For Spring Break this year, we went on a Disney Cruise & then did a couple days at Disney World before heading back home. It was so, so fun!
{all smiles headed to the airport!}
{we left on a Thursday right after school & spent the night in Cape Canaveral before boarding the ship the next morning}
Cruising means lots of desserts!
{Disney's Lookout Cay}
{celebrating Hadley's birthday a few days early on the cruise!}
(Jack Sparrow}
{a rainstorm blew through Castaway Cay towards the end of our afternoon there, so we spent a couple hours in their covered outdoor area playing games!}
{pirate night capped off with fireworks from the ship!}
{Hadley & Brady learned how to play shuffleboard on this cruise & spent a lot of time here playing!}
{Shelby & I spent a glorious afternoon reading on the balcony together}
{Hadley brought a pair of jewelry pliers in her carry-on bag on the ship, which got confiscated....apparently they're worried about people trying to disassemble the boat?! She was very happy to be reunited them when we disembarked!}
After we got off the boat, we headed straight to the parks! Even though we have been to Disney World & Disneyland lots of times with the kids, we realized this was our first time staying on property at Disney World/going to multiple parks {we've done lots of quick day trips to Magic Kingdom in recent years} since the girls were 5 and 3...and Brady had never been to any of the Disney World parks other than Magic Kingdom. So lots of fun was had!!!
{Waiting in a long line, so Hadley unlaced her shoes and fingerknitted with the laces}
We loved Toy Story Land in Hollywood Studios...this was our first time experiencing it & we loved it so, so much! The Slinky coaster was a big hit for all of us!
After a morning at Hollywood Studios, we headed over to Disney Springs to meet up with a friend of Shelby's from Alaska who was also visiting Disney World! We rode the Disney Skyliner for the first time ever to get there & thought that was so fun!
{this sign was posted at the base of the Skyliner, which we were so tickled by since we just got off our cruise!}
{playing games while we waited in line..these kids are the best!}
{flash back to our first photo op with the Mickey statue in the Shades of Green hotel}
So hard to believe we only have three more Spring Breaks left with Shelby before she graduates...time is flying!
