These are some pictures from the Enchanted Tales with Belle. This was a super fun experience for everyone to interact with Belle.  Kaleigh got chosen to be THE BEAST!  She had to roar at Belle and even got to dance with Belle in the end.  Dustin and Adam were chosen to be the knights of the castle!

Dinner at Whispering Canyon CafĂ©.  Notice all of the Ketchup on the table.  This place is crazy!  If you need ketchup, your table must yell, “WE NEED KETCHUP” and everyone in the restaurant brings ketchup from their table to yours!109_0101

After dinner, we went back to Magic Kingdom and rode Splash Mountain and then Thunder Mountain.

MK_SPLASH_74676108631

The lines were short so we opted to ride Splash Mountain one more time before going back to the room, well, that may have been a mistake for sister, she sure had fun but threw up all in this car while we were waiting to unload.  I told the ride attendant and they brought over a wash rag to clean up.  She quickly determined that a wash rag wasn’t going to work and just sent the car on again empty!MK_SPLASH_7467634761

DAY TWO:  ANIMAL KINGDOM

Kaleigh even asked to ride tower of terror TWICE!!  Top picture she’s I the bottom right and bottom pictures she’s behind the lady in the blue shirt!  Once she got over the fact that it was just a scary story, she LOVED the actual ride part!  Why can’t they have fun rides without the scary story lines! LOL!

Mandi and I managed to trick the kids and dads into trying the “Beverly” at the Epcot drink station.  Needless to say it’s not so yummy!20150925_125801

Finally they found some they liked!  Right before Kara spilt her red juice all over the place and then we quickly left the area!  LOL!20150925_130402

Thankfully this was our only rainy day!!  These rain suits were not so fun!!  20150925_151846

(I’m not sure Dustin and Adam would call it that or not!)

The girls collected princess autographs and Alec collected pressed pennies!  He loved looking for these machines!20150923_214254

First ride on the monorail!  Note to self, the Epcot monorail doesn’t go everywhere you think it should!  We were an our late to dinner at the California Grill due to a monorail mix up!  LOL!20150923_220249

First Day of Second Grade and K-4!

Time please slow down, before my babies are grown! 

Today was Alec’s first day of Second Grade with Mrs. Purser at Sumrall Elementary!  We requested her as our teacher and are so blessed to be in her room!  We look forward to this school year!  She has known Alec since his first day at Sumrall, she says he looks like her little boy who is now 17 and she likes to call Alec her “Little Andrew”.

First Day of Second Grade 2015

And Kaleigh’s First Day of K-4 at River of Life was Monday in Mrs. Tonya’s room.  I can’t believe we’re almost finished at River of Life, next year she’s excited to go to school with Big Brother at Sumrall.

First Day of K-4jpg
