Disney World 2013- Day 1- Travel Day

Eric and I had this trip planned for about 9 months.  We decided to keep it a secret and surprise the boys.  It was the best decision we made.  The boys had absolutely no clue.  We did an awesome job of keeping it a secret.  My parents went with us and they were another surprise. We got the kids out of school around lunchtime (they thought they were going to the orthodontist) and gave them their magic bands to open in the car.  They were confused at first, then little Henry figured it out.  If you could have seen their little faces.  It was excitement to the extreme.  We then headed to the airport to meet Gran Jan and Pop.  A big thanks to Grandma and Granddaddy for giving us the airplane tickets!  If not then we would have made the long, very long drive to Orlando.  Thank goodness for that!  When we got to the gate Gran Jan and Pop were hiding behind newspapers.  We sat right in front of them.  It literally took a few minutes before my boys knew they were there.  Then they had another surprise and were so excited.  It was truly the best surprise ever!  We had the most magical trip and made some wonderful memories that we will cherish forever.  I hope you enjoy ALL the pictures!  Trust me there will be a ton!  Oh, the boys kept saying all day that they felt like they were dreaming!  How sweet is that!

 

 

 

 

 

Henry has just figured it out at this point that those people across from us were Gran Jan and Pop.  Foster still has no clue and Walker is pleasantly surprised.  I think it still took all 3 a minute to figure out what was going on!



Foster's first plane ride and he did amazing!  He wanted to sit by his brother and was great!

At the Orlando airport and Foster thinks this is Disney World!  Little does he know!

On the bus from the airport to our hotel.  You can just see the pure excitement in the faces!

Front yard football

The boys love playing a little football game.  This is a usual afternoon at our house!

 

Walker and Grandma Golfing

Walker's sport for the fall is Golf.  He is a pretty good golfer naturally but hasn't been out on course as much as we would like.  He has done several golf camps and has done outstanding.  So Eric and I came up with this idea.  His grandma is an avid golfer.  She golfs all the time and wins tournaments.  Golfing definitely runs in Eric's family.  Eric used to go play a good bit with his grandparents when he was growing up and had the best time and of course made the best memories.  With all that said, Walker is golfing twice a week with Grandma.  She comes and gets him on Monday's and Thursday's at 5 and they do not get home until around 8 or so.  She lives at Traditions of Braselton so they go there and play around 13 holes.  They try to get in as many as they can before it gets dark.  Walker is really, really enjoying this.  I think Grandma is enjoying it as much as he is.  She loves having the one on one time with him.  It is truly a great thing and Walker is starting to love the game!  Golf runs in the blood of Eric's family.  I really need to pick up the game especially with 3 boys.  Maybe one day!  I love this thing we have going on and I love more than that the memories that they are making!  Thanks Grandma!

 

 

 

Sesame Street Live

One of Foster's Birthday presents were tickets to Sesame Street Live in Greenville.  Aunt Kim and Uncle Mason, Mac, and JL gave this to him.  Just let me tell you, Foster was so excited.  He always wants to go see where all the characters on TV and in books live.  He will always say, "I go there one day".  So this time we actually got to take him to see Elmo.  He even had to take some chocolate chip cookies in a little bag to give to Cookie Monster.  That was so cute.  I will say that his age is the best age for something like this.  He sat through the entire show and was so amazed.  Thanks Walker's for this awesome gift!  It is one that he will never forget!

 

Cupcakes at Foster's School

I took cupcakes into Fosters class the week after his party.  He was so excited and so sweet.  The children were precious and sweet.  They all ran up to me and hugged me.  I could have just eaten the little ones.  I can't wait for all the little preschool parties this year!!

 

Foster's First Dentist Appointment

Foster's First dentist appointment went Awesome!  He loved it and was such a big boy.  He sat in the chair all by himself and was the cutest thing.  He had no cavities which I was surprised.  He eats way to much candy!  Good Job Foster!

 

 

Henry's Lacrosse

 

Henry headed to his first Lacrosse game of the season.  We were not able to go because we had a wedding to go to.  He said that he had a blast!  Go Henry
