Eventful Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving :) This was taken at the hotel we stopped at on our way down to Tampa...we got a late start b/c Kendall had to go to the doctor before we left...she had an ear infection :(

Darrell poses w/ all the kiddos..from right Kendall, Kaden, Kyler & Karson...try keeping all those "K" names straight!

The whole gang...Keith, Meme, Myself, Kendall, Kyler, Karson, Kelly, Kaden, Darrel & Kecia.

I can't believe it but my little man was big enough to go on his first upside down roller coaster...he rode it twice!

There were so many holiday photo spots...this was the last picture of the day at Busch Gardens.

The start of our day at Magic Kingdom

Kaden didn't get a chance to meet Goofy during our visit to Magic Kingdom in April so he was thrilled to meet him this time.

Kaden at Cinderella's castle at night

It was a little too cold for the pool, waterslide and lazy river at our hotel...total bumer...but we did enjoy the massive hot tub and ate lunch poolside on our one day of semi relaxation in Orlando.

Ripleys Believe It or Not was not the most kid friendly spot, but there were some cool sights to check out. Kaden was scared of a lot of it and there were more than a few things I had to bypass b/c they may have haunted his dreams!!!

Kaden, Keith and Kendall at Rainforest Cafe for dinner after visiting Lego World.

I love, love, love the fact that all the parks were decorated for the Holidays. I luckily brought one holiday outfit for each of the kids and was able to snap a few pics.

Kendall & I at the Pooh Bear's Pots of Honey Fountain at Downtown Disney.

This was by far Kaden's favorite part of the whole trip. Meeting every power ranger and each one showed him a new move. He got autographs and pictures from each of them...even the pink power ranger!

Hollywood Studios puts on some high energy shows. This is their newest addition High School Musical 3, which is one of Kaden's favorite cds. They both sat and watched in amazement and Kendall stole the show w/ all her dancing :)

We ate lunch at Play N Dine at Hollywood Vine where the kids were able to meet a few of the characters from Playhouse Disney. Kaden even got up and danced w/ them. Keith and I enjoyed the extra large buffet!!

Kaden w/ the characters from the movie UP

Uncle D joined us later in the day at Hollywood Studios & I think he enjoyed meeting the Incredibles more than Kaden :)

Our last night of the trip just so happened to be our wedding anniversary and what a better way to spend it than w/ our greatest gifts...our two beautiful babies...in one of the most magical places on Earth...ok dorky I know, but it really was a perfect day!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a lot to be thankful for and celebrated w/a week long stay in Florida. I had very little access to computers and unfortunately no time to blog. In our 7 days we visited Keith's brother, Darrell, in Tampa for Thanksgiving festivities. The rest of his family was also in town...his Mom (aka MeMe) and his sister Kecia and her husband and two boys. While in Tampa the whole crew went to Busch Gardens and did a few other activities including bowling and a lot of Wii game playing. Then on Friday we all headed to Orlando for a day at Magic Kingdom. It was beyond crowded but we still managed to get on quite a few rides w/ the help of the Fast Pass. The rest of the family headed back home but we stayed a few extra days in Orlando and went to Hollywood Studios, Downtown Disney w/ dinners at Rainforest Cafe and TRex World, we even fit in Lego World and Ripleys Believe It or Not. I have been fighting a chest cold all week & Kendall has an ear infection and is on antibiotic but it didn't slow us down. I have so many pics to share so I hope you enjoy.
