Disney

Every kid dreams of going to DisneyWorld. Some sort of brainwashing that goes on with those Disney commercials and the big mouse. My sister lives in Orlando and we've managed to avoid Disney every visit. But with Nick turning the big 5, I thought it might be time.

We were in Orlando over the weekend for Megan's baby shower (yeah baby Nolen!)

and decided to devote one day to the Magic Kingdom. Mom-Mom, Shannon and Megan offered to watch Peri while Nick and I went to the park. Craziness to find out that one of Nick's best buds would be in Orlando that same weekend with his parents and grandparents. So we met up with them and had an awesome time. Despite the "chilliest weather in 9 years". Figure we'll never forget the year we went to Disney with hats and gloves.

Nick rode his first roller coaster and was not so impressed. Until he stopped and he yelled "again!" Then onto the Haunted Mansion, which again didn't impress him. So much so that he said "I'm going to go to sleep now." Seems his body has a mechanism for shutting out scary stuff. Apparently he got this from Chris (ask Mary about Chris falling asleep at the dentist when he was little. Just too much stress and they zonk). He loved the racing cars

teacups and the Buzz Lightyear ride.


Now we have to expect to go to Disney every visit to Megan.
