Thankful

Thankful for a wonderful Thanksgiving.... for family, friends, and health!

It is hard to believe that tomorrow is December and then comes Christmas. I am slowly getting into the Christmas spirit but before I really jump in I wanted to share these beautiful fall photos. Since it is still the last day of November I think it is a good way to finish up fall posts.... which I never really did because I was busy getting caught up with Disney pictures.

I LOVE FALL... I love the colors, the pumpkins, the warm sunny days, the cool nights, cider, apples, and everything fall.

Early in October (on a day that was unusually warm) we did our annual trip to the pumpkin farm.....

One very shiny pumpkin... which we did not get....

Thanks chicken for the bum view......

THE LAST Disney post

I should say the last post until we hopefully go again someday.

FINALLY....

AND only 6 months later...

I am done with Disney photos.....

Oh how we loved the Polynesian Resort....

The back side of the volcano pool (those stairs on the volcano lead to the water slide)....

wish I would have taken a picture of the front side....

Ty went on this so many times I lost count....

Miss Lily striking a pose.....

After sending many clients to this character buffet we wanted to try it ourselves.

Let's just say we like the Chef Mickey breakfast at Cape May a lot better.

We got here early (with reservation) and waited......... If you've been to Disney you know that getting up and going elsewhere isn't always that easy or quick.

After an hour they seated us and apologized many times for losing our reservation.

They didn't charge us for the meal which worked out nicely.

However, by the time we were seated the characters were done making their rounds for that time slot.

Needless to say it was a LONG breakfast!

Ty gets really shy around the characters.....he decided to hide

when they came around.

Miss Lily is VERY happy to meet and greet the characters.

Mickey liked that Lily had on a Minnie shirt.....

(and who can miss the family in the background.... the dad was keeping the son from running into Lily's picture)

(a little blurry) Lily and Minnie having a moment about Lily's Minnie shirt....

I could hear Lily telling Minnie that her mom's friend Robin (Red Thread Stitches) made the shirt.

Magic Kingdom... here we come...

It was HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was 100+ degrees with what felt like 100 % humidity.

It wasn't as hot as China but it was hot.

AND... I had a fever that day which I am pretty sure the sun baked out of me.

It was still a really fun day but I wasn't snapping pictures like crazy.... so.... not too many pictures of our Magic Kingdom day.

The littles were so excited to be at the Magic Kingdom but 1/2 way through the HOT day they both asked if we could spend the next few days at the Polynesian pool. So we did.....

It's A Small World....

Pirate Lily (Pirate's of the Caribbean Ride)

Polynesian Resort Lobby.....

Time to go home.......

Good bye Disney World.......

We had a great time on the Disney cruise and at the Polynesian Resort!!! Being at Disney makes ya feel like a kid again and is such a fun family place! Can't wait to go again someday!!!!!

More recent photos coming soon.....

Polynesian Resort & Luau

Believe it or not I am almost done with these Disney posts....

I love working on these pictures because it brings back such fun memories!!!

After our 4 days on the Disney Dream we headed to the Disney Polynesian Resort.

I have wanted to stay there for as long as I can remember. Jeff and I LOVE Hawaii and the Polynesian Resort really feels like Hawaii. From the music playing throughout the resort to the gorgeous Plumerias .... it just feels like Hawaii. We could have stayed so much longer!!!!!!

I've always wanted to go to the Luau at the Polynesian and for some reason we figured we would do that on the first night. Not the best plan... considering the littles were really tired!

The food was so yummy!!!!!!!!! This is just the start..... I would have taken more food pictures but I was trying to make sure Ty's head didn't fall in the food.

Here is Mr. Ty about to fall asleep... and he did fall asleep... then he had a big fit when he woke up.

But he managed to take this cute picture of Lily and dad when he calmed down.....

After the Luau the littles got their second wind.

This picture was their idea... they thought they were the hula dancers... and wanted me to get a picture of their act.

Taking a little break in the lobby to watch tv......
