Wave your hands in the air

like you just don't care! Here's a cool pic of me and the boys Paul snapped turned around in his seat on Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom in Disneyworld.

My kids are such speed freaks, there is nothing they won't ride! Yup, my 5 year old rides the big coasters with no hands! (I keep mine up but poised near the grab bar for close calls) Yes, we are back home now and although I've missed you I am having a hard time getting back into blogging since I dug myself out from all our post vacation laundry! Ugh! Luckily, new rubber arrived today for our release next week so that should get the juices flowing!!

Here is a magical night of fireworks in front of the castle.... turned out like a post card!

And here we have two drummers drumming at Animal Kingdom the next day.

If you have never been to that park, that Tree of Life you see behind Jonathan is just spectacular, hundreds of animals sculpted into that magnificent, ginormous trunk!!

My little Vikings in "Norway" at Epcot (we never miss an opportunity to get a photo in a cool hat)...

Be afraid, be very afraid!!

The three of us at Hollywood Studios. I know my smile is totally crooked, I think I was talking but glad it turned out as well as it did, could have been worse! (You know, I wish Paul had told me to crouch down a little bit, it would have totally looked like I was wearing that big sorcerer's cap behind me! hee!)

Finally a pic of all of us together! This was taken inside the Sci-Fi Drive in Dinner theater, I totally recommend it if you go to Hollywood Studios, what a cute restaurant, wish we had one in Austin!

They show old monster movie clips, previews and drive in ads from the 50's and it felt like you were out under the stars in these convertibles even though it's indoors, the kids loved it!

And just a couple more pics of the kids clowning...
William was throwing the peace sign/ bunny ears up in almost every pic, where do they learn these things??

Jonathan thinks he's getting a hug here, little does he know!

We did DisneyQuest, the downtown area and Blizzard Beach too, but I don't have any pics from these places. (I may share some other favorite pics later, but right now I am just pooped, ran errands all day in 100 plus degree heat and I am fading fast!) Still, a good time was had by all, no one got lost, and we were very happy to return to our home in Austin by the end of the week! What more could you ask for?

Thank you so much for your prayers for the Jensen family, I will update you on Jess's condition as soon as I hear from Nancy again. She posted her snail addy and a heartbreakingly beautiful poem her sister-in-law wrote for Jess on her blog, well worth reading if you have a few minutes! (and passing along to others you know who might get great comfort from it) I DID find my phone moments before we needed to leave for the airport, literally (thank you for praying about that, too!) and it was so precious to receive your emails that you were lifting up prayers for that family each day while we were away! God bless!

More later!!! Cards soon, I promise!
