Disney World!

Where do I begin with Disney!  It was AMAZING!!  We were all very tired by the end of the day but we had a blast!  We left on Oct. 30th and returned Nov. 3rd.  We had 4 days and visited each park. We went to Animal Kingdom on the first day, then Magic Kingdom, next Hollywood Studios, and then ended with Epcot.  Each park was fantastic and they were all so different!  I think our favorite park was Hollywood Studios. We loved Star Wars and the park was not that crowded so we got to do so much.  Each park was phenomenal.  As a family, some of our favorite rides were Space Mountain, Tower of Terror, Haunted Mansion, Star Wars, and lets see...many many more!  We stayed at Port Orleans, Riverside which had an awesome pool.  Everything was great!  We had a great vacation together and made lots of memories the kids will never forget (hopefully!)!  These pictures are slightly out of order!

Halloween at the Parke!

We had our annual trick or treating at Nana and Pop's neighborhood the Friday before Halloween! We always look forward to trick or treating at the Parke!  This year all four of us dressed up because we were going to Disney for Halloween!  Cora and I were witches, Josh was a pirate, and Sam was Where's Waldo! The McGuire's all dressed up as Star Wars and it was great!!  The kids had a great time trick or treating with their cousins with lots of laughs, good food, and lots of candy!
