We just returned from Hampton's first trip to Disney World. We met our family there and "brought Disney to it's knees" 4 days in a row. There were 20 of us...10 adults and 10 kids under the age of 7. We started our days early and went hard until the parks closed. Needless to say they were long days. Hampton did awesome. He enjoyed the rides that weren't loud and dark. The loud rides were a little scary...he would grab our necks tightly and burry his head on our shoulders. I think he napped better in his stroller than he does at home. We really enjoyed all the cousins. They are all unique and absolutely precious. My only regret is that I didn't get more one-on-one time with each of them. Disney World is always a blast and we look forward to our next trip, but it can be pretty exhausting.

Carrigan and Hampton playing at Animal Kingdom. Carrigan is 2 1/2 months older than Hampton.

The older cousins checkin' out the fish at Animal Kingdom.
Johnny and Rosie helped us get these shirts for all the cousins. They have their name and their number (in the order they were born) on the back. We got lots of compliments on them. The kids also got coordinating Disney shirts and goodie bags. Hampton got a red Mickey Mouse shirt...super cute.

Carrigan and Hampton napping at Magic Kingdom. When it was naptime, we would put a huge beach towel over Hampton's stroller so that he wasn't so distracted. He usually went to sleep within minutes. This particular nap lasted well over 2 hours. That never happens at home.

When he woke up from his naps, he would peek out the side between the towel and stroller to see what was happening. He never woke up crying. He napped like a pro!

Hampton and Daddy

David, Elizabeth and Kelly on Thunder Mountain.
Elizabeth is a little dare devil. She rode everything and most things more than once. She usually wanted to ride with me, but on this ride we talked her into riding with her parents. The only ride she didn't like was Tower of Terror. She cried :(

Hampton did enjoy getting out of the stroller every now and then. At the end of the day, all he wanted to do was crawl around the condo. Freedom!!

Family photo opp. at Cinderella's Castle.

Finding Nemo at Epcot.

Dinoland with Gran and Carrigan.
This ride went around in circles and up and down. They both liked the ride, but Carrigan hated the loud music. Hampton loved it because it was outside and he could feel the wind.

Look Mommy, the cars look like ants.

Such good little travelers!
