Disney World continued

Typhoon Lagoon

SPLISH SPLASH .... we had a major blast!

The day after we visited all of the animals we headed for some major fun in the hot sun. We went to one of the best water slide parks in Florida. It was such a hot day and we were all ready for the water. Here is the fun Leavitt clan after swimming all day.

This place was seriously amazing to the eye. It had everything. Amber and I spent most of our time in the baby area because we're both pregnant and have to take it easier than and not go on all the water slides. We took care of the babies and loved just hanging in the white sand and the simpler slides. James was in heaven, he loved the lazy river, which went all the way around the park. It was about a 40 minute ride all around. He also really enjoyed the child area, there was a huge boat, small slides and little rivers to walk down. He never stopped the whole day.

I have never seen such a huge wave pool. The waves were almost 10 feet tall. James was fearless and loved taking the more shallow waves. They scared me more than him. We totally have a swim baby, he just loves the whole idea of being wet and having fun. I adore my sisters. They are seriously so much fun to hang out with and be around. One moment Amber and I will always remember is taking our 2 younger nieces, James and his cousin who is younger then him up a tube slide. We waited in line for about 45 minutes, here we are each holding the babies in one hand, both have prego bellies and they tell us that we have one person to much to fit on the huge tubes. So they said we'd have to split up and take our own tubes. We were like..... "are you serious?" The tubes were bigger then us. So we both tried. We didn't get further than the first step of stairs and realized there was no way we could do it. And worst thing, no one offered to help, so we had to turn around and not go. Well, all we can say is we tried. Magic Kingdom

Where all our dreams came true.........

Mickey Mouse.... James' new bud. James wasn't sure what to think about all the large full life Disney Characters walking around. The first one he saw close up was Pinocchio and he was seriously about to cry. He kept on pulling back, I could tell it was just a bit to much. Yet when he saw Pluto or any animal kind he was alright. I guess he preferred looking at them from a distance, instead of close up.

James dressed up a few times,doesn't he make a beautiful Minnie? (Josh would kill me if he knew I put this on here. His son is so manly, he doesn't dress up in girly things.... so he thinks.)

The Goofy hat suited my dad perfectly, and Josh and Brad looked amazing in their Minnie attire. One of our favorite rides was Pirates of the Caribbean. James was a little scared, yet at the end all he wanted to do was play with the swords and stuff.

Uncle Brad made James ' day by buying him a light saver sword. He was having the greatest time once it got dark out and glowed in the dark, he totally has an imagination already. Still to this day, he plays with it everyday. Thanks Brad for the awesome gift. go GOOFY!!

Donald Duck giving five to our baby girl, while James took a short nap.

We saw so many Disney characters. For James, it was his first time seeing a lot of them, because he really doesn't watch much T.V. For Disney he has only really seen Cars, Toy Story and I educated him a bit on Mickey Mouse and the clan a few days before we left.

Our nieces waited to see the princesses for like 2-3 hours, while James rode the train, visited Mickey's house and watched the fireworks. It was so great! The parade was awesome. James just kept on pointing and grinned the whole time. He couldn't believe everything around him. He is sure talking a ton now. His favorite words this trip have been car, choo choo, fish, momma, Dada (since he missed him so much) and sign language thank you and please. I love that he communicates with me so much and I can actually tell what he needs and wants. Going to these fun parks are so much more fun when you have a little one to watch. It is like all the magic comes alive again. What a fun trip for a little guy, I just hope he can remember something from it when he gets bigger.

James' favorite ride. He just loves horses and wouldn't stop saying "Howse".We saw so many Disney characters.
