Fun at Hollywood Studios

Today was still pretty chilly so we headed to Hollywood Studios for a day of fun. The kids were very excited to go there. They had been asking.

Here they are all showing off their Disney trading pin phones. Tate was so sweet and found a special one for Ellie and wanted to surprise her with it. She was thrilled to get a Tinkerbell phone. They keep calling eachother.

The newest American Idol.

Watching Playhouse Disney with Jamie. He kept wanting to sit in Tate's lap and Tate was so patient with him and nice to him but all he wanted to do was watch Playhouse Disney. Thinking this is the last time he will be excited to see Playhouse Disney.

Watching Lights, Camera, Action. We sat in the back row and everyone loved the show but not like EB. She was mesmerized the entire time.

A group shot after the show!

EB is very into trading pins and we have been on the hunt for some Mulan ones. This nice lady after the show really liked her and just gave her a pin. She was THRILLED!

Where is Mary Poppins when you need her?

Hello New York!!!!

Waiting to go on Buzz Lightyear. Look at how big those dominos.

Ready for action!

Pose for me!

The kids said it was so cold it could have snowed!

If only there was a hill!

Still having fun after a long day!

Young Jedi Tate

Tate wanted nothing more than to be a Jedi. Last year he was so sad his sisters got to be Jedis. This year we got there very early and got a seat right up front. We practiced and practiced him jumping and screaming pick me! He even wore his Star Wars shirt.

Waiting for the training to begin. Hoping and hoping he got choosen.

Mentally preparing to fight!

Facing Darth Vader!

Hey, I cannot get my cape just right!

Tired after a long battle!

Soaking in the fame and applause.

Waiting to get his diploma.

So proud.

Now for some video fun. I cannot figure out how to flip the video of Tate where he describes how the fight went -- apparently he killed Darth Vader.

Gone Fishin'

We chartered a boat and a driver for an early morning of fishing fun. It was very very cold and rainy. You would have never thought we were in Florida.

The kids huddling together for protection from the rain and wind.

Fishing off downtown Disney. No luck here.

Tate spends his 10 minutes fishing in front of Pleasure Island.

Here are the shiners (minnows) we used for bait. Tate liked them, he thought when we landed a shiner, we had caught a fish!

Jill caught the first fish! She didn't know she'd have to actually hold it!

Three little fisherman at the far end of the lake.

Harper was really good at casting.

Daddy catches a little guy.

EB in the front of the boat, thinking fish.

Moving to a new spot back by the hotel.

Fishing right by the water wheel at Port Orleans. Ellie caught a big one which flopped out of the boat under the gate to her right. She looks a little dissappointed!
