Well we had our first family vacation to Disney World. We met up with my parents, all of my brothers and sisters, (with the sad exception of Gabe) and their kids. We had a great time, it was so busy we walked miles every day. It was a little cold, but the kids still talked us in to letting them swim. We got to go to all of the different kingdoms and it wasn't too busy so luckily we didn't wait in a lot of lines. The kids bought autograph books and that made it a lot of fun to find all the characters and get them to sign the books.
Elizabeth said her best day was when she wore her dress-up and we went to the Magic Kingdom. She was very impressive in her big white dress. Jiminy Cricket asked her to marry him and she said "I'm just 6 I can't marry a cricket". We all had to laugh. Elizabeth said her favorite rides were Space Mountain and Toy story. She said her favorite shows were Beauty and the Beast and a Pirate Dinner show we went to.
Katie said her best day was every day. She said she really enjoyed meeting the princesses, especially Cinderella who is always Katie's favorite. After She signed Katie's book Katie turned and ran to show Dave and Cinderella said "Oh! Don't run darling, you might loose a slipper." It was fun to see how all the people we met really stayed in characters. Katie said her favorite ride was the Toy Story ride and the Haunted Mansion. (She was the only one of the kids not scared by it. She said"It's just a ride, it's not real.") Katie said she really like the Nemo show.
I think Danielle's favorite part was the new stroller, so she could sleep while we ran around. She also really liked the characters, and all the crackers we fed her.
My favorite thing were all the shows we got to see they do such a good job it was a little taste of Broadway. I also enjoyed being their with all the family, but I think I got my fill of Disney and don't need to go back any time soon. Maybe when Danielle is Elizabeth's age.
Dave had a fun time at Kennedy space center with all of the boys. He also enjoyed the roller coasters, especially Everest and Space Mountain.

Definitely the happiest place ever and what a perfect age for your girls to experience the magic.
What a great trip! Sounds like you all experienced something (or make that lots of somethings) that you really enjoyed. I loved hearing about Elizabeth's 1st proposal. And the pics were so fun to see! (This is a random comment but your hair looks great, Colleen!)
How fun! Great pictures, the only thing missing is us!
I am so glad that all of you got to go to Disney World. It is a trip of a lifetime and one I will never forget that we took as a family many years ago. The children (and parents) look so happy. I know that Dave and Colleen could sure use a vacation, and a family vacation builds strength and memories in families. Thanks for taking the time to post all of the pictures and to share with us all the memories of your trip. Thanks, also, for the blog on my visit in Dec./Jan. Love you all. Mom
