Day 5: Cocoa Beach

It was a nice relaxing day in Cocoa Beach... we used this time to recover from our Disney all nighter.

Andrew and Avery dug into the sand looking for shells... yes, DUG into the sand.

& Drake played in the surf...

Colten & I hung out under the umbrella and took pictures.

Day 4: The Magic Kingdom

The day belonged to Princess Avery and began in the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique located in Cinderella's Castle.

She had her hair and nails done, and everyone (I mean everyone!) oohed & ahhed at her dress and sllippers. One cast member stopped me and said " working here everyday for 10 years, I see alot of dresses but this is the best one I have ever seen".

After her appointment Avery caught up with the Fairy Godmother (who, afterwards, spoke right to her from the float during the parade). 







During the parade, we enjoyed some popscicles. Cinderella waved to Avery and Ariel blew her a kiss!

After the parade, we met with Cinderella and she told Avery how she had heard so much about her from Fairy Godmother. It was great!    

The night belonged to Drake.
After dinner, outside of the kingdom, we went back in for round 2. Because the day had been so HOT and crowded, it was hard to stand in line to get on many rides. Thanks to FASTPASS, and most normal people taking their kids home for a good night sleep, (not us!) we were able to maximize the ride experience. Drake rode pretty much everything in the park, worth talking about - his favorite was of course Space Mountain. Avery's favorite ride was Splash Mountain and Colten's was a tie between Monster's Inc scare floor (he laughed and bounced alot) and It's a small world (he was very still and looking at everything).

We spent a total of 16 hours at the park and it was worth it! It was a great time and I am so glad that we were able to share this as a family and enjoy each other at Disney World. It was a magical day for sure!

Day 3: Cocoa Beach

Today was a relaxing day! We chartered a boat and went on a nature tour to a remote island where we saw a sting ray, baby sea turtle, jellyfish, a school of other fish, lots of different birds, dolphins, gators, manatees, and collected some really cool shells.

We topped off our night with some sunset kite flying on the beach.... it was awesome!!!

Avery had a Parrot and Drake had a Discovery Space Shuttle

Day 2: Cocoa Beach

What another BEAUTIFUL day at the beach,

We built a sand castle...

played in the waves...

collected seashells and even  buried the kids in the sand...  

Colten loved it so much... he kept eating it!

Day 1: Cocoa Beach

After the morning rain... the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. We checked out the beach and since The Easter Bunny came early for Drake, Avery &  Colten bringing disney shirts, giftcards, candy, beach toys & alot of How to train your Dragon stuff, along with a movie giftcard, we took the hint and went to see it on our first day in Cocoa Beach - Great movie!
