Disney Vacation

We left for Disney on Thursday after the kids got out of school on Thursday. It seemed like a slow start because it took us forever to run the last minute Montgomery errands (like the bank) before we headed out of town. We were only on the road for a little less than an hour when I look over at the car gauges while JM was driving and talking on the phone to a possible trauma recruit. I noticed the check tire pressure light was on. A year ago in our old Suburban that was a common malfunction, but it had never happened with the Suburban. I told JM to not over look that at the next stop. Well, I few minutes later I noticed a strange sound, and this is what we discovered!

Wow! It was 5pm in Troy, AL. Not a single tire service open, so we are forced to change this tire ourselves. Here we go...pull out the owners manual because we can not find the jack. About 5 minutes into our laughter because under stress you can either break down or laugh, "Mr. Goodwrench" from the local Chev dealership just happened to stop by the convenience store. He offer his assistance, and we did not refuse! Within 15 minutes, we were back on the road! Wow! It really helps when you KNOW what you are doing! The kind "angel" as we will call him refused to take anything for his services. What a blessing he was to us! It was a great teaching moment for us and our kids!

After a very LONG night, we arrived at our Disney resort at 3:30 in the morning. JM scheduled an 8:15 breakfast, so this is going to be a short night!!!

The kids were up early and ready to go. Lyndsey was so excited to go to Mickey's house, Lauren and Corynne were just ready for a day of fun, and Tyler was ready to skip the small stuff and get to Space Mountain!

We took the Monorail to Magic Kingdom.

Lyndsey's first rides were Snow Whites Adventures, It's a Small World and Dumbo! She loved them!

Get ready to spin Daddy!

And then we met a princess...awwwwww!!!!

Tyler is not as strong as he thinks!!!

Dad takes some things way to seriously. JM let your son win the BUZZ Lightyear ride just once! Well, not this year :(

Now, it was time to give the big kids some fun! Here we come Barnstormer, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, etc, etc

What a magical day...I am exhausted!!!
