Mommy had a work conference in Orlando so the boys decided to tag along to have some boy bonding time :) On Sunday it ended up working out that we could all go to Disney World, specifically the Magic Kingdom. We took the hotel shuttle on the way there and Trevor had fun tattooing himself as well as Mommy!
Right when we got there, a kind man snapped a photo of all of us!
We didn't really come prepared for the bright sunshine, so Trevor picked out a Buzz hat! The Mickey Mouse you ask? Well, that was a purchase at the convenience store the night before. Trevor calls it 'mouse' and is his new
BFF.
When we headed in further we saw there was a celebration parade going on. Read, lots of music, dancing and Disney characters dancing! Trevor was in awe...
...and wasn't afraid to wave at his favorites, like Woody!
Mommy and Dada have fond memories of Magic Kingdom so it was fun to take Trevor to see the castle!
Our first ride was "It's a Small World"
Trevor checked out everything and didn't miss one thing.
He would clap in excitement over certain scenes and dance a bit in Mama's lap!
He took it all in!
Next stop - the Dumbo flying ride! Lines weren't too bad - longest wait said 30 minutes and Trevor did just fine waiting...there is lots of people watching and who doesn't like people watching?
His second ride of the day (and yes, Mommy still fit in with her boys):
Up in the air!
After lunch we hit the new ride, Winnie the Pooh. They had tons of activities to keep the kids occupied while waiting in line!
Our future drummer - making Uncle Jim proud!
He was having a blast playing!
Helping the bees make honey for Pooh bear:
And after that Trevor was spent so we thought we'd snap a pic of him sleeping outside of the castle:
And while he slept, Mommy and Dada enjoyed ice cream treats :)
Over an hour later he woke up and was ready for more rides, so we checked out the Jungle cruise.
He liked pointing out all of the different animals to us:
He didn't find the tour
guide's jokes very funny either!
And back to the castle to get a picture of him in front of it (when awake!)
And then we hit up the Buzz Lightning ride - right up Trevor's alley!
Trevor's a pretty good sharp shooter!
Then up the escalator to the people mover ride. Big boy only wanted to stand by himself!
Then we raced in the speedway!
Saw another celebration parade and Trevor got up close and personal with his bud Woody!
And mouse!
After that we checked out Pirates of the Caribbean before needing to leave. But since it was only a 5 minute wait to meet 'the mouse' we did that too. Trevor LOVED meeting them!
He even shared his mouse with them!
And this just topped off our wonderful day at Disney!
But one last quick kiss for Minnie!
When we left the special room, Trevor kept asking for 'more mouse...
plllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeease' over and over. He didn't want to leave!
The next day Mommy was at her conference all day so the boys had a lot of bonding time. They spent a lot of time at our hotel's pool area - it was huge! It even had an area for jumpy water:
A shallow kiddie pool where Trevor started doing this funny run and fall into the water:
He thought it was so funny!
Weeeeeeee.......
They took a break mid-morning to see the famous Peabody ducks at the hotel:
Before enjoying a quick lunch in the room and a long nap (for both boys probably!)
Then they caught the duck march as they headed for their suite for the night:
Trevor kept saying 'ducks, ducks, ducks' and 'quack, quack, quack'!
He helped the duck master move the ducks along!
And got a picture with Donald in the ducks special elevator!
That evening we enjoyed a quick dinner at a restaurant across the street from a helicopter tour operation. Trevor liked spotting the helicopters and announcing their arrival/departure to the other patrons in the restaurant!
He got to try his first push up - YUM!
And then enjoyed a late night swim back at the hotel!
He showed off his jumping skills:
More like walking off the edge of the step, but whatever - it works!
On Tuesday, the weather wasn't supposed to be that great so they took the trolley to Monkey Joe's, an inground playground of sorts.
Trevor got to burn off lots of energy going down slides:
And climbing up stairs/ladders:
Jumping around:
And going down slides face first (that's a first for T!)
More slides (are you surprised?) - Trevor was in slide heaven!
That evening Mommy got back in time to see the duck march, pretty neato...although when Mommy lived in Memphis she saw the ducks at that Peabody a few times :)
On Tuesday evening since the weather was just fine (as it was all day) we grabbed a quick bite of dinner after having some fun at the Pointe fountains:
Nothing special about this pic other than it was taken at a very yummy Mexican restaurant and it reminds us that Trevor's bottom 2-year molars popped through!
For dessert that evening we picked up some treats at the diner at the Peabody. Can you say amazing?
On Wednesday morning, after a quick dip in the pool, we caught the ducks coming down for the day. Funny thing about this pic - one duck fell off the stair. Do you see it? Poor duck!
After that we had lunch at Johnny Rocket's where we ate too much, napped, packed and spent the rest of our time in Orlando at Dave & Buster's. Trevor had a ball - he loved helping collect all of the tickets and picking out his prizes! Maybe we'll never have to take him to Chuck E. Cheese? :)
