Another Magical Magic Kingdom Day!

Our first stop this morning was to say hi to Mickey again...

High fives all around!

Mickey was so excited to see AJ again!

Double high five!

The whole gang with their favorite pal, Mickey

Next we were off to take a picture with the castle....

And so did the Radachy clan!

And the Kocon clan...

And the entire Sevigny-Kocon-Radachy clan!

Whoa... she's holding Tinkerbell! How cool!

Then we were on our way to ride Aladdin's Magic Carpet Ride when we saw Peter Pan!

Waiting in line to meet Mr. Pan!

Look at those eyes... he was staring Peter Pan down!

'Ummm... who are you? You have a feather in your cap!'

Still not so amused by Peter Pan!

We finally made it to Aladdin's Carpet Ride!

Then we were lucky enough to meet Princess Jasmine and Aladdin!

They were super excited when they found out what AJ's name was -

 his initials are the same as Aladdin and Jasmine's!

At least he's looking at the camera this time!

But still not impressed!

Then we made our way over to the speedway....

Daddy and AJ making their way into their red car.

Almost ready to go...

Still waiting for the green light...

...And they're off!

Uncle Jason and Allie saying hi!

Allie behind the wheel?! Watch out!

Then it was my turn with my little Katie-Bug!

Hi from Blue 14!

Next we made our way to Dumbo!

AJ absolutely loved everything about Dumbo... the ride itself...

...the inside waiting area!

...the slides!

Meeting Daddy at the end of the slide!

Making his way to the top of the slide...

He made it out!

Playing with the light up rockets!

He loved the sounds and lights.

Couldn't get enough.

Peekaboo from way up high!

Making his way to the slide again...

Almost there...

He did it!

Next we went to the Haunted Mansion.. one of Mommy's favorite rides!

Checking out the 'grave' yard

Playing the fake piano that would play music when you touched it.

After the Haunted Mansion we decided to sit down for lunch.  While eating our yummy food at Peco's Bill Cafe, Babcia received a phone call from an odd number on her cell phone.  Lucky for us, we answered it and listened.  Southwest Airlines was calling and suggesting we change our flight due to the impending blizzard back home.  After some discussion, a few searches of flights on our iPhones and a long call to Southwest, we ended up changing our flight to tomorrow (cutting our vacation short a day early!) to miss the storm.  This completely put a damper on our mood, but we made sure to try and lift our spirits and enjoy all the fun we could take in on our last day at the Magic Kingdom and in Florida.

Still a little bummed about having to cut our vacation short (as seen on Michael's face behind Katie), but it was time for Thunder Mountain! Katie requested Baba to sit with her this time!

I love love love this action shot.  I know it's blurry, but the expressions it shows are priceless!

I think she liked it!

While the boys went off and took the big kids on rides, Mommy, Babcia, Cioci Kimmy and Maddie went shopping on Main Street USA.  We also opted for a night-time castle pic.

Work it ladies!

I love this castle.

Beautiful.

All lit up with Walt and his mouse.

Cioci Kimmy did an awesome job with these nighttime pics.

'Celebrate the Magic' is a show that uses the castle as a projection screen of sorts.  The ingenuity of these Disney Imagineers simply amazes me.  The photos don't even do this amazing production any justice. 

The big top from New Fantasyland.

Last photo of our day at Magic Kingdom before the fireworks lit up the sky again!

Another Relaxing Day

Today's relaxing day started out with a quick bath in the whirlpool tub!

Looking oh-so-thrilled that I'm taking his picture this early in the morning. 

Look.. it's my feet!

After his bath, AJ and his cousins along with Dziadzi and Mommy went down to the pond to feed the ducks. 

At first there was only a couple of birds who were interested...


But then the other birds and ducks realized what was going on....


They got a bit closer...


One of them almost walked right up to the girls!


Now look at all of them coming over...


AJ and Allie were so proud of themselves for feeding the birds and ducks.


Going to get some more bread from Dziadzi


'Eat the bread ducks!!'


Yes.. he was clapping for himself cause he was so excited!


'Look at you Mr. Duck!'


This picture cracks me up.. it looks like the duck and AJ are about to share a kiss!


Uh oh.. bread on the ground!


Hello there ducks!


So excited!


I loved seeing the excitement on all of their faces!


AJ and Allie watching as some of the birds and ducks went back into the pond.


Allie.. my little goofball!


Classic Allie!


Bye Mr. Duck!

Once the duck feeding was over, the kiddos wandered over tot he hammock again where I was able to get a quick shot!


Then it was off to the playground again where Daddy and Babcia joined us!


Being a big boy and going down the slide all by himself!


Weee!


Doesn't he look so excited?!


Now it was time for the BIG slide!


Daddy gave him a little big of encouragement along with Katie who was behind him and he did it!


Next it was Katie's turn down the spiral slide!


And Allie followed suit!


Then it was time to go back to our rooms...

Allie had to get her stitches removed and AJ needed to take a nap.  The past couple of nights AJ hasn't been sleeping well at all; we're chalking it up to him being in a new place and a new crib.  He'll wake up in the middle of the night crying and screaming so we'll take him into our bed where he will eventually calm down and go to sleep.  Needless to say though, he's been quite tired with his interrupted nights of sleep!  Lucky for him - today was a rest day and he got to take an awesome afternoon nap.  I was able to snap a few pictures of him snoozing away in our big bed during his late-morning nap.

Laying on Mommy

Sweetly sleeping

All cuddled up

After naptime, we met up with everyone else who was at the pool.  This time I had Daddy join him in the water and they had lots of fun!

Heading to the kids splash pad!

He wasn't too big of a fan of it though...

So off they went into the deeper end.

But only deep enough where AJ could stand on his own!

Holding Daddy's hand.

Next it was time for a jump...

Ready....

Set....

Go!!

Mid jump!

And he made it!

As the afternoon rolled on, we headed back to our rooms where we got ready for a dinner date with my college friend Shelly and her husband, Jolyon.  We dropped off Baba and Dziadzi at Downtown Disney and then headed to Tijuana Flat's (a yummy mexican restaurant) with Shelly and Jolyon!

Thanks to Shelly for taking this adorable pic of our little one!

Like Father, Like Son
