Disney!!

I am going to be playing catch up, so going way back to September... 

We took our last trip to Disney World on our annual pass. We had such a fun year going up about once a month. This trip was a particularly fun one because Mason was tall enough to ride all the rides and Tanner was tall enough to ride a few he never had been able to before.
We started out at Animal Kingdom. 

This is Everest, and Tanner got to ride this for the first time! It is probably my favorite ride in all of Disney! SO so fun! Tanner went on it 3 times!

 

 Next was the Safari, were you get to see really live actually animals. So cool!

Like this buffalo

 and these Giraffes

 This is a horrible picture, but Tanner got to be part of the Lion King Show, which by the way is an awesome show!

 Random Picture at Animal Kingdom

Of course we had to go to the Lego store in Downtown Disney

 Eating Breakfast at the hotel is always fun!

 Hayden's nice bruise he had just gotten while falling off the bed and hitting the table.

Next up was Holly Wood Studios

 We love going to the art drawing class, a little hidden gem! This time around we learned how to draw Mickey

 Mason wore his Heelys so he would be tall enough to ride Rockin Roller coaster! He was barely tall enough and LOVED it!

 We LOVE Toy Story Mania! We even watch You Tube videos to figure out tricks to get higher scores! Such nerds!

 Last we went to Magic Kingdom

 Every time we go to Disney, we always talk about getting a Turkey Leg, but never want to fork over the 9 bucks for one. Well, we broke down this time and got one. It didn't disappoint!

 Tanner got to ride Space Mountain for the first time and Loved it!

 This is him thinking he is super awesome for conquering Space Mountain!

 Riding the fairy back to the parking lot from Magic Kingdom

 That's the Castle in the back ground!

Oh Disney, how we love you!! Until next time...

Lion Country Safari

Last month we got to go to the last attraction on our summer savings pass... 

Lion Country Safari

It was a fun place to go with the boys. You first go through a drive thru zoo. It was fun because the animals come right up next to your car. Then you can park and go through the park. They have miniature golf, and a bunch of little rides. The boys loved it!

 Hayden loved wandering around the van during the drive thru part

 Look how mad Mason is here. We had just finished the miniature golf and told him we need to move on to something else. He was not happy. He wanted to stay and keep golfing!

 But then we went on this and he got over it!

We had to do the water balloon shooting thing...

 They said Hayden could ride the train if I went in it with him. I know I look a little awkward, the things we do for our kids!

Mason looks a little bored on it!

 Had to hit up the petting Zoo

and the bird place

and before we left I said we should look in the gift shop for one of grandpa's displays, and sure enough we found two...

We love finding these all over the country!

Mason and Tanner both started school on August 20th. They were both very excited, especially Tanner! So happy to be going to school like his brother!

Mason Started 2nd grade! He starts at 7:55 and ends at 1:55

 

The boys before Mason left for school

 Tanner is doing a Pre K class. He goes everyday 9-12

 

arriving at preschool

 went right to work

 Later that afternoon when we went to pick Mason up from school, the boys immediately put their arms around each other and started talking about their day. As we walked back to the car I heard Mason so excitedly ask Tanner all about his day. It seriously melted my heart! They are such good buddies!

Here's to a great 2012-2013 school year!
