Animal Kingdom

Reagan with Briar Rabbit.


Here we are on our African safari.....the driver acts as if we're on a mission to catch poachers and the ride is a bit bumpy....as you can see by Brett's face they were a bit scared until I told them it was pretend. It was fun to see the animals along the way AND we captured the poachers!! Yeah!

Me and the big kids with Santa Goofy!
Reagan and Brett with Minnie in her Christmas outfit.

Awwwh.....one of the random Disney photographers took this of Reagan then they inserted Simba....super cute.
The whole family with Mickey!

Everyone eating their packed lunch and waiting for the parade to start.


These beautiful flamingos were in the pond right behind where we watched the parade....such interesting birds. We learned they are pink because of the shrimp they eat.

Mommy, Addison, and Brady waiting for the Animal Kingdom parade.

This is priceless......this is the look on Brady's face when he saw the characters waltzing by during the parade. It was hilarious.
Reagan and Brett giving Pluto a high five!

Hello Mickey!



Reagan and Brett amongst the fossils in Dinoland USA.


A few shots from the Finding Nemo Musical...it was a great show complete with bubbles falling from the sky.....neat until they fall in your eye...trust me!

Sea World

Reagan and Brett with Dolly Dolphin at Sea World in Orlando, FL.
Reagan watching the sting rays swim by.....and trying to gain the courage to pet one!

Watching the dolphins and attempting to pet them.

One swam right by Scott so he was able to pet it....luckily I had the camera ready....it was cool.
The alligators were on Brett's "must see" list.
Here's the fam waiting for the Shamu Show to start....they (the whales) were being a bit stubborn so we had to wait for them to be ready to do a show. It was worth the wait.


The kids got a kick out of this trick!


Reagan and Brett feeding the sharks and some sting rays.

One of the tiger sharks that they were feeding.


Enjoying some ice cream....it was hot....80's all week!


I love penguins.

Brady taking a snooze during the dolphin show.
And the kids said, "Awesome!".
Such beautiful animals....and a great show with acrobats, divers, dolphins, and colorful birds.


Scott and Brett feeding the dolphins.

Hello Flipper!

My turn.....it was the best part of that day, I think.

They like to be rubbed under the chin...not on the top of the head.

Reagan's turn...."Mom, you rub his chin, I'll drop in the fish!"

My girls! Sweetie pies!

Florida fun

Addi girl hangin' pool side!
The boy's enjoying the hot tub.

Scott and the kids had an awesome time in the pool.

An excited Reagan and Brett in the pool at the Lake Buena Vista spa and resort in Orlando, FL. The pirate ship with slide was a hit with them as well! The condo was wonderful!

Brady boy at the pool.

Splashing with Daddy....it was quite cute.

Yep, Mommy got in too. We had lots of fun!

Addison and Brady enjoying a drink after their swim.

There she goes!
And for snack....toes! Followed by fingers and the strap of the stroller!

Think he was having a blast!?! Priceless face.



He flipped 'em, tossed 'em, splashed 'em, and dunked 'em and the STILL went back for more. I'm glad he doesn't mind getting in with them! They had some great Daddy time at the pool during our stay.

Breakfast on the balcony........13 stories up!

Brady and his Mickey Mouse ears.

Addison, my good girl, actually left hers on for a bit.

Reagan and Brett felt the need to try the ears as well.
Brady eating the magic wand. Bibbity, bobbity.....YUM!
I was trying to capture the way she's sitting. Her Grandpa Tom sits like this too!

Enjoying some Cheetos while watching the big kids swim one night.
I couldn't resist getting a picture of them all in the hammock....they were lined all around the pool side.

Reagan wanted a pic alone in one...turned out ok!
