Did You Miss Me?

I'm back!! Sorry for the extremely long blogging hiatus... I finally got an internet connection in May but we have been very busy and I think I just got out of the habit of blogging. After much thought, I am just going to pick up where I left off blogging since I primarily use this blog as a "scrapbook" of memories for our family. I know a few years from now, I will want to be able to look back and see everything in chronological order, so I guess you will have to stay tuned to see what all has been happening in our lives over the past 3 months. I hope you don't get bored... please bear with me!

Picking back up with Disney....

We went back to the Magic Kingdom on Saturday and it was finally a beautiful (not rainy) day. These pictures are backwards, but oh well.

Classic Ava smirk

Noah took this picture of us after the fireworks in front of Cinderella's castle

After a very long day at Disney (I think we went back to the hotel this day as well and took a nap- otherwise the kids would have never made it this late- 11pm)

I know this is a poor quality pic, but it captures how excited Ava was during the fantastic Spectromagic Parade

Noah excited to be riding the train... there was an exact replica of this face when we finally rode the monorail- he loved it!

Pretend shooting on Tom Sawyer's Island

Funny story from this day... After the Spectromagic parade and the fireworks, we walked over to Space Mountain since we had not had the chance to ride it earlier in the day. There was a very long line outside and apparently the ride was broken or something and they did not know when it would reopen. Nathan and Noah waited around for awhile since Noah really wanted to ride it. Honestly I thought it was a lost cause, but after awhile they finally started letting everyone through and the line really moved fast. We used the Rider Switch pass so Nathan and I took turns and Noah got to ride it twice! I remember riding Space Mountain with my dad when I was 6 years old. I had no idea it was a roller coaster and I screamed the whole time- I remember it all... so I was glad Noah got to ride it about the same age that I did for the first time.
