During a long weekend in February, Mommy, Daddy, AJ, and I went to Florida to go to Disney World and to visit Grandpa Dennis, Aunt Cindy, and some of Daddy's old friends from high school. We left early Friday morning and when we got to Orlando, our first stop was Downtown Disney to do some shopping before we headed over to Ms. Melanie and Mr. Brian's to stay the night.
When we got to Ms. Melanie and Mr. Brian's, Nuggie and I got to meet a few new friends, Ella and Mason. We played for the rest of the afternoon and into the night and the best thing of all was that Ella loves Spiderman and Batman as much as me. Doesn't it look like we had fun?
Do you see the resemblance between Ella and Ms. Melanie and Daddy and I?
The next day we got up really early and Ms. Melanie made us donuts and bacon before we headed off to see Mickey and all of his friends. When we got to the Magic Kingdom our first stop was to see Pluto and to get him to sign our book.
Next Daddy and I headed off to meet Mickey and Minnie, while Mommy and AJ went to go track down some 1st Visit buttons for the two of us.
Afterwards we headed to Tomorrowland, where Daddy and I rode Stitch's Great Escape, then we met Buzz Lightyear and we all went for a ride on Buzz's Space Ranger Spin.
Then we headed over towards Cinderella's Castle to go find some pirates. Ahoy matey! We stumbled upon Pirate Goofy waiting in line for The Pirate's of the Caribbean ride.
While Nuggie was sleeping in his stroller, I got to meet Pioneer Donald Duck. Then we headed over to find Jessie and Woody.
I really wanted to ride Splash Mountain, but after watching several people completely soaked from the ride, I opted out at the last minute and Daddy gave our fast passes to a family in line and we headed towards Hollywood Studios to meet my favorite characters ever, Mater and McQueen.
While we waited for McQueen and Mater, I got to meet Handy Manny and also Mike and Sully from Monster's Inc. one of my favorite movies from when I was little like my little brother.
Then we finally got to see Mater and McQueen, the two reasons I wanted to go to Disney to begin with. At that point in the day I was tired and waiting was the last thing I wanted to do, but I made it and I got to meet them both. Unfortunately, they didn't get to sign my book, but I got to meet them and that was the best part of my day!
When we were leaving we passed the Young Jedi Training Academy and Mommy and Daddy promised that when we got back Nuggie and I are going to get to do it, I know I can't wait! (I also got to see Darth Vadar up close, he's my favorite!) After Disney, Daddy steered the truck south towards Palm Beach Gardens and Grandpa Dennis and Aunt Cindy.
The next day we got to go out on Grandpa Dennis's boat and he taught me to fish.
We didn't catch anything, but he did give me this fish since "When you go fishing with Grandpa Dennis, you always get a fish" - however, I think he's little crazy, he tried to tell me it was a Dolphin, but I've seen Dolphin and they don't look the same.
We had a great time and can't wait to go back when AJ's a little bigger. For now I have started tee ball and am having a great time.
As for me, I'm almost one and finally have more than two teeth. I'm still not walking, just cruising the furniture and not really saying much, heck, why should I when my big brother does it all for me?
We love you guys - see you all soon!
Love, Connor and Ayden
