Walt Disney World!

Two weeks ago we took a lovely trip Walt Disney World!  Every summer we try to do a get-together with Becky's parents, her siblings and their families, and this year it just happened to be at one of the happiest places on earth (I must say "one of the" because we are now pretty big Disneyland fans, too).  We never really considered ourselves to be a "big" family, but now with spouses and five grandkids thrown into the mix, I guess we have turned into quite the big group!

We stayed at the All-Star Sports resort (cuz ya know, we're such big athletes).  It was perfect - all of our rooms were right by each other, there was a big pool, and it had a great food court.

O for Olivia!

We started out our trip by going to Epcot!  Olivia's favorite part was visiting Nemo in The Seas exhibit.

Yay, a group photo!

The next day we had lots of fun at Animal Kingdom.  We went to a petting zoo area and Olivia loved meeting the goats and sheep.

It took her a minute to warm up to it...

Digging for dinosaur bones with cousins Kyla and Logan

Yup, it was pretty bright...

Lovin' on Baby Cal!

We then headed to Magic Kingdom, which was probably our favorite park.  It was really fun to see all the new stuff in Fantasyland.

People Movers!!

In the afternoon, Olivia and cousin Lindy decided to take a break from the Florida heat by playing and dancing in some misters in Tomorrowland.  They got pretty soaked!

On Sunday we took it easy by having a little "family home evening" time and visiting a couple other resorts. 

At the Art of Animation resort

The next day we went to Hollywood Studios.  It was like coming back home to North Hollywood :) ok, not really.  

Funny faces at Toy Story Midway Mania

There's nothin' better than eating a giant Mickey-shaped cookie the size of your face.

Our last day we visited Downtown Disney and went to good ol' Magic Kingdom again.

Meeting her favorite, Ariel!

And just like that, our trip was over!  We had a lot of fun, but it went by way too fast.  Besides eating yummy Disney food and going on awesome rides, the best part was Olivia getting to play with her cousins.  We hope we can all get together again rill soon!
