The First Lost Tooth!

When Lucas turned 5 he couldn't wait to loose
a tooth. He insisted that all four of his front
teeth were loose. When nothing fell out we
were upset. Now he has finally came to this
most awaited event. WE LOST OUR FIRST TOOTH!
When he realized it would be taken by
the Tooth Fairy he decided he wanted it back.
He looked through pictures of himself to find one
with his mouth open so he could see it in
his mouth. When he couldn't find one he cried.
He isn't going to put it under his pillow just yet.
He is going to keep it for a while until he decides
he no longer needs it or want the money instead.
Which ever comes first.

Easter for the older kids

This year mom did Easter for the older kids. She got golden eggs and had Nick hid them. We each got one egg. Nick made them really hard to find. Linda found one and I found two so of course Richard got one of the.

When we opened the Richard got $50, I got $31 and Linda got $26. I guess I kept the wrong egg.

Easter

The kids favorite part of Easter is getting to
color the eggs. They just can't wait!
Of course they like the candy too and hunting
for easter candy is a blast, but all of that is nother
without the Easter Egg coloring first.

Walt Disney World

Walt Disney World

We had the best time in Disneyworld. The trip started out rough we had to fly through Las Vegas and had a 7 hour layover there. We then did the redeye from Las Vegas to Orlando. We were dead. Disneyworld was a blast. Suzie and Zac came drove down to meet us for a week of fun. We hit Hollywood Studios first. We loved the Tower of Terror, Rockin Roller Coaster, Star Tours. Megan would ride the Tower of Terror and finally we got her to ride the Rockin Roller Coaster which she loved. Lucas's favorite was the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Adventure. We did the backlot tour where Abby, Suzie and Lucas all got wet when the flash flood came out of the canyon. We then saw Famtasmic. We closed down the park at 1:00 am with a last ride on the Rockin Roller Coaster.

Our next day we spent swimming and taking a break. Zac was sick and trying to pass a kidney stone. He was a real trooper. We also went miniture golfing. Zac offered 1 dollar for every hole in one. Megan, Abby and Lucas all got one. Watch out for Liam he follows through on his swing as Lucas should know. He got hit in the eye.

We then went to Animal Kingdom. There we did Kilimanjaro Safaris, Wildlife Express Train, Affection Station, Primeval Whirl, Tricera Top Spin, Dinosaur, Expedition Everest and Finding Nemo the Musical. We loved Expedition Everest and went on it several times.

My Family did Epcot. At the innovations building you designed your own robot and then raced it. Meg's came in 2nd for the race with Nick running and 1st for style. Luke's came in 3rd with me running and 4th for style. We rode Spaceship Earth, Test Track, Mission Space, Gran Fiesta Tour, Maelstrom, Finding Nemo and Turtle Talk with Crush. Meg got to ask him a question. She was so excited.

We then did Magic Kingdom. We rode Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railrode, The Haunted Mansion, Cinderella's Golden Carousel, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Mad Tea Party, Indy Speedway, Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, and Stitch's Great Escape. Luke and Meg loved Space Mountain and wanted to keep riding it. I had to take a picture of Nick with the red card. He got asked all the time to carry it in the line to see how long it took for us to get on the ride. He must have been wearing a sign.

Our flights home were full so we got to spend an extra night in Orlando. We got a hotel near the airport and tried for an early flight on Sunday. We made it to Los Angeles. Dad picked us up and we went to the Swap Meet. We then went back to Uncle Alan's house we were tired. On monday we went to Newport beach were we built us a entire city of sand castles. We finally got to go home that night. What a fun trip and big adventure for us.
