A few pictures from Disney World...

There is just no way to post all of the Disney pictures! We have a million I think...well, maybe around 500, but thats still a LOT! So, here are just a few. Maybe I can figure out how to do a collage and get more pics on here. If you want to see more, of course I can send you our snapfish album that has them all, but really, that's a bit much!

We had a WONDERFUL time and can't even begin to write about all that we did. If you are planning a trip to Disney I can give you lots of tips! Sarah did a great job of planning out our trip so that we could use our time wisely...and we really did...we rode TONS of rides and hardly ever waited in lines. It was an amazing family vacation and we really made so many great memories. We thought of Dad often and Sarah, Mom and I reminisced on the 2 family trips we took to Disney World when we were kids. And especially on Dad's birthday as we enjoyed Magic Kingdom for our last day. Buddy and I already plan to go back in 5 years to take Whit and Baby Turpin#2!

Meeting the real Buzz Lightyear and Woody!! (they look fake, but I promise they were real!)
Meeting Eeyore!

Meeting Lightening McQueen & Mater!


I had to get a picture of this...Dad gave Whit the Hop on Pop book and a t-shirt.



Waiting on Its A Small World Ride...and sporting a Goofy hat, another favorite of my first visit to Disney when I was 5 years old!





Meeting Mickey Mouse in Animal Kingdom
Epcot

Magic Kingdom


The funny thing about this picture is that we have pictures of me and Sarah doing this same thing from our two trips to Disney as kids!! Mom and I pulled those pictures out today and loved seeing them. When we saw this Sarah and I immediately went up and said we had to have our picture made in these!!

We're Leaving On A Jet Plane...

And I can't wait!!! Our ride will be here in about 30 minutes to take us to the airport...we've packed and weighed our suitcases (had to take all my bathroom stuff out of my cute case, it just weighed too much! didn't want to sacrifice shoes or clothes) and we are ready to go. I have way too many snacks i'm sure but I want to be prepared and I would rather have too much than not enough. Whit has a few new travel friendly toys to keep him entertained, although i'm hoping the plane ride will be exciting enough for him that we don't have to use all the toys...but just in case!

We have our Disney trip pretty planned out...we know what parks we're going to on which days (planned b/c of the extra park hours schedule). We have some meals planned b/c of needing reservations but others will be whenever we're hungry we'll just find a quick service restaurant. I highly recommend the Traveling to Disney with Kids books...they gave us TONS of tips and Sarah even made us a guide based on what they said that is geared to our group...so, we know what will be good for Whit and what will be for Sarah and Nate and Buddy to ride...I won't be able to ride some attractions b/c I'm 12 weeks pregnant!! I think most everybody knows by now, but I guess this is the first time I've posted anything about it! So I am a little bummed that I will miss some of the big stuff, but Whit couldn't ride those anyway, so I guess I will just get to experience those with Whit when we come back when he's older!!

So, I will have TONS of pictures to post when we get back plus lots and lots of laundry and unpacking to do, but i promise i'll post pictures!
Now to run through the house for last minute stuff!!
