We ate breakfast with Lilo and Stitch at the polynesian resort that last day of our trip. We were already tired from 4 days in the parks and the night before we spent about 4 hours waiting for Carson to pick a souvenir. He couldn't decide between a hat, a towel, little action figures, mickey in jedi clothes, some monkeys on a rope, a pirates of the caribean blanket and just about anything else in the store. He went with the Pirates blanket and if you ever see it please compliment him on it, he is still trying to decide if he made the right decision. Anyway, after the long day we were laying down and thinking about the drive home when grandpa Bob reminded us it was daylight savings time and we were losing an hour. We did not make our 7:30 am reservation the next morning.
Bob had been worried about the prevelence of creepy people in the character costumes at disney, but out of all of them on stitch seemed a little bit off. He freaked out Tyler and took grandma Marlies' glasses, but the other boys loved it.
By the end of our trip we had learned a few things
- 50 cents ponchos are worth much more in a thunderstorm
- Double check your diaper bag for diaper before entering a park
- Carson and Easton will ride on any roller coaster they can get on
- Robby will not ride on anything but the jungle rapids ride
- Early march is a good time to go to Disney, not many spring break kids from colleges and the weather was pretty nice
- Tornado warnings are good for keeping the crowds out of Disney parks, just don't listen to the news and you don't need to worry about all day
- Check to make sure there are no cheerleading competitions and change plans if the bus you are on suddenly fills up with a squad from minnesota. 1 squad is cute = 500 squads can kill you
- Bring extra clothes for after the river ride, the disney people are really strict about public indecency for some reason
- Grandpa Bob and Grandma Marlies made all the difference in the world, ask them early and they might be able to go with you too
- Fast passes and baby swaps are great, we never waited more than 20 minutes

What a blast! I can't believe you guys went on that awesome vacation! Every five years? Or maybe every three. We'll be there for next one, except Disneyland so we can drive from here! Robby's hair was cute! And is your baby sad that he doesn't know us? We are. See you in AZ in a few months, right?
It looks like you had a ball! DisneyWorld is so intimidating for me. I don't even know where to start. Baby Bowen looks so much like your other boys. When I wish for a girl I look at you and your boys and want that too. Sorry, I can't seem to get over all of them. They're so cute. So, I don't know what a baby swap is but it sounds like I definitely need to get one.
I LOVE the blogs and pictures! I'm so glad that you had a great time. All of the pictures turned out so cute. I didn't even see Ty at first in his poncho next to Robby...it was like he was camouflaged.
After finishing a whirlwind like that, you kind of get antsy to try it again and get everything right! Looks like you had fun. Grandparents are a necessity! I love how Disney has thought of EVERYTHING...you know they have diaper changing/nursing stations where they sell diapers in every size...you have to find them, but they saved me when Alice decided to have the trots and went through all eight diapers I had packed before lunch. Fun times. Another tip...if it is "Gay Day" stay away. It's annoying when you have 2 and three hour lines for the teacups that don't have any children in them...in October.
It looks like you had sooooo much fun!! You have got me all excited for our trip to Disney in Nov. I can't wait!!!!!! Thanks for the pics, I have been anxiously waiting on them!
Looks like so much fun! Your boys have all gotten sooo big! Sorry, I don't think any of my summer vacations include Georgia this year, but with Emily having all of AZ praying for you to move here, who knows we might be neighbors soon! Take care! Mandy
Looks like you had a great time!! I can't believe how old Robby and Carson look!! Your kids are so cute!! We hear you may have a job offer in Mississippi!?! That would be a fun adventure!! We would love to come and visit you guys in the next year or so once you get settled into your new home!! Can you believe you are almost done with school? Fun! Fun! We hope to see you this summer!! Love~ The Trevor and Holly Gang!
