Walt Disney World - Part Three

Day Two!

We headed over to the Magic Kingdom on our first full day. We were so excited to experience Charlotte's first trip (of which I am sure there will be many! right Mario? right?). She loves the 'YO HO" song, so we headed on over to Pirates first. She loved it, but was a little afraid of the drop at the beginning. She had lunch at the Crystal Palace with the grandparents with Winnie the Pooh and the gang while Mario and I got to ride some bigger attractions. It was a great first morning!

Making our way over to Pirates of the Caribbean

One of my favorites!

After lunch and a few more attractions we headed back to the room for a little rest

Day One - Continued

Having fun at Down Town Disney

Back at the hotel watching the fireworks - one of Charlotte's favorite things to do!

We went to go see the electrical water pageant and Charlotte was given a bunch of balloons left over from a party! She loved them.

Walt Disney World - Part One

We took Charlotte to Disney World in December and she loved it! She had so much fun. She got to eat lots of yummy food, go on fun rides, and meet some characters! We took over 5,000 pictures so the task of picking out which ones to put up on here has definitely been a daunting task. That, and a Disney vacation is exhausting. We needed a vacation after our vacation! It was great though and I can't believe it's already over. Charlotte has already asked to go back! She even tried to drag us to the door.

Bye Ben! No worries, you will be well taken care of!

Playing around at the airport with Mario

The airport is so much fun at 5 in the morning!

On our way! Disney, here we come!

Her favorite socks. They are grumpy from the Care Bears.

In Orlando! This is the tram to the Disney buses.

Doing well for being on a plane all day

There is even a Disney Store at the airport in Orlando.

Being patient.

On the Magical Express! Almost there!

She's excited!

We checked in and we were uprgraded for free! Once we got settled in we met up with my parents and headed to Downtown Disney.

Riding with the grandparents

Last day! Virginia's visit

Day Five

This visit seemed to go by so quickly! They always do, but this one just zoomed on by. We are all so lucky that Virginia was able to come and visit as much as she has this year, though. This was her last day. Not really even a last day, but just the morning that we had to take her to the airport.

Packing up

Virginia wanted to take some of the beautiful fall leaves but didn't get a chance to. I got a picture of one on our car that morning though!

Charlotte wasn't so happy about getting up early

I actually like the brightness in this one

Grandma Virginia's Trip - part three

Day Four

We went over to my parent's house and hung out for the day. My mom and Virginia bonded over wine, and we all had a great time.

Chowing down on Grandma Brandner's Chex Mix

Matthew

Charlotte all bundled up

Diablo. Charlotte talks about him a lot. The first thing she asks Grandma Brandner on the phone usually is "Diablo?", as if to ask how he is doing.

Mario and Virginia

Razor. Don't worry, Charlotte loves him too!

Nathan talking about the Roman Empire (or something history related) with Virginia

Whatever he was talking about must have been pretty interesting. Or shocking.

She loves bathtime in their sink
