P.S. We went to Disneyworld!

We took a much needed four-day vacation down to Florida with Kit's parents and sister's family. I had not been to Disneyworld for over 15 years and could only remember that there was a big golf ball and that I saw barbie and she had a limo. Well I am SOLD. I had a great time and look forward to more vacations there in the future!



How can you say no to that face jumping in your bed and waking you up at 7 am?



Day one was Animal Kingdom and the Magic Kingdom. Expedition Everest is awesome! Plus it was pretty great going with company who had figured out all of the child-swap, fast-pass line management strategies AND knew where to go when. 



You can barely see Abby's face, but it's pretty cute.


When we go to the real Mt. Everest we'll take another one of these arm's length photos.



That spin-y dinosaur ride. 



Safari











We were all jealous of sitting in that stroller in the end.













Bugs Life 3D experience!


Little Alligator - or should I say, "Crikey!  Look at the size a' that sheila!"



We really liked the bird show.


The ferry to Magic Kingdom



Sunday we drove for two hours to get to a gulf-side beach that is famous for shark's teeth. I think we were all pretty apprehensive that we would find any, but then we did! and we were all obsessed with looking for more.








This guy walked around the beach showing everyone his huge collection of big shark teeth.  Apparently you can do scuba dives in the area specifically to look for these.








We ended up finding something like seventy shark teeth all together! 



too funny.


Abby [exasperated]: "Julia! You're taking my water!"








lunch break at epcot.





The new Test Track at Epcot is really really fun, btw. 



Waiting for the Norway ride





Kit was quickly reminded of his Holland America days and wants everyone to know that in Tlinget, his name actually means "Thunderbird Clan".




Question:  Which of the people in this picture was most excited to be at Disneyland?  Hint: His name starts with K and ends with it.



The special effects tour at Hollywood Studios.



Lights, Motors, Action




the troop.


And then we realized we only had one picture of the two of us, taken on the first day at the first ride, so we quickly got another one, taken on the last day after the last ride.
