Disney World Day 2

We spent our second day of Disney World at Magic Kingdom.

Riding the boat there.
Our first ride was the tea cups. We didn't have to wait at all and pretty much had the ride to ourselves. Ben loved it!



Next up was the dumbo ride!



Ben loved the castle.
We really enjoyed the people mover in Tomorrowland. There was never a line and Shawn and I got to rest some and Ben enjoyed riding a choo choo.
I love these pictures of Ben driving the race car. You can barely see his head over the steering wheel.
There he is!
After the race cars, we rode the Buzz Lightyear ride. You are trying to defeat Zurg in the ride and Ben still is talking about how he defeated Zurg. Afterwards, we went to meet Buzz Lightyear. Ben was SO excited, but still not ready to go up to him by himself.


We watched another Celebrate parade that day.

Seeing Jesse and Woody.
Waving to Woody
Woody waved back and pointed to Ben. It was so sweet!

That night we watched the parade and fireworks.

Ben had a great view from his Daddy's shoulders.


It was such a wonderful day with great weather and very short lines!

Disney World Day 1

Last week Shawn and I took Ben to Disney World. We had a blast. It was so much fun watching Ben have so much fun.

We arrived in the afternoon and headed on over to the Magic Kingdom. Ben has been talking about going to see the castle for weeks.

I think this picture is so funny. Ben can't take his eyes off the entrance for our picture.
Right as we got there this Mickey Mouse Celebrate Parade came by. Ben LOVED it.


Ben loves Woody and Jesse
Waving to them.
So Happy!
After the parade we rode a few rides. This is the first time Ben has ridden on a horse on a carousel. It helped that his daddy rode with him.
That night we went to eat dinner at Chef Mickey!

While waiting for our table we went to the gift shop and Ben tried on this Goofy hat.

Too funny
Ben is so funny when it comes to the characters. He could see them all around when we got to dinner and he kept talking about them. But, when Donald Duck came walking up to our table Ben immediately started crying. He was much happier when I held him and we went to meet Donald together.



As you can see, he was much more comfortable with the characters at the end!

Mother's Day Weekend

We had a very busy weekend. It started Thursday night when we took Ben to the Circus. He loved it! I couldn't believe how much he was into it and paid attention to everything. His favorite part was the elephants! When the circus was over Ben kept saying I want to do it again. He kept saying that for several days afterwards too.




Friday night Ben and I went to a Mom and Son event at the local speedway. First it started with a race.



After the race the kids got to play in all of the race cars which definitely was the highlight for Ben!







Driving a firetruck
Petting a giant turtle
Ben also loved painting a car!





We ended the night with a limo ride around the racetrack.
Saturday night we went to see my niece Lauren in Annie. She is one of the orphans and did great. The show was awesome! Definitely go see it if you can.

On Mother's Day we went to church and then to the ranch for lunch. It was a wonderful day spent with my boys! I am SO blessed!
