January the 2nd

We didn't want to miss the goodbyes. Andy was heading back to BYU that afternoon. We were headed to the Magic Kingdom. So we made sure we got up a little early, and I'm glad we did! I love this picture!

The next time we see Andy will hopefully be as he heads to the MTC this summer!
Porter was giving Uncle Tom pointers on how to smile at the camera- thanks for being such a fun uncle, Tom!

We took the ferry from the parking lot to the park entrance. It was crowded no matter which way we were going, but this seemed a wee bit quicker. Even if it wasn't, it gave us a great view as we headed in for a fun day at Disney.


Tram ride in- yeah for Disney World!


Taking a break at the kiddie play area.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, just the girls!


During the day, we split up a couple of times to get in some big rides sans Porter. It was my turn with the little guy and I thought we'd try a ride sized just for him. What I didn't expect was to wait an hour and 45 minutes for it! But he was a trooper and I summed up the patience to be super mom for a little while. He loved it. I loved watching him love it. And we both smiled a lot.Almost there!

We decided to get the heck out of dodge for a little while. We took the kids to Denny's for a break from the ever more delicious Disney fare. It was a perfect break: no noise, no crowds, actual seats, and a full meal for $65 instead of a bunch of turkey legs! Then we headed back for the fireworks show (Note to others: sit in the back of the castle for the fireworks show. Really.) It was amazing to see the castle on in lights.
Kids and cameras don't mix.


Sunset at the Magic Kingdom parking lot. Aaaah.....
What a way to end our Disney World journey!
