Crashing Dad's Business Trip to WDW

The spur of the moment last minute trip idea... hey, let's crash Dad's business trip to Walt Disney World!  YAY! say the younglings! (Sarah and Ben were camping with Papa - It will be made up to them.)

 The bus to the hotel.

 POP resort

 We MUST jump on the beds!  We HAVE to!

 WDW-Disney Studios - Looks like Dad's work.

 They shook the milk to make their own milkshakes! HAHAHA!

 This was a fun roller-coaster!

 The umbrella was a fail... Ponchos are a must in the Florida weather!

 Even the elephants came out to play!

 One advantage to going to Animal Kingdom in the rain, the animals come out!  Here's Mufasa.

 Pool time and dessert!

At Magic Kingdom

 Em in pirate chains

 Raining and Splash Mountain, sure, why not?!

The humidity is so high, the kids drew on the hotel windows everyday!

Sarah and Ben went with Papa up to Courtwright and fished, read books, and just relaxed.  Grammy went, too.
