Sorry it has taken me so long to blog. Summer is CRAZY! Having all three home just may be enough to have me committed by the end of summer!! I love the slower pace but my gosh is everything in constant motion and I do not do well without a little down time!

Anyway~ So we wrapped up our first day at Magic Kingdom. Sunday Morning we woke up and went to Epcot. I did not allow a lot of time there because I knew it would be a little over their little heads. But, we rode the spaceship earth (in the big ball) and the Nemo ride. Of course, that was dark so Jake was scared! Help me! Our fave rides there were Soarin (you feel you are high in the sky flyin over these awesome sights) we all loved this. The other favorite was Test Track. here you are like in a car they test for safety before it makes it to the dealerships. We were the dummies! It was awesome and both kids loved it. Of course it took Jake getting on it first. Then it stopped with us in the darkest spot. WHY?! Once we got going again it was FABULOUS! Thanks to Tate getting a big cut on her leg we had to get out of the long line and go to first aid which in turn gave us a fast pass to the ride and we were on in 15 minutes tops! She was very proud of that cut!! We then ended out time there with lunch and more souvenirs. Tate collected all the characters! Jake just wanted cars and remote control trams. His fave ride...the monorail system.

After we left Epcot we rode the monorail just for Jakey. We then headed back to the hotel for a little swim and nap:)

That night was one of our faves as well. We went to the Hoop Dee-Do Revue. I did this my first time at Disney when I was six and it did not disappoint at 31!! The kids loved it and they got to play the washboard. One of the stars of the show came and talked with Tate and the food OH THE FOOD!!!! Was so good. Ribs, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and awesome salad and strawberry shortcake for dessert! WOW!

We then headed back to Magic Kingdom for the night festivities there. We saw Spectromagic and then Michael and Tate headed out to do more rides (the park closed REALLY late) and Jake and I headed back to the hotel. But got to watch the Wishes fireworks display from the boat launch. He actually liked that!

We then all went bedy bye!!
