The Happiest Place on Earth! Part One

Well here we go...Just got back from soccer practice and scarfed down some multi grain tortilla chips and salsa and I am ready to start posting some Disney pictures...
Day one.. Up early, shuttle to the park and opened it up... Three words.."what a BLAST"! We won Fast passes right at the castle and realized what a treat that was... Even though it was summer the lines were really not too bad. without Fast passes i think the longest wait was 1/2 hour...One thing I need to say right off the bat is we are so glad we waited to this year to go Tanner at 12.. (still a kid, but not quite a teen and still loves being with us most of the time that is.... Jake 7 years 48 inches tall and not a scared bone in his body.. We went on everything and I mean everything.. It's a small world was closed but that doesn't count.. I am talking the thrill rides... It was sooooooo fun.. when it comes to rides I'm a kid in heaven...Dax's Favorite "Soaring Calf we went on 5 times" My Fave "Tower of Terror 3 times"(I got the face making thing for the camera down..... Tanner's the shoot you straight up ride (can't remember the name, went on 4 times and Jake's was Calf. Screaming, went on four times.. He's still talking about it today even....He also loved the swing ride with making the bee noises, went on 8 times...
We closed our first day at closing time and enjoyed the fireworks show( which are on disc.2).......

Saying we had fun is an understatement...No major melt downs or Drama, we didn't eat enough or sleep enough, walked all day. but it was the time of our lives, great way to spend summer.. here's some pics to start you all out...This is from disc 1 out of 5 disc. so just a few favorites I'll post/write more later enjoy!!!

I'd be a liar if i said they always got along.. But for brothers being so far apart in age they do pretty darn good... Tanner has patience as much as a preteen would have and Jakie just wants to do every thing his big bro does... There's times like yesterday i looked out my laundry window and saw Tanner teaching Jake some juggling moves in soccer, a while later they are playing badminton, or the other day Jake wanted to skateboard around the block and when Tanner realized what he wanted to do he made a shield around him as we walked... right now however Jake just told Tanner to SHUT-UP..So i am on my way upstairs...... have a good night... i think Disney part 1 is next......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKIE

So another one of our daily routines besides going to the gym each morning. (which Tanner loved) and I wish i could of take pictures of this Club. It was super nice and super nice people. (The Mgr. said if we move here i can work for them) Was Swimming, on the days we didn't wan tto just sit at the pool we went to this water park which had slides, a lazy river and diving boards, they also had this great little kid area to play in... Something i would love our town here to get. It was only 20.00 a time for the three of us and a great way to spend the day.....
