The Powers' Take Over Disney World

To the many, many people that I know follow this blog...I apologize for the time that has gone by since my last update. But I have a good excuse! We went to DISNEY WORLD!!! I know, I thought we were crazy for taking a 2 year old too, but it was way less painless than I tought it would be. Of course it helped that we took Nana and Papaw with us! (Lots more people to trade him off to.)
We left last Friday night, and got there with a nice long evening to enjoy in Orlando. Brady got a big kick out of his first BIG airplane ride, but it was hard for him to understand that he needs to sit still. We stayed in the Dolphin hotel, which is right down the road from all the parks. It's a beautiful hotel, and I highly recommend it! After we got settled in we went and had dinner with some real characters...LOL. After our filling up on the wonderful buffet we decided to jump right in and go straight to the Magic Kingdom. The kids had a blast, and Jolee ended up remembering a lot from her first time to Disney when she was 4.
Here are some highlights from our first night in Disney!

Brady and me...he looks very serious in most pictures because he's trying to assess everything that's going on around him
