Instead of a traditional Thanksgiving celebration this year, Tim and I decided to take the children to Disney World as a surprise. My parents graciously accompanied us on this trip, and we were so happy to have them along. This is the second time our children have been to Disney, but the first time was three years ago, so the only child who even remotely remembered it was Connor. The parks were packed with people because of the holidays, but we still had a blast. We managed to hit almost all the rides and attractions when there was no wait or we had fast passes. We spent nearly 12 hours a day at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and then Magic Kingdom again–three solid days of walking. It was exhausting, especially for this pregnant mama. I sort of wish I had taken pictures of my feet when I finally took off my sneakers at 10PM at the hotel, but that’s probably more information than you want. Connor walked the entire time and was a trooper. I was so proud of him for his attitude and stamina. Lucy and Tyler tired out more easily and rode around most of the time in strollers, but everyone really kept good attitudes for the most part. And the weather was gorgeous! I am so glad we were able to squeeze in this vacation before baby #4 arrives. It was a really special time with the children and my parents. Sorry for all the pics–it was so hard to choose which ones to post. There are also a a couple of videos. If you only choose one to watch, I recommend the turkey leg eating one. 🙂
