Isi eyes

These eyes!

Fat Tuesday

Oh yes, they ate all the candy in the house. I've got a strong-stomached bunch- no vomiting yet!

We had mock hurricanes, and Nora was Queen!

Tooth

Tessa finally lost that wiggly front tooth! Now the other one is loose and she is excited for a giant gap.

More Trip Pictures

 I stole some pictures from McCarstons and Justin!

Justin and Lisa took little kids to a dance party. Bernadette loved it too!

Walking to our first EPCOT priority, Finding Nemo. It was not popular and we walked on twice,

then spent time at the aquarium

Getting ready for a 3D ride

Here's the elusive skyliner!

This is what it looks like from the side. Some adults and big kids went back to EPCOT at night.

We waited a long time for our rooms at universal, and kids played. Charlie had a phone, and Isi had a water bottle. (Update! That baby is not Isi. That baby is Bernadette. There's also Tessa and Noah, but no Isi.)

Bus ride!

Everything at Harry Potter world was super realistic and believable. The train and station seemed like we were in London.

Universal

We found the Wizarding World of Harry Potter amazing and very immersive.

Here James is in the wizard bank.

We rode the Hogwarts Express several times.

This was one of the only thing babies could go on

Kelsey and James are Secret Keepers for 12 Grimmauld Place

Nora, Tessa, and I also went to Gringotts

We went to Ollivander's Wand Shop where James was chosen to have a wand pick him. It was a very good presentation, and more fun when it's your kid.

They successfully sold us interactive wands and the kids had a blast being magic with them. (There are spots with tiny cameras marked, and when you make wand motions they do things)

The Knight bus head talks to you and asks questions.

Ready to enter Dumbledore's office!

Dr Seuss land was a big hit with the younger kids. One fish two fish gets you a bit wet, nice on a hot afternoon. Unsurprisingly, Nora got not at all wet and Tessa got soaked.

Storytime!

We met the Grinch.

Isi got sunglasses and wore them charmingly upside down all week. This isn't actually from Universal, because she woke up early Thursday morning with a double ear infection and had to go to urgent care. She wasn't up to amusement parks for the next two days. We were glad she wasn't invested in this park.

CarouSeussel was for babies too!

Cousins!

 

EPCOT

EPCOT is mostly pretty old fashioned, but we had a great time. Lots of rides we could all get on (with no wait!), even the baby.

We got a partial family photo.

This was from Monday, but still. Super Grandpa!

We rode the Finding Nemo ride twice, and then a highlight for Lucy was their incredible aquarium.

We were riding Ratatouille when it broke down, so we got a picture of being rat-sized.

Despite having the photo pass, we only got one group picture.

Italy! There was gelato.
