Chillin' with Mickey and Friends

We just returned from our week of fun at Disney World. We visited The Magic Kingdom (3 times), MGM, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Blizzard Beach (a Disney water park). The rest of the time was spent swimming at our hotel pool and simply enjoying the warmth and sunshine. It was sad to leave, but thankfully we have lots of photos to remember our great times. I picked a few of my favorites to share with you. Enjoy!

We met up with some of our favorite friends, the Pasleys, on Wednesday at the Animal Kingdom. Here are Will, Patty and Mia.

The Tree of Life at the center of the Animal Kingdom is 50 feet wide and has 325 animal carvings. It's amazing!

Bougainvillea is one of my favorite flowers. Too bad it doesn't like the Northeast!

We spent Thursday with the Pasleys in the Magic Kingdom. First stop...the Dumbo ride!

Kids who misbehave at Disney get locked up with the evil Emperor Zurg. ;-)

Summer, Mia, Patty and I dined in Cinderella's Castle amongst the princesses to celebrate Summer's 9th birthday. Patty felt we had won the lottery to be there. It was quite the magical experience, I must admit.

Andy took this photo of one of many beautiful mosaics in the hall of the castle.

Max couldn't wait to get on this carousel. Here he is with his dad, Tom.

A fun way to cool off.

We had a family celebration for Summer's actual 9th birthday with another fancy lunch. This time it was in a Norwegian castle in Epcot with visits from Cinderella, Snow White, Aurora and Ariel. Summer was so happy when she was presented with a birthday card signed by all of the princesses when lunch was over. Lucky girl!

Hmmmmm....which one is Dopey?!

Our last hurrah in Disney was the fireworks show at Epcot.
