Day 1 Animal Kingdom

We started off our Disney trip with Animal Kingdom. What a great park. Rides, animals, everything a kid could hope for.

Ready to hit the park!

A short tram ride into the parks and we were off.

We love Granny.

Right when we got inside we saw Lilo and Stitch!

We REALLY liked them.

After a few photos and autographs...

We caught the Lion King show. It was VERY good.

Next it was time for our very first ride- the Safari Ride! We used our fast pass and had zero wait. Maxer rode with Pop.

I rode with Granny!

We saw lot of animals. Look at these hippos.

But the coolest part was seeing these giraffes. They got so close to the safari car. They were blocking the road so we had to wait for them.

See the giraffe right behind Granny and Max?

I think Mason liked the giraffes too.

We saw this cool family of elephants.

and check out these lions!

After the safari, it was time for the triceritop spin.

I got to ride in the back and make the dinosaur go up and down.

Then Mommy had a turn riding with us.

after that it was time to head to the bone yard.

The bone yard is this cool maze of slides and ropes that you can play on.

Wee....

Mason liked it because he could roam free. He had on shoes for about 5 seconds today until he ripped them off.

Exploring the bone yard.

Look at this slide! Yes, I went on it.

Mason making friends with a cast member.

And more climbing...

Then it was time for Finding Nemo the musical.

I loved the bubbles.

Maxer chose this as his nap time.

We headed to the Kali River Rapids to cool off in the late afternoon. Here's Mason chilling with Pop.

Here we come!

Granny stayed the dryest, I got wet, but this guy beside me (in red) got SOAKED! I chose my seat wisely.

We caught a glimpse of the Mickey's Jamboree Parade.

Then we capped off a great day with "It's Tough To Be A Bug." Surprisingly, this one scared me a bit. I did NOT like the grasshopper!

All in all, it was a terrific day. Stay tuned, tomorrow we head to Magic Kingdom. I hear we have a bit of a pirate surprise tomorrow!

Disney- The Adventure Begins

We left Friday afternoon for Disney World (finally!). We have been planning this trip for over a year, and we were SO excited it was finally here. We drove to Disney World from our house in Texas. Mommy and Daddy planned it so that we left in the afternoon and drove a lot the first night while us kiddos were sleeping.

So...off we go!

Do we look ready? The trip didn't seem that long because we watched lots of movies.

And when we needed a car break, we stopped at a fun place to eat and run around.

After two days of travel (really a day and a half) we made it here. We are staying at the Wyndham Bonnet Creek. It's great. It is inside Disney World so we are about 5 minutes away from every park.

Here's our room! Mommy took some pictures to show family, so I'll share a "tour de our room" with you (skip down if you're already bored) :)

This is the great room, living, dining, kitchen area.

I think the ceiling is cool.

Kitchen

Here's Mommy and Daddy's room. The condo has two master bedrooms so Granny and Pop's room looks just like this one, but it's on the other side of the condo.

And they both have these great tubs. Maxer and I like to take our bath in this tub because we can "swim."

They also have a shower, but what fun is that?

This is our room (Mine and Max's). Mason's room looks just like this, but he wakes up too early so no one wants to share his room :)

This is the extra bathroom. There's a 4th bathroom that Mommy didn't get a picture of. It has a regular sized bath tub so she can bathe Mason and not have to climb in the big tub with him.

This is one of the best in room features when traveling with all of us messy boys!

but THIS is all of our favorite part. This is the view from our balcony. And each night, we get to watch the Epcot and Magic Kingdom fireworks right here! It's awesome.

Here's half of our balcony.

And the other half.

Okay enough of a room tour. Lets go explore outside!

This hotel has 5 great pools and this playground! (It even has a splash pad. We aren't going to want to leave the resort).

Check out this giant chess board.

Mason relaxing while we tour the grounds.

We took "swims" in the big bath tub then it was ready to go to sleep so that tomorrow we could go "to infinity and beyond!!!"

But before bed time, we had to have one Mitchell Men dog pile.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's post about...

Preparing For The Happiest Place On Earth...and a little announcement

We are less than threes weeks away from our first trip to Disney World. We are BEYOND excited. :) We have been getting things in the mail for the trip, and they have gotten us even more excited. Today we got something really fun, these:

Aren't they great? We each have one. And if you look closely...there's one more. Turns out I'm going to be a big brother again. Yay!

Sunday Snapshot

Mommy said she had to snap our picture this morning before church because we looked so handsome. Enjoy!

First Day of Pre-K

Well, it's Maxer's first day anyway. This is my second year at pre-school. I'm pretty excited to have Ms. Pam this year. Max has Ms. Kelli. How do we look?

Here's to another great year of preschool!

Sprayground

There's a great spray ground play area near us, and our friend, Ryn, had her birthday party there today. It was a great way to party and stay cool!

I love the water gun.

Maxer likes to stand on the water spouts.

The dry pro cast cover worked great again!


Here I am playing with the birthday girl.

It was a great time!

Spending Time With Granny & Pop

We spent last week with Granny & Pop. It was a fun week.

Here we are at the half way point switching from Mommy's car to Granny's car. Let the fun begin!

After our fun time with Granny and Pop, Mommy, Daddy and Mason met us in Port O'Connor for a long weekend. We got to have pic-nics in the living room on our trays.

Mason missed us. He was full of hugs when he got to POC.

we had a pic-nic on the patio.

Mason found the sidewalk chalk.

We went to Sunday Beach and played in the water. Mommy found this great cast protector for Max to wear. He could play in the water, and his cast stays dry!

Headed to the surf to ride the waves.

Daddy and Maxer looking for sand dollars.

We spent Sunday night at Granny & Pop's before we headed home Monday. I am swimming like a fish these days. Mommy and Daddy are so proud. I love to have Pop throw me across the pool.

What a great week! We were all sad to leave, but we will see Granny & Pop in less than a month at Disney World!!!!!

The Family's First Cast

And the award goes to... come on, take a guess....

Maxer of course! He got this cool blue cast while we were staying at Granny & Pop's house.

Then the bone doctor here took off his cast to take pictures. He picked out a camo cast. So cool.
