Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando 2012

We went to Disney World in Florida the end of June first of July with all of Chad's family.  We had so much fun and hit all 4 parks in Disney World (Magic Kingdom with is a lot like Disneyland in California, Disney Hollywood Studios which is a lot like California Adventure park in California, Epcot Center, and the Disney Animal Kingdom Park.  

 Our little family in front of Disney World!

 Caden, Chad and Chase headed to Disney World. Chad's famous breakfast Coke!!

Riding the bus to the Animal Kingdom park!

 The Animal Kingdom park was so fun.  It is like going to a zoo but you can get in these jeeps and they take you out on a tour of all these animals in the their natural habitats.  We saw all kinds of animals from Tigers, Lions, Giraffes, Zebras, Crocodiles and many many more.  Everyone enjoyed this park!!











Caden trying to scare us!!

Epcot Center!!  
What an amazing place this was.  You can walk around this park and see all different countries go into shops and eat food that all pertains to their country.  I wish we would have had more time to spend here but all well maybe next time!!

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS ORLANDO


While we were in Florida we hit Universal Studio's!!  Florida's is much better than California's in my opinion.  Some of the favorite rides were Spider Man, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Despicable Me, Cat and the Hat, ET and many more. They boys loved this park and they had so many thing to do!

Caden in Jurassic Park

Chase's 1st Fish

We found this little pond in Hurricane that is planted with fish. The boys love it because they can catch several fish in a hour.  This was Chases first fish he has ever caught by himself and he was thrilled.  

Can you see that little fish?  It was a baby cat fish!!

Tooth #3 and #4!!

In March the Dentist told us that Caden's 4 top front teeth were equally loose and he would probably lose them around the same time.  Tuesday we were at the shop and Chase hit Caden in the mouth and out came one of his top front middle tooth.  Caden was so excited that he lost his tooth he didn't even get mad at Chase for hitting him.  Caden told me that he had the best brother ever because he made his tooth come out.  Later that night we were eating at Panda Express for dinner and Caden bit into a piece of orange chicken and out came his front side tooth.  Two teeth in one day, Caden was thrilled!!  Caden's two other top teeth are supper loose and he will lose them any day.  

 Caden at the shop after his fist tooth came out!

Swimming Lessons 2012




Caden "the Fisherman"

Check out this monster bass that Caden caught at Sand Hollow!!  
The boys were on a roll that night. Chad caught 16 fish and Caden caught 3. Caden was so excited his fish was the biggest fish of the night!

Skim Boards

Chad helped the young men in our ward make skim boards at the shop and made one for Caden and Chase as well.  They loved them and were so excited to try them out.  They didn't work very well at Sand Hollow so the next week we went to the river in Washington were the water wasn't so deep!
