Disney World...

Alright, before we go on about Disney, Let me just clear the air about the whole Colorado thing. A few days before we left I found out my job was being moved to Broomfield, CO, which is NW of Denver. Long story short, if I want to stay with my company and keep my job we move, otherwise they're giving me six months and 12 weeks severance if I decide not to move. So we're just weighing our options at the moment. We love Texas, and we have so many good friends here that we'd hate to leave, so we are thinking and praying about an answer. As always we'll let you know what we decide.

On to Disney World...


We had a BLAST! It was the best vacation we've ever been on, we were very tired every night after coming home from the parks. The boys just absolutely loved it, to see their faces light up each day was just awesome! We definitely will be going again. Thanks for all the advice and tips that we received, it made our trip more enjoyable. We ended up spending 5 days total at the Four differnet parks, which was plenty, we got to see all the things we wanted to and re-visit the stuff we really liked. Here's a list of a few rides/shows we liked.

Animal Kingdom:


It's tough to Be a Bug. Funny 3D show, watch out for those cockroaches!


Finding Nemo: The musical. It made me cry, just a little.


Expedition Everest. I think I was the only one who liked it, But I love Roller Coasters!


Jungle Safari. It was just like being in Africa.


Hollywood Studios:


Indiana Jones Stunt Show. Brandt's Favorite


Tower of Terror. Jared's Favorite


Fantasmic! Jen's Favorite


Star Tours and Jedi Academy. Christian's favorite


Magic Kingdom:


Splash Mountain. Both the boys loved that one.


Space Mountain. Brandt liked, Christian Not so much.


The Speedway. Letting the boys drive cars on a track, once again they loved this.


Epcot Center:


Mission Space. Gary Sinise was on the instructional video, Lt. DAN!


Spaceship Earth. For some reason Brandt really liked this one. Surprising.


All in all we had a blast, though we did lose Jen's camera our first day there and never did recover it. I wish there were more honest people out there. I'll be posting pix over the next few days. We had fun at the condo, playing in the nice heated pool, and even jumping in the lake!

Here's some video I shot of Christian's favorite part of the whole trip. Fighting Darth Vader.

Glad you had a good time. Sorry about the camera. That happened to us our first day at Disneyland with our brand new video-camera. Looks like it was a blast!
