.   She definitely did not like the characters and how do I put it -- well, just flat out SCREAMED every time one came to our table.   We had a glimmer of hope when Minnie played peek-a-boo with her.   She literally stared at her straight faced and than Donald came up and ruined it all.   Oh well, maybe next time she will give them endearing hugs like LL did.   It was so sweet.

Here are some pictures from the first part of our trip:

Our flight: Little L's first plane ride!  She received wings and a certificate!  I love her "not impressed" look below.  Double L has flown a couple times before, but never met the pilots and checked out the cockpit.   This time, he was able to and LOVED it!  Those pilots made LL's day.  My mom (Gigi) and my brother flew down with us.  My stepdad joined us a day later.   Gigi loved rocking little l to sleep on the plane.   Um, so did I!!!

Animal Kingdom: It was so HOT and crowded that we only went on a few rides.   But we made it to Dinoland and LL was amazed with all the cool Dinosaur statues and ride.   The "Dinosaur" ride was a huge hit.  I thought it was scary, but LL had a blast!
