Magic Kingdom - Take 2
Well it was late when we got back from our second trip to Magic Kingdom so I didn't get a chance to write about our evening. It was an incredible evening. As soon as we got back, we decided to try our luck and see if there was any chance we could get a reservation to have a character dinner at the Crystal Palace. Lady luck was on our side as we were able to get in after only having to wait for 10 minutes. We had dinner with Tigger, Eyeore, Pooh and Piglet. Mason was so excited to see the characters from a distance but was not quite as excited when they got to our table. He wasn't so sure about those BIG animals near him so was very cautious. Pooh visited first. Mason didn't want to get out of his high chair but i took him out so he could hug Pooh. Of course he wasn't having that either. The best we got was he touched Pooh's soft head and that was it. Below is a couple of Pooh pictures.
Eyeore was the next one up and he was Mason's least favorite. We snapped a few pictures and he moved on to the next table.
Our next character was Tigger. Mason absolutely loves Tigger. He has slept with a stuffed Tigger since he was a year old. He was excited watching Tigger make his way to our table. He kept saying with a huge smile on his face, "Tigger coming". We thought sure that he had warmed enough with the first two that he would be ready for Tigger. No such luck. He didn't want anything to do with him. If you will notice in the picture below, he has my cell phone up to his ear. He was pretending to talk to GiGi and wanted nothing to do with Tigger. Just minutes before Tigger arrived at our table, he was telling GiGi all about Tigger coming and was so excited.
After enjoying our character dinner we headed back out into the park. We walked around in the "older" kids sections to see what we had to look forward to in the next couple of years!
After several more hours, we decided to call it night. Before leaving the park, I got some pretty cool photos of Cinderella's castle at night.
Until next time......

2 Years Old
Happy Birthday to my little guy. It is hard to believe my baby is already 2 years old. Time sure has been flying by. It has been the most amazing two years of my entire life. Each day brings something new and special and I continue to love him more and more. He is an awesome little boy that makes me smile every day. I hope he knows and feels how much I love him and how happy he makes his mommy!
I love you Mason. Happy Birthday baby!
Until next time......
I love you Mason. Happy Birthday baby!
Until next time......

Downtown Disney X 2
We enjoyed Downtown Disney so much the first time that we decided to go back again to see what we missed the first time. We were also in search of a t-shirt and a prize from GiGi. We found both at the enormous Disney store that was there. That place was crazy with hundreds of people going nuts buying Disney "stuff". We were among the crazies but did not go "crazy" spending like the woman ahead of me in line. Her total was $549.94 for all of the stuff that her 2 children wanted. Mason got a t-shirt and a set of Cars figurines. I spent a whopping $45 and he was happy as can be!
The picture below is a visual description of the the excitement Mason has shown while doing new, exciting things on vacation. It has been amazing watching him take it all in and have FUN. He has been well behaved for the most part and has been a trooper while we have been traipsing around from place to place.
He enjoyed riding this little train and was so cute sitting there all big. I had been riding with him but when he saw the other kids riding by themselves, he said no mommy, my do it which was his way of saying not this time mommy, I can ride by myself!
We ate at Rainforest Cafe for dinner and while we were there they sang Happy Birthday to Mason and gave him a chocolate sundae. He had fun eating the whip cream with his fingers! I cannot believe my baby will be 2 on Saturday. :-(
The picture below is of him in one of the "cups" on the carousel. For some reason, he is afraid of the horses and will not ride on them.
Until next time......

Magic Kingdom - Take One
This morning we went to Magic Kingdom for a couple of hours. We rode Dumbo, The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Aladdin's Magic Carpet, the tea cups, It's a Small World and the Prince Charming's carousel. They were all lots of fun. Of course he wanted to ride each one of the rides a second time and would pitch a fit when we had to get off. We were definitely not alone in that category. All of the little ones wanted to keep riding. Below is a not so good picture of Dawn and Mason in front of the castle.
We ate lunch at Pinnochio's restaurant and then walked around for little while before taking the ferry boat back to our car. On our way back we were able to see part of the Main Street Parade. It was cool. Mason waved and smiled and laughed at all of the characters. It is just magical seeing the smiles on his face and the excitement in his eyes. We kept asking him if he was having fun and he kept saying "yes". Awesome morning for sure.
We are back at our suite letting Mason take a nap so we can spend the rest of the afternoon and evening enjoying the rest of Mickey Mouse's house. Hopefully it will be a little cooler than this morning.
Magic Kingdom Take 2 will be later this evening.
Until next time......

MIA and Vacation Ramblings
Sorry I have been MIA lately. Things have been crazy busy at work, we have had a crazy home schedule while Dawn has been taking care of her dad and we have been doing a little vacationing. With all of that going on, I haven't had time to sit down long enough to write anything meaningful. Not that I have many followers but I want it to be meaningful for me as well when I go back through these in the years to come. To help with my blogging slump that I have been in, I decided to download blogpress for my iPad so maybe I can get a few posts done between all of our adventures. Never used it before so we will see how it goes.
We are currently in Florida on our last vacation of the summer. Thanks to David and Trey for staying at our house and looking after things while we are traveling. Don't forget to water my flowers and to put out the recycling. Love you! We are staying at our timeshare in Orlando and are enjoying all of the amenities of timeshare traveling. Our pool is enormous and it has a splash pad that Mason has really enjoyed. He has been so funny to watch. He loves the water and the zero entry pool has allowed him much more freedom to move around helping him get much more comfortable each time he gets in it. The water temp is a bit warm for my liking but is great for the kiddos.
We spent all day yesterday with my brother who lives in Tampa. We don't get to see him very often so we were glad he came and hung out with us. We went over to the Gaylord Palms hotel that was behind our places to look around. It was nice but not as nice as the Gaylord Opryland place in Nashville we went to several years ago. A couple pics for your enjoyment.
Last night, he took us to Downtown Disney where we had so much fun. The place is huge so we were there exploring for several hours. There was so man things to see and do, we didn't know what to do first. Below are a few pictures that I took while we were there.
We ate at the T-Rex restaurant which was an amazing place. I took pictures there but those are on my camera and I cannot get to them until I can get back to my computer. The only pictures that I did get on my phone was of this wooly mammoth and the gigantic Coronita drink that Dawn ordered.
Today we went to Cocoa Beach. This was the first time that Mason has been to the beach this summer. He loved the waves and just laughed and laughed when they would come crashing in. He kept saying, he they comes. It was adorable. I got a few pictures with my phone but the best ones are you guessed it...on my camera.
Mason has been such a great little boy thus far on vacation. We are having so much fun and it makes my heart happy to see Mason enjoying himself and getting to do lots of fun new things. Tomorrow we are going to Magic Kingdom and I am so looking forward to the madness and all of the fun that we Re going to have. I cannot wait.
Until next time......
