Aberdeen got Some Ears

 Just after Aden turned 1 Jason and I went to Disneyland without him but we did bring him back some ears with his name on them. So of course this time having left Aberdeen behind we had to get her her own set of ears. She really liked them! : )

Walt Disney World Part 6: Magic Kingdom the Last Day

 These totem poles (???) shot water out. Jay and Aden had a blast running through them. At one point Jay got shot in the back just as Aden got shot right on the top of his head. So funny!


 We got to the park so early that day there was almost no one there. It was fantastic even if it didn't last long.
 This is the street on our way to Frontier Land.

 Meeting Donald Duck. While Donald isn't my favourite Disney character I will say he was my favourite one to meet. So nice!



 The Carousal!

 Isn't that pretty!

 Goofing with Mom!

 In front of the back of the Castle. Not confusing at all! 

 Mary Poppins! This is one of my favourite pictures from the trip. I really wanted to see Mary Poppins but she had a long line up and when we got near here she was just about to leave. By chance she walked right past Aden and gave him a wave which I got a picture of. Great timing! Mary Poppins is the only Disney movie Aden's actually seen (that and Pixar's Cars or course).

 Goofing around in Dumbo!

 Teacups again!

 The last ride we did and Aden's favourite! He loved those cars!

 In front of the Car ride with Dad.

 Goofing around while waiting for some of the adults to ride Space Mountain.


 Riding the People Mover with Mom and Dad. This ride doesn't run at Disneyland anymore. I remember riding it from when I was really little. It's slow but relaxing. I really enjoyed it!

 Family shot!


 Cute kid!


 We went to Downtown Disney for a bit and there was a race car shot. Aden was pretty thrilled!

 The Lego store was cool. Lots of amazing statues made entirely of Lego!

 All Lego!

Outside the store you could make cars and race them down this track. Aden loved it!

Walt Disney World Part 5: Magic Kingdom...again

 It was like pulling teeth to get this shot, just saying!

 Meeting Goofy again! 

 I really am so impressed with how well Aden did meeting the characters. Not scared at all!


 That darn pink stroller that all the kids fought over. Too funny!

 Waiting in line for Pirates of the Caribbean. I thought Aden wouldn't want to go on this ride but he did and wasn't scared at all.

 Hanging with Dad in the boat!

 The castle! Much bigger than the one in Disneyland but you can't walk through this one which is kind of too bad.

 Avery wanted to meet the Princesses. We took Aden along. He chatted it up with Belle for awhile.

 She gave him a smooch. This is probably one of my favourite pictures.

 Then he met Aurora. He wouldn't let her kiss him though but he did get a hug. Cinderella was next but he didn't want to see her. He was done with princess by then. haha! It was so cute!

Clowning around for the camera sporting the lipstick kiss!

Walt Disney World Part 4: Animal Kingdom

 Waiting in line for the Safari ride and a little bit sad.

 And now happy.

That giant rock you're looking at is really an animal. The safari was amazing. Lots of animals to see!



Love the faces!



Aden's first "big" ride was the Kali River Rapids ride where 8 people sit in a giant inner tub. Aden got soaked, soaked! Both times he rod it. He didn't seem to mind too much. He loved it!

 Meeting Goofy!

And Pluto!

I can't get over how well this kid did with the characters. He wasn't scared of them at all and gave them all hugs, high fives and took pictures. It was awesome!




This is the only shot we have of the 7 of us. I love it!

 Us in front of the giant tree that's in the middle of the park.
