Preschool Halloween

Molly's Preschool had a fun Halloween Party one day then the next, they went to the Pumpkin Patch.

All 7 of the kids in her preschool. So cute, I asked Brianna (Superman) if she was Superwoman. She looked at me a little disgusted and shook her head for me to keep guessing. So, I guessed Superman. Huge smile across her face and she nodded yes. She is too cute.

Smile pretty Molly!

Foster loved the maze. I loved it more because it kept him contained.

Last Day -- Saturday

Our last day was Saturday. The vote was to go back to Magic Kingdom. It was way more crowded than when we went on Monday. We only stayed about 5 hrs to hit things we missed the first time. Then we headed to the pool for some R&R. What a great vacation to be able to go on. What was greater was the company we were with.

The whole Clan (minus Elder Brian Walton)

Splash Mountain one last time.


All the girls at the pool.


Learning to swim


Safety First

Friday -- Epcot Center

Epcot was a really cool place. We walked around all the countries for most of the day. It was fun to see the characters in each of their countries.
WARNING: lots of pictures

Family Photo

Mike and Alice. She made a special permission for Mike to take a picture with her even when she was walking away with her escort. Did anyone get her number?




Missing only a few of the younger cousins with Mary Poppins


Here, Belle is stalling because she is waiting for the Beast to return. I think this was Molly's favorite.


And he's back. Surprisingly, Molly wasn't too nervous with the Beast standing there.



Molly and cousin, Megan.


In Morocco, Molly was dressed to dance. It was pretty cute watching her try to belly dance.


The Boys


Fos in Italy



Snow White was found in Germany. She acted the part pretty good with all her giggles.


We found the 7 Dwarfs


Donald in Mexico.....but of course


Aunt Amy with Molly and cousin Annie in Minnie's house.


Trying to decide which souvenir she wanted to buy. We didn't get the ears....or anything else. Poor Molly has tight-wad parents.


Molly and Cinderella


How many people does it take to change a diaper in uncomfortable grass?


Sasha pose in Canada

Thursday -- Hollywood Studios

Thursday was Hollywood Studios Day. Lots of fun things to see and fun rides to ride. Most the adults with kids took turns watching kids and then riding. We had lots of fun at this park too. I shouldn't wait this long to post because now I can't remember some of the ride names.

The Rock n Roll Roller Coaster.......Super Fun!

Scared to go into the Tower of Terror (I think that was the name)


Molly and cousins, Annie and Leah


We must have just worn these kids out. They fell asleep during the loudest show. This was a way cool show of how movies are made with stunt cars and drivers, etc.

Mike was trying out for the Power Ranger position. As you can see, his hand was a fist instead of karate chop. Unfortunately, he did not make the cut. Maybe next year Mike.

Day Off

Wednesday we took the day off from going to Parks and just hung out at the pool and hotel rooms. These are the only two photos we got from that day...........what great photographers we are!

Animal Kingdom

Day two was at Animal Kingdom. It was a fun day...so much fun that we must have forgotten to take pictures (these are basically the only ones we took).



Playing at the bone yard.

On the safari ride looking at the elephants....

...the elephants!

Magic Kingdom

When one person mentions they are going somewhere and puts the invitation for everyone to join, we all hop on board. We were so thrilled when Chris and Lisa decided to go to Disney World. It didn't take much convincing for us to figure out a way to be there too. We knew we wanted to go some day and what better time to go than with cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents. Everyone helped out everyone.
When we purchased our plane tickets, we called Scott's sister Amy to see if she wanted on the same flight. Thank goodness she was there, she was a lot of help with bags and kids. We flew into Daytona Beach and rented a car. We had an expired free upgrade coupon that we thought we'd try and use. The lady helping Scott was nice enough to not even look at the expiration date and gave us a mini van. It worked out perfect. Two kids, three adults, luggage, stroller and car seats take up a lot of room and we were grateful to have the extra space.
We drove the 75 mins to the hotel and were greeted by excited cousins and aunts and uncles. It was so much fun watching all the cousins embrace each other as they have not been together for several months. EVERYONE was picking up EVERYONE!
Scott's parents and brother, Mike got there a little after us and the party officially began. Scott's youngest brother is on his mission and was the only Walton not there.
Monday was up early to head to Magic Kingdom. It always takes a little longer than you expect when you are dealing with 20 people. But, we got there in good time and spent the ENTIRE day at the park. It was so magical to be there and see Molly's excitement.

We had just entered Magic Kingdom.......so much excitement already, she could hardly contain herself

Just to show it didn't stop all day, the pointing and oohing and awing.

Swiss Family Robinson Tree House


I can show you the world..... Magic Carpet Ride


Scott LOVED the tea cups and it put Fos to sleep


All the cousins and Princess Jasmine. The princesses all did such a great job at acting the part. It was fun for Molly to see all of them.




I can't remember what she just noticed, but here we are at the main street parade. It was a great way to see all the characters and princesses. Molly loved it!


Truly truly a magical kingdom


We got a few pictures of the cousins together!


Dad and Fos on the carousel


Another one of Molly's favorites.

A few of the cousins in the posing Dumbo display. Great way to get a shot without them being blurry.
Cousin Megan and Molly......too cute!
