Disney World 2011...

Last week we went to DISNEY WORLD!!! We went with David's entire family (just about). His mom and dad, aunt and both sisters and their families. So much fun was had and many great memories were made. The best way to share all of these fun times is to recap below the pictures. Enjoy our journey...

Nico and Emma at the timeshare discussing what they think Disney World is like.

The first night in Orlando, we ate dinner at T-Rex (a dino-themed restaurant). Yummy, but loud. The kids (and kids at heart) enjoyed it for the most part.

Sticker Girl! I'm not sure what this guy's job was at Downtown Disney (worked at the information desk???), but the kids had a great time covering themselves and each other with stickers. Thanks to Nico and Robbie, Emma definitely had the most, which is how she earned the nickname.

Eli, Nico and Woody (made entirely of Legos).

This picture cracks me up. I just had to include it :)

The Monger Family with Mickey Mouse.

Nico and his favorite, Pluto.

Nico and his $10 gelato sundae at Epcot. The adults had "beverages", the kids got ice cream. Fun times!

The Monger's and the "giant gold ball".

Surprise! You're in the picture Paige!!! You tried hard not to be though...or maybe I just stunk:) This was Nico's favorite ride: The Monorail. We could have paid $14 to park and just rode the monorail back and forth!?

Peter Pan trick-or-treating at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.

David and Nico's best impression of Peter Pan. Yes, David has on the hat.

This was were Nico sat most of the trip. This was at the fireworks show at Magic Kingdom.

If you know Nico, you know he doesn't sleep in. This was after our first full day at the parks. We had to practically drag him out of bed. David joked that Nico turned into a teenager on the trip!

Lindsey and Nico at The World of Dr. Seuss at Islands of Adventure.

Day 1 of non-stop rainfall. We were so optimistic that it was just a shower and that it would pass over within the hour.

NOPE. We thoughtfully put Nico in his swimsuit for the day thinking that it would quickly dry when the rain stopped and he wouldn't have to walk around in wet clothes. By the time we got to the first stop in the park he was shivering with blue lips. We quickly purchased a beach towel (reasonably priced at only $20!) to wrap him in.

This was in line at the Toy Story ride. 60 minutes waiting wouldn't have been so pleasurable had it not been raining cats and dogs outside. Better to be in here versus out there.

Day 2 of non-stop rainfall. At this point people had nothing to do but laugh. The hard rain and gusty winds made it seem ridiculous for people get out in it. When we got off the monorail water was pooling at the bottom of the exit ramp. Pooling probably isn't the best word since it had a strong current! We were a little more mentally prepared this time (we knew it would rain all day). We also purchased ponchos since our rain jackets were water-logged in the first 20 minutes the day before. This was definitely the better route.

Nico in his cute poncho.

Of course on the day where we think we'll be battling rain all day, the sun comes out. I'm not complaining...just sayin'. Here's my sweet boy on the carousel in the sunshine!

I'm pretty sure David told Nico to "look at mommy" as to demonstrate how to lean in for the picture. I love it all the more!

Well, that was our trip in a nutshell. Hope you enjoyed it!
