Disney World, June 2010

Here comes picture overload of our Fink Family Vacation to Disney World in Orlando, Florida during the first week of June. Isaac, who will be three in October, had a blast!! We were very excited for Isaac--knowing that he would actually understand and appreciate all the rides and shows a lot more. When Isaac saw the castle in Magic Kingdom he dropped his jaw and said, "Wow!" It was so priceless! So DAY ONE (MONDAY) spent at Magic Kingdom during the day and Hollywood Studios at night.
Taylor was so good to take Isaac on Dumbo. The line for this ride was ridiculous!
"It's a Small World"

"Mickey's PhilharMagic" 3D show



"Buzz Lightyear"
On the Disney Bus--this picture shows Isaac's personality! Lil stinker!
At Hollywood Studios they opened a new ride "Toy Story" --we loved it!!! Isaac refers to Mr. Potato Head as "oto head"
The ride is also 3D
DAY 2, TUESDAY: Hollywood Studios & ...I don't remember what we did at night...
We started the morning with Playhouse Disney Character Breakfast. Isaac was so terrified of the characters at first, when they came up to the table he freaked out and didn't want to touch them. Then they turned on music and started dancing, so he and I went up to dance with Handy Manny and Isaac warmed up to them a lot. And, still to this day, he continues to talk about all the characters he met and loves to look at their "autographs" but it is so funny because it was what he was most scared of the whole trip.

After breakfast we went to Beauty & the Beast and then to a Live Playhouse Disney show--again, Isaac loved it!!! It was perfect for his age!!

Downtown Disney--they have a stage and let all the kids dance to music--it was so fun!
DAY 3, WEDNESDAY: Pool & Animal Kingdom
Here we are on the Animal Safari

Love this picture of my mom!
Our hotel had the coolest slides!! This was the "baby slide"

This was the "big slide"

I love that I captured this of Taylor's great "form"!
Isaac getting ready to go down the big slide!! I was so shocked he went down it, but he went over and over and over again....

DAY 4, THURSDAY: I don't remember what we did during the day, but we went to Epcot at night. Heather and Isaac on the "Imagination" ride (Heather's favorite when she was a kid!)

DAY 5, FRIDAY: Man, this is why you blog soon after your trip because I don't remember what we did during the day....oh wait, I believe the boys went golfing and when they came back we went to the pool again. That night we did the extra magic hours at Magic Kingdom and watched their new "Electrical Parade" at night and then the fireworks--very cool! Here we are before the parade.


And for those of you who have stuck with this long post, you will see Isaac's shirt says "BIG BRO"....that's right!!! We announced to both our families while in Disney World that Isaac will be a big brother at the end of the year!! I am currently 14.5 weeks along and all is well. More details for another post....
Papa, Isaac and Nana on "Pirates of the Caribbean"

DAY SIX, SATURDAY: Taylor's 27th birthday!!! We went to Disney Quest during the day. Isaac with his "virtual glasses" on for the Pirate ride.

Tyson, Heather, Taylor, me and Isaac with our glasses on! haha!
That night we went to "Charley's Steakhouse" for dinner. I love this picture of Isaac and Taylor!

The whole family!!
And then on Sunday, we flew home. We had a full week in Disney World and we loved every minute of it. Isaac was surrounded by buses, trains, planes and boats--he was in heaven!! He loved the pool and the parks. We were sufficiently worn out by the end of the trip, as evidenced by this next picture which was taken of Isaac 5 minutes after getting in the car to drive home after landing in Denver.
Thanks for the great and memorable trip Nana and Papa! --Isaac :)

As Soon as I saw you had posted I just knew you were pregnant. I'm so happy for you and even though it's been a long and hard road you will see this is the best way for whatever reason Heavenly Father needed you to experience it this way. Have you been feeling good? You looked great in your FL pics so if you were sick you hid it!! I'm sad I missed you when I was in Colorado in June and I won't be back until Thanksgiving....but then Ill have a baby and you'll have a belly:) love ya
