Trip to Florida / Disney

David and I went to Florida at the end of September to visit my parents and grandmother. I figured since I was no longer working and found a super deal on airline tickets that I just couldn't pass up ($108 total for both of us to fly round trip to Orlando) we would take a little vacation to Florida.
We mostly hung out at my parents house so , but we did manage to go shopping and take David to Disney.
I really wanted David to see Lightning McQueen and Mater (from Cars) since we missed them last time and actually only found out they were even there a few weeks after we got back. It was a great plan except for the loud noises of the revving engines. David was so scared. He just clung to me and cried. We tried to go back later in the day, but he was still scared. Maybe next time.

David thought the funniest thing was watching people get squirted with water. He just stood here and laughed every time the water would squirt.

Here is David in front of the dump truck. He actually did stand still and pose, but my camera didn't cooperate and he took off before I could get the posed shot.

David and his grandma in front of Honey I Shrunk the kids playground. It was so hot and David refused to go down the slides by himself which meant he wanted me to go down with him.

In the afternoon we went to the Magic Kingdom. We rode the train which David really enjoyed. We visited Mickey & Minnie's houses. David loved the pumpkins in front of the houses. David was also tall enough to ride the kiddie roller coaster. We got to sit up in the front for his first roller coaster ride. I was nervous about how he would do, but he did just fine. (I got to ride next to him, which may have helped.)

We also rode the Buzz Light year ride (twice) and the people mover ride (which David called the "Blue Train.") I personally think this is about the most boring ride at Disney, but David just loved it. After that we stopped for smoothies. David drank about half of mine. He was getting tired though after such a big day and only a 45 minute nap.

We stopped at the bathrooms and when we came out it was pouring rain!! We waited for a good long while for the rain to subside (David fell asleep) and the line for the monorail to go down. Then we headed home. David did so good. He's such a trooper.
Back at grandma and grandpa's he enjoyed playing the piano and "dancing" (running in circles) around the piano.

He's so fast!!
