Disney World Friday & Saturday

Here it is, the final Disney World Blog.
Friday we decided that the kids would have more fun if we went back to the Magic Kingdom. So many of the kids were sick on Wednesday we figured we go back so they could really enjoy the park. We were finally able to get a picture with our whole group in front of the castle.

We spent the morning going on lots of rides. Because I was feeling pretty horrible on Wednesday, I didn't get a chance to go on the tea cups. I went with my good tea cup friends Mark, Tommy, and Spencer. I didn't get a picture of us spinning like crazy. Devin and Anna had fun, so did Peter and Emily and their kids.

Anna was too small to go on the Tomorrowland Speedway, so we went on the Winnie the Pooh ride, talked with the White Rabbit and then had a blast playing in Pooh's Playful Spot.

She loved the Winnie the Pooh play area, it was like pulling teeth to get her to leave. She could have stayed there all day and played. You can see from her face how happy she was.

We joined up with everyone else and went on Winnie the Pooh ride and then took a ride on Dumbo. It is a good thing they have an elephant that is not part of the ride that the kids can just climb all over. We got some great pictures.

We went on Mickey's PhilharMagic next, which the kids love.

We went on a whole bunch more rides and had a great time.
After that Devin, Anna, and I had to go so we could go pick up our race packets. We decided to eat lunch before we left the park. Anna conveniently fell asleep as we walked over to Tony's Restaurant. We were able to sit in a booth so Anna had a nice soft bench to sleep on. She slept all through lunch, which was a real treat for Devin and I. We did wake her up so she could eat something before we left. We then took a ride on the monorail to go get our race packets.
It was crazy! There were so many people. It was fun being around so many runners. It just made us so excited to run the race...who cares if it was going to be FREEZING!
After picking up our race packets we went back to our hotel, ate dinner, and then went over to Downtown Disney to do a bit of shopping. We then went back to our hotel so we could get some sleep before having to wake up at 3am or so.
We ran the race the next morning, which I've already blogged about. It was fun and very cold, and I'd do it again anytime.

After we were done with the race we showered really quick and finished packing everything and then checked our luggage as fast as we could so we could catch up with my brothers and their families at Animal Kingdom. We were able to meet up with them and WALK right on to Expedition Everest. This is hands down one of the best rides I've ever been on. It was a blast, even though it was raining on us the whole time. Then some of the taller kids went on the Dinosaur ride. We ate lunch and then hustled back to the hotel so we could catch our bus to go to the airport.
After making it through airport security, which was much easier than going through Salt Lake's security, we all camped out for a while until our flight was ready to go. There weren't enough chairs for us to all sit on so we just camped out on the floor.

We let the kids take pictures we our disposable camera that we got for the race. They would get frustrated because they wanted to see the picture right after they took it. Funny how spoiled we've all become. They took some pretty good pictures.

The plane ride home was not as easy as the ride out. We were really glad that we had brought toys for Anna to play with. She did great, just wanted to move around and play and touch everything. My favorite part of the flight was during take off and landing. She would just cuddle up and look out the window a bit, didn't make a peep. I think she might have been a bit scared, but then again she might have just been enjoying it. I guess we'll never know.
And that is the end of my blogging about Disney World 2010. Thanks mom for making this great trip possible!!! I am so thankful that I have such a fun family that loves to go to such a fun place. I can't wait until we do it again.
