Disney Day 1

We spent Day 1 at Animal Kingdom and Epcot- waiting for Epcot fireworks at the end of the day


Ethan loved the nice slow Earth ride


And was a little scared about the Mt Everest rollar coaster- he didn't ride another big one the rest of the trip


Ethan on the ride- the G forces were pushing him in the corner and he didn't really like that :)


Meeting the characters

We stayed at the All Star Sports resort- obviously a sports theme and this was the tennis courtyard area


Hannah did not want to get her picture taken with Mickey Mouse- she was ready to eat!!

Airplane ride

We left for Florida Friday after Ethan got off the bus from school (and the bus forgot to drop him off so we had to chase down the bus so we weren't late for the plane). That was the worst thing that happened on vacation.


The iPad was dead so this was how cooperative Carter was on the plane. It was a long 2 hour ride.


Ethan was very excited to go to Disney

Marathon

The real reason for our trip to Disney world (and the reason to pull the kids out of school for a week).... The Disney Marathon! What is more fun than getting up at 3am to run 26.2 miles with 20,000+ of your closest friends?


The finish line, you start and end at Epcot


Run around epcot and to the finish


Here all the kids found us after we finished and converged to see what snacks we had gotten (and to check out the medals)


I finished just over 4:02, not bad for a first marathon. (brother in law Tim finished just over 4:00) I'm already trying to plan where the next race will be.
