Our Epic Family Vacation 2015 - Part 1

 In November 2015, we boarded a plane with Nana, Papa, The Johnsons, The Botts and the Rosenbaums bound for Orlando, Florida! It was Disneyworld or BUST!!!

 With that big of group, we figured a house would be the best way to go.  It was such a great choice! The kids loved the Disney-themed rooms, the game room in the garage (despite the fact that it was crawling with cockroaches) and they especially loved our own private pool and hot tub in the back yard.  In fact, Klive's favorite part of the whole insanely expensive trip is still the stupid pool!

 There was plenty of room for lounging around, playing games and watching television, but there was never any time for that - we packed every day with fun and adventure!

 We headed to Disney's Magic Kingdom on the first day!

 On the surface, it looked a lot like Disneyland - our home away from home.  But we managed to find a few differences!

 We gave the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train a whirl.  The general consensus was it was fun - but we still like Thunder Mountain better!

 We enjoyed a quick lunch.  I took home this lovely county bears jug of lemonade!

 The teacups are always a crowd-pleaser!
We made a few splashes on the mountain.

Space mountain is a bit of a rough ride in Florida!

We suffered some whiplash!

And we just kept going back for more punishment!

Well, a few of us did.

This looks like it was an intense battle between Ry and Andrew!

 June gave me the ride (whiplash) of my life in Autopia.  Good thing she's got a few years before she gets her license!

 We came, we saw, we conquered!

 The magic was there, but it's got nothing on California's Disneyland!
