    The Hare's go to WDW!!! (TheDogHouse)

    We kept the fact that we were going to Disney a secret from Hannah.  We had told her that if she didn't bug us about it too much and was good that *maybe* we would go next year.  We do a lot of driving and occasionally when we know its going to be a late night we tell her to just go to sleep in the car, which is exactly what we did Sunday night.  We said her Dad had some errands he had to finish up and since we had eaten dinner w/ my parents late (around 8:30) she needed to go ahead and go to sleep.  We got a good bit of the driving done over night and during the day when she was awake she just didn't seem to get that we were far from home.  Finally when she started getting really bored I promised her that if we weren't somewhere fun at a certain time we'd go to the movies.  So she spent the next couple hours planning which movie we would see. When she turned her head toward a sign that said Welcome to Disney I was able to get this video:

    Here are some pictures from our trip and at the end I'll put a link to the album and you can see all the pictures if you want to.

    I think the words on the wall say it all:

    We stayed at the All-Star Music resort:

    We met lots of characters, including a brief glimpse of Dug from Up:

    I wasn't sure how Aaron would react to the characters, but for the most part he didn't really care about them one way or the other.  This picture cracks me up, b/c Mickey interrupted his playing w/ the straws:

    All the ears were just too cute too resist:

    We watched the "It's Tough to be a Bug" 3-D show.  For Aaron, "It's Tough to be a Doodle-Bug":

    Hannah found out what happens to little girls who mis-behave in Disney:

    It only took a few trips on the bus and Aaron got the hang of the whole bus riding thing, and would grab on to the pole as soon as we boarded:

    Hannah enjoyed modeling all the different hats, first being Repunzel and looking just too cool in the 2nd:

    My Monsters:

    We checked out the Lego Store, they had a lot of really cool statues built, but this was my favorite:

    And here is Planet Hollywood where we met Callie:

    If you want to see all the pictures, this link is to my Facebook album, but even if you don't have Facebook, if you follow this link you should still be able to see the pictures.

    Lunch was a blast.  It was fun to catch up with you and Chad.  Aaron is definitely a major flirt and Hannah?  Well, honestly I just plain wanted to kidnap her and take her home.  She's a sweet kid and she was having SO much fun.  It's like the whole trip was a "WOW" moment for her!!

     Hey Steph !!! 

    I really don't remember getting an invite for this little jaunt.  Maybe it got lost in the mail.

    You guys look like you had a ball !!  Aaron looks so much like you and Hannah is getting so big !! 

    So many sweet memories !!

    Ugh, FB lied to me.  It says that link is supposed to let me share the album w/ *anyone* even if they don't have FB.  Grumble....

    What happens if you try this one?

    Deb, your invite never arrived?  Guess that just means we need a "do over" w/ you there! 

    Callie, we had a great time w/ you too!  Hannah was so fascinated w/ everything, it was so cool to watch.  Sometimes we forget, but she really is a fantastic kid.  And we figured out why Aaron was such a grump, on Sunday a new tooth popped through, so he probably wasn't feeling the best on Saturday.

    Looks like everyone had a blast!  Love, love, love Aaron's face at Mickey at the table.

    Awww Steph...what wonderful pics and memories.  I dont know how you managed to keep Hannah in the dark the whole time.  That was cool.  I love the Mouse ears picture, lol, that is one for hanging.  Thanks for sharing.

    Wow  - looks like a truly memorable vacation!  How cool that you were able to make it a surprise for Hannah.  She will remember that trip for the rest of her life with great happiness.  

    I love the ears pics.  And the face Aaron gives Mickey is just too much!
