More fun animal time!

Redding had to have the "Shamu Bubble Blower".  

He ran out of bubbles before we left!

Feeding the Dolphins.  

Redding didn't want anything to do with this.  

Leyton wasn't very excited about feeding them either. 

He was more excited when the dolphin intentionally splashed him in the face!

Redding is getting a little curious!

Taking the animals to the Animal Kingdom!

Everest!  

I think this was the favorite of the roller coasters we rode.  

Leyton rode it twice and Redding is looking forward to riding it the "next time" we go to Disney. 

                                       

Hippo yawn!

My favorite animal sighting, by far!

Is that giraffe going to get us?

Bug's Life!

Redding doesn't look very happy…because he isn't.  

This was not his cup of tea.  

He cried.  

Mostly because of the smell.  

And the smoke.  

And the loud noise.  

Nothing about this made him happy.

He did, however, like "Kali River Rapids".  

We were completely soaked and freezing, because it was a cold, rainy day.  

He was happy though.   

Dennis and I preferred "The Lion King".  

Our first day!

While we usually make a visit to the beach during September track-out, 

this year we decided to go BIGGER!  

The boys are the perfect ages for a visit to Disney.  

So that's what we did.  

We packed our suitcases, boarded a plane, and spent a week in Orlando.  

Three days at the Magic Kingdom, one day at Hollywood Studios, 

and one day at Animal Kingdom makes for one tired family. 

No doubt, we needed a vacation from this vacation when we got home.   

Enjoy a few of our memories.  

On our way…

On the ferry…

WE MADE IT!

We had a bird stalking us during lunch…

This is Redding's favorite photo face

This is what one day at the Magic Kingdom does to a 4 year old and a 6 year old!

And a little pool relaxation!

End of Summer Pool Fun!

 Getting Ready for his "can opener"

CANNONBALLLLLL!

And the dive we were hoping for all of swim team season...

Paging Dr. Thomas…Dr. Redding Thomas

Redding is doing his round and making sure everyone has a healthy heart!  

Actually, he likes to listen to digestive noises.  

They're funnier.
