Our Disney vacation

We finally went back to Disney World this summer. We went in 2004 when Brik was 6 and had a great time. I have been waiting since then to choose the perfect time to go back. We had Jaxon in 2005 so we had to wait a while. I know lots of people take really little ones to Disney World and still have a great time but we decided to wait. I'm glad we did. We had a wonderful trip and Jaxon was able to ride almost everything. He even rode Tower of Terror! When his little tush came off the seat as we dropped he decided that he did not want to ride that again. I wish we had the picture from the ride because both Charlie and I threw our arms across him when we dropped and we were both covering his face for the picture. I don't need the picture to remember the face he was making but I wish I had it to share. Brik of course rode everything. Oh, I take that back he flat refused to ride Dumbo. LOL. We went during Star Wars weekends and that was really fun. Brik, Charlie and Jaxon built their own lightsabers on the first day (you can do this at Once Upon a Toy at Downtown Disney) just in case we encountered any sith lords which of course we did! We stayed for 9 days this time and it was so nice to have that much time. We spent one whole day at the resort and I will always include a resort day in all of our future trips. We needed that day to really chill out! We threw some laundry in and spend several hours at the pool. The boys argued quite a bit when they got tired (which was expected)but other than those minor battles we really had a great time as a family. Oh I also celebrated my 40th birthday while we were there. If I could spend all of my birthdays at Disney World it would make getting older a lot more fun :). I want to thank my wonderful husband and my great boys for such a wonderful trip. I hope we have many more to come. I also have to thank my Mom, Dad, Dana & Jacque for taking the time & money to come with us for a few days and be there for my birthday. I would have loved for them to stay the whole time but I was very grateful for the few days we had with them. My birthday lunch was great. We ate at Le Chefs De France, I was at the happiest place on earth with lots of my loving family with me. It is a birthday I will always remember. Oh and Mom I really am sorry about soarin! I thought you would love it! We live and learn. and yes you did live through it. I wasnt sure if I was gonna live after we finally got you back on the ground but we both made it back to Texas safe and sound. Thats what counts right? I will post some pictures from the trip below.
