Halloween Take 1

Tonight was the start of Halloween parties and it was the 4-H party.  Below is Grace in her gypsy costume and Lucy as Super Girl.

 Lucy in the costume contest, she didn't win but she still had fun up there.
 Grace won best original costume for her age group, below she is with the other winners in her age group.
 Here is Lucy giving the pinata a good hit.
It was a fun night and just the beginning of more fun, candy filled days ahead. Tomorrow is trunk or treat at church in the morning and then Girl Scout trick or treating in the afternoon, hope those costumes hold up until Halloween on Wednesday, we will share more picture of the fun then!

DisneyWorld.........happiest place on earth!

In the middle of September we headed to DisneyWorld with our cousins.  To say we were excited would be an understatement, remember those countdown chains we made.....They were worth it because we had a great time on the trip and covered all of the Disney parks thoroughly as well as SeaWorld.     There are way more pictures than Mom has time to post on here but here is a peak at our week.

 Our family at the Magic Kindgom.
 The counsins on Shamu.
 Our resort was the Art of Animation so there were themed areas such as cars with the characters like Mater.
 Mom and Grace getting ready for the fireworks at Magic Kindgom.
 Our breakfast with the princesses was great, we got all of the critical autographs that morning for our books, SnowWhite, Belle, Princess Auroa, Ariel, and Cinderella.
 We got Mickey ears on this trip......we think Mom was more excited about these than us =).
 The part of the resort that we stayed in was the Little Mermaid area and they had a really big Ariel, King Triton and Ursala sulptures.
 Grace on the teacups.
 Lucy on the teacups.
 The whole clan with Donald Duck, we had a great time!

One of the highlights for the kids was the bus transportation from the resort to the parks and back again.  Towards the end of the week they would usually rush onto the bus and try to find an area for them all to sit with no concern for where the adults were =).

It was a great family trip, can't wait until even more of us can go again, DisneyWorld 2014 here we come (with a much bigger group by then too)!  Aunt Tina even held out and had our new cousin Tommy after we got home so we could see him right away.
