The Ritcheys at a Glance: Disney- Magic Kingdom

Man, what a few days I've had. It's been a crazy week with lots of ups and downs (all work related)! I'm glad to be able to focus on this blog post about my beautiful family which always makes me feel good. This is such old news now as we've been back from Disney for nearly a month, but I guess it's still news, right? Back to Day 2 at Disney...

We went to Perkins for breakfast and then hit the road. I was being silly in the car and started to do THIS. Come to find out, John never knew I could do that?!?! And the boys thought it was great and kept asking me to do it again. John wanted to know how he could be together with me for 6 years and not know I was that talented?!?! Oh, I got a whole bag o' tricks baby!!

We spent Sunday at Magic Kingdom. Prior to taking these next couple pictures, Adrey was walking and Charlie was in the stroller eating Combos. I decided I wanted a picture of both boys with the castle, so I scooped Charlie out of the stroller. He must have had 14 combos in his mouth... his cheeks were enormous and he had orange drool coming out of this mouth. It takes forever for the kid to eat so I put my hand out and asked him to spit it out. He leaned forward and, yes, about 14 combos (if that's what you want to call them at that point), spilled into my hand. Nice. But glad I did that cuz I got a few great pictures!!

See what I mean about Charlie leaning on Adrey for pictures?

I. LOVE. IT.

I know you can't see Charlie's face in this picture but doesn't he look so big in John's arms??

Oh, and notice the boys shoes? Those were brand new. We ended up stopping at Walmart on our way home from Animal Kingdom the night before because our shoes were completely soaking wet and I knew they wouldn't dry before the next day and I didn't want the boys walking around in wet shoes (such a yucky feeling)! I bought both the boys tennis shoes, a pair of flip flops for John and a pack of gum. The gum cost more than John's flip flops.

The boys and I all got tattoos at Perkins at breakfast.

This was right before the parade. We were securing our curb and waiting for it to start. You know how I am about parades. A little bit obsessed. I love the little "shorts wedgie" Charlie's got going on.

And a front wedgie view...

The boys waited very patiently. Click HERE to see them groovin'.

Love pictures of the boys when they don't know (or care) that I'm taking them.

Given all the rain we got stuck in the day before, my camera got moisture in it and was "foggy" for the first bit of the day. I'm SO bummed this next picture was foggy because it would have been SUCH an awesome photo with the blue skies in the background and their super happy faces! Look how precious Charlie's smile is!! Big bummer.

Adrey and I rode the Buzz Light Year ride together and John and Charlie went together. This was the picture that Disney took during the ride. Look how focused Adrey is!

Then on to the race cars! And since our last visit, Charlie is now big enough to go on it too!! Adrey gave me strict instructions while we were in line that I was NOT allowed to touch the wheel!
