Summer travelers

Kay and I are still in New York.  I have LOTS of pictures so far.  Here are few from the beginning of the trip.  (Rach specifically asked me to post some things from our time up here, the rest of you may not care.)

Kay reading Snow White to Joy's Kitty Misty.

I asked Kay-Kay if she wanted to hold Madelyn.  At first she said, "Well, I'm kind of afraid of her."  :-)  LOL.  I'm not sure why.  She finally agreed to sit with Joy and hold the baby.  She's honestly not sure what to do with a baby.  She doesn't know how to interact or what to do because babies don't talk or do things like other people.  :-)

She (Kay) is a sweetie anyway even though she was terribly worried that Maddie would "chew your [my] fingers" (not sure where that came from but she was obssessively worried about that and very impressed when Madddie didn't chew anyone's fingers).  I said that Maddie was a vegetarian but of course that little bit of humor was lost on Kaelyn.  :-)

Out to lunch with the girls.  :-)

Magic Kingdom

After we finished our character breakfast at Magic Kingdom, we spent the rest of the day in the park of course.

Kay back in Frontierland.

Kaelyn had Jessie sign her hat this time.

In the Toy Story movies, Andy has his name on the bottom of Woody and Buzz's boot/shoes.  Kaelyn has wanted Woody's name on the bottom of her boot since she's had the costume.  So we had Woody sign the bottom of one of her boots this time.

Jessie knelt down and helped Kaelyn put both her hat and the boot back on.  It was quite cute.

Besides signing his name, Woody wrote "Hey Howdy Hey"  which is one of the phrases the Woody toy in the movie said when his string was pulled.

This is on the "raft" over to Tom Sawyer's Island.

Raft ride to Tom Sawyer's Island.

We had put Kaelyn's Jessie costume on her for when she saw Jessie and Woody but she wanted to wear it for awhile.  It went along perfectly with the the fort and scenery on Tom Sawyer's island.

I LOVE this one!!!  There's just something about it...

This wall is partly whitewashed based off the Tom Sawyer story and it says "Tom (hearts) Becky"  (as in Becky Thatcher of course)  Kaelyn thought it was pretty cool that my name is painted on the fence.  :-)

A view of Thunder Mountain [roller coaster] from the island.

Fort Langhorn on Tom Sawyer island.  Does the name of the fort ring a bell?  Langhorn - as in Samuel LANGHORN Clemons, who wrote Tom Sawyer.

Sentry duty.  :-)

The fort

Like I said, perfect background for the costume.

My sweetie and I on the Dumbo ride - such and adorable pair!  ;-)

Love this one - Wyatt loved this ride!

Flying high.  Notice my hat on the ground.  :-)  And yes, I did get it back.

John and Wyatt watching Rach get ready to ride Alice's teacups.

If you're wondering, John, Kevin, nor myself do "spinny rides" but Rach likes them.  We figured Kay would do okay with them.  Kevin decided to give it a whirl - ha, ha get it? - and he said it wasn't that bad.  Anyway, that's why Rach, Kev, and Kay were the only ones riding.

Wyatt and Kay having a light sabre fight.

Jedi warrior.

Ha ha!  Don't ask.  Never mind, you don't have to ask, I'll tell you.  :-)  We were in a little area of the park that isn't being used for anything right now so we were just letting the kids run around and we were relaxing.  Kay and I took her stuffed Pooh and Wyatt's Pooh and we were throwing them both and catching them at the same time.  A great practice in coordination.

Me on the astro orbiter.

Wyatt and I waiting to see Mickey and Minnie.

This was the first time (other than Piglet) that Wyatt got brave enough to go near a character.

Waiting for the Mainstreet Electrical Parade to start.

Wyatt has fallen in love with Mickey and Minnie.

Watching the parade - I think this picture is very cute!
