the most magical place on earth!

We spent our Spring Break in Florida at Disneyworld with my family. And let me tell you - it really is the most magical place on earth! We had a fabulous time and left the week sunburned and exhausted, just as we'd hoped. Warning: There are lots of pics ahead! I tried fixing the formatting, but I'm at a loss so sorry it's so messed up.

On Monday we made it to the Magic Kingdom just in time to ride "It's A Small World" with Grandma & Grandpa, Kelli & Jeff and the kids. It was Marc's first ride and he was completely mesmerized!

That night we went to dinner with Cinderella, her evil stepsisters and Prince Charming. The little girls got dressed in their princess costumes and requested to be referred to by their princess names - Belle & Sleeping Beauty. They loved it!

The next morning we had breakfast with Mickey & friends. Marc did not seemed to be phased at all by the characters but he couldn't help but notice (and stare) at their extra-large heads.

On Wednesday everyone was pretty much tuckered out from our busy days at the Magic Kingdom so we got in a little pool time. Marcus spent a lot of time with Marc in the pool and Lezlee was more than happy to join him! The little kids LOVED the pool - I think they all would have been happy if we'd just come to Florida to swim!

On Thursday Marcus and I headed to the Magic Kingdom with Marc to ride a few rides.

We made the first stop at Pirates of the Caribbean because it was Marcus' favorite as a child! Isn't Marc adorable in this pirate hat?

I was most excited for Saturday because we were going to Animal Kingdom to ride the safari. The safari is a very cool ride because you are right surrounded by animals - there are no fences or walls. At one point our car got stopped because of a rhino in the road. I think Marc just wanted to get out and play with all the animals because he wiggled his way through the whole safari.

That night we went to the Polynesian resort for dinner and they provided lots of entertainment for the kids. There was a coconut race (Jackson won!) and a limbo contest.

Then we headed back to the Magic Kingdom one last time to catch the light parade. Grandma, Grandpa, Marcus, Marc and I decided to camp out early to save our place on the sidewalk so I made friends with our neighbors.

Just before the parade started we snuck in this pic in front of Cinderella's castle. It really does look magical all lit up at night!

And finally on Sunday we headed to the airport to go home. I think Marc had a great week!

Thanks Mom & Dad for a fabulous week! And thank you Kelli & Jeff for planning the trip for us - you did a great job!
