We're FINALLY back from our 7 day Disney World vacation. All I can say is.."whew." We had an absolute blast and while I thought the 7 days was going to be way to long for the little guy, it was just enough. I can't even begin to tell you how good he was in the car coming and going....I really expected it to be a nightmare. It did help that on the way to Orlando, he rode with Nana and Pop about half of the way....they would never really tell us the truth about if he was good or bad either...he's always good in the eyes of a grandparent! ha! We dreaded coming home remembering the last time we made that drive, Peyton was 8 months old and had his first stomach bug....not a pleasant trip. This trip proved to be totally different and he did great. Everyday at the parks he was for the most part adaptable. He took naps in his stroller when he got tired and surprisingly actually wanted to ride in his stroller as opposed to walking....that was a huge shocker for me. Now he did have his moments where he wanted to walk and that usually ended in tears because he's not the best listener. He wouldn't wear his "leash" and I was petrified I'd lose him. All in all it was a successful trip. Peyton had even more fun at the parks than I expected. He seemed star struck at ever character and was obsessed with riding trains and carousels. Animal Kingdom was by far my favorite and I was totally shocked to find Peyton sound asleep on the safari. I woke him up for the elephants because he had asked for 2 days to see "bumbo". On our last day there we took Peyton to Disney Hollywood Studios. What a dream come true for him. He got to meet his idols....The Incredibles and Buzz and Woody from Toy Story. He was completely star struck with both, but I think Buzz and Woody were his favorites. After he met them and had his picture taken he plastered himself to the window and just watched them. It was so sweet. Anyways, I could write all day about how much fun we had with Nana, Pop, Amy, Josh and of course, sweet Abby (she kept us entertained!). I know you all came here for the pictures so here we go. Grab a comfy place to sit!!

Ok the next 2 pictures are from the Safari...I had to put them on here just so you could see how close we were to the animals...nothing was separating us!
Peyton LOVES the Jungle Book
Animal Kingdom
This was at Sea World...he would not take his sunglasses off that day
After playing in the sand box at Sea World...they were rinsing off
Some random character at Sea World...he is definitely not intimidated by characters
Not happy we were leaving the hotel...we had this giant Roger Rabbit by our room and everyday he wanted to play with it....and always mad when we had to leave
The famous $10 balloon from Magic Kingdom...we got the Monday and it's STILL inflated people!
On the train!
Riding the race cars with Daddy
Time for an icee break
This is from our Character Dining lunch...he got to see Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet..or as he calls him.."Piggy". For some reason this is the only picture I have :-(
Would you look at that mess!! Mac and Cheese baby..it's his favorite, but we needed a wardrobe change after this.
This is for you Paw...ALWAYS stopped to smell the "roses"!!
"Bumbo!!!"
How sweet are they?
This is when we first got to Magic Kingdom on our first day...if you know Peyton you know that the hands in the mouth is out of uncertainty. He does that when he's nervous..it didn't last long.
