Florida 2011-Days 4-6 Disney World

I'm finally getting around to posting the rest of our Florida trip. We had a blast when we went to disney world! It's so fun seeing the excitment of the boys! One of Will's favorite rides was the Buzz Lightyear one. At the end was Zerg and of course we had to take a pic.Dad and the boys with zerg.
Will was so excited to get his picture taken with Woody and Jessie. Josh was a little more hesitant.
Goofy was another must to take a picture with.
The fam.
Waiting in the line for dumbo was so hot! But Will LOVED the ride! He wanted to stay high the entire time and not go down.
Flying around.
Cute little Will.
Will trying to get the sword out, but finally gave up and we got this cute pic.
Going to dinner at the Grand Floridian.
By the end of the day, Will was exhausted and we had to wake him up for dinner.
Cinderella was one of the characters that came to visit us while we were eating.
The fam at animal kingdom.
The cute boys getting ready to watch It's tough to be a bug. Will liked it, but Josh got kinda nervous watching it.

Two handsome hunks.
Mary and Will checking out some animals.
Saying hi to Mickey! Will was also really excited to see him! After this, we went to the Lion King show and BOTH boys promptly went to sleep. Randy and I ended up carrying out two sleeping boys.

Will didn't know who these guys were, but still thought they were cool.

Will thought the Mad Hatter was hilarious especially since he stuck out his tongue for the picture.
Will and mom just chillin.
The morning before we headed home, we did the Disney Princess 5k. Yes, I did my first 5k ever with no training and being about 16 weeks pregnant. Will told me I was going to slow so Dad (who was pushing the double stroller along), went faster with the boys and at the end, Will was able to get out of the stroller and cross the finish line with dad. It was so cute cause that is all Will wanted to do--cross the finish line!
What a great trip=great memories!

Florida 2011-Day 2 & 3: Seaworld

As a little girl I always loved going to Seaworld and Randy loves it too so we decided we wanted to take our kids there. It was a very memorable experience.

Will was our navigator and we never got lost ;). Here he is trying to figure out where we should go next.
They had a ride area for kids and Will loved it!
Every afternoon you could count on finding Josh like this. I like how his mouth is open in this picture.
What a handsome couple!
After the Shamu show, Will was really tired so Mary was nice enough to carry him around for a while.
Then Will proceeded to try and scare all the seagulls away. This one wasn't very scared but finally he flew away.
There was an area where you could touch and feed sting rays. The boys were fearless and could have stayed there for hours! Look at how far in Will's arm is!
The sting rays would come right up to you...especially if you had food to feed them. There is a fish in my hand.
I was kinda squirmish about the whole thing.
The second day there we fed dolphins and if you ask Will what his favorite thing was in Florida, he will say feeding the dolphins. It was so fun to feed and touch them!
They would come right up to you.
Will being his fearless self.
Come get the fishy!
It was so much fun!
Waiting for the dolphin show to start. This was by far my favorite show there.
Will being his silly self.
Josh being a cool dude.

Florida 2011-Day 1: Gatorland

We recently got back from Florida and had a great time! On the first day we went to a place that's silly, but I love it. It's Gatorland. They literally have hundreds of alligators and other animals. The boys had a great time too!

In order to enter Gatorland, you have to walk through a gator's mouth. The boys liked climbing around on it.
They had a baby alligator and snake that you could hold. We had been talking to Will about doing this so he was all excited. I thought Josh probably wouldn't want to touch it, but I couldn't have been more wrong. When he saw the lady coming towards him with the alligator, he was reaching for it and then once he was holding it, he was petting it, pinching it, and whatever else a 20 month old does. Lets just say that alligator had to put up a lot with Josh and it was a good thing it's mouth was taped shut!
The fam walking through the swamp.
There was a place where you could feed birds and Will had a blast! He had them crawling all over him. I know this one is a little blurry, but I think it's still cute.
Will enjoying the birds.
I think he would have stayed in here for hours had we let him.
Will hanging out with "Cuddles." It was a fake snake, but Will still loved him.

All the grandkids together.
