We're Back!

We had a great time down at Disney these past few days! We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, and visited all 4 parks... Jack and Leah conquered every roller coaster there was, including Rock-n-Roller Coaster, Space Mountain, AND Expedition Everest! I am sure Leah will have more pictures and thoughts over at her piece of the web... for now, here are a few shots!

Hidden Mickeys!

While we visited all the Disney parks this weekend, we became a little obsessed with "Hidden Mickeys." Hidden Mickeys, as some of you diehard Mouseketeers may know, are little Mickey Mouse icons found hidden in various spots on Disney property - in the architecture, landscaping, etc. The scavenger hunt adds a whole new dimension to the parks! See if you can find the Hidden Mickeys we found! (We found about 30, there are about 500+!)

The Dancing Queens.

Last night Leah & Jack attended their school's Valentine's Dance. Leah has posted some of her own shots on her blog. Jack and his friends formed "The Chaos Team" - a club only for "cool" 5th graders who did not want to bring girls to the dance. Their mission - create "chaos" at the dance by breakdancing during slow songs, voting for boys to be the princess of the dance, and eating as many cookies as possible. I think they succeeded... they both had a lot of fun and are looking forward to the next dance!

Planet Challenge: RED.

Ok, so we were brainstorming some ways to make blogging a little more fun, and interactive. And we figured, everyone loves a challenge! Right, people? Bueller? So we decided to post a weekly challenge. We will post the week's theme, say, on Thursdays, and then you will have a week to post your take on it. If you do not have a blog, and wish to post to the challenge, email it to me and I will post it here. Remember, you can attack the challenge in any way you want - post photos, tell a story or memory, write a poem, link to a relevant website, etc. It's all in fun and hopefully a way to get thinking about things we may not normally think about! OK? so, here is challenge #1...

In honor of Valentine's Day, our theme this week is......

RED!

Here are some photos I took for the occasion, to get us started....






















Have fun, people, and be creative!!
BTW, there is a challenge over at newcalebnation as well... post father/child pix!!

Happy Day!

Leah has updated her blog!

Super Sunday.

We spent a fun Superbowl Sunday over on the hill.
Jack's team won, so it was all good!




































Hope everyone enjoyed their day as well!

More basketball shots...

well, it IS Saturday!

Jack's team won their game today, Jack and his teammates all played fast and furious!


















Oh, and Leah got stuck on a light pole.

That's entertainment!

Over at the new calebnation, caleb demonstrates his excellent animal sounding skills. Will enjoyed watching his little cousin master these sounds - he especially got a kick out of "buck-buck" and "baaaa."

Back to Epcot!

Spent the better part of the day at Epcot, hitting Mission: Space, Test Track, Nemo, and Soarin.' The kids got cozy with Don Donald Duck in Mexico, rode Maelstrom in Norway, ate lunch in Italy and ice cream in France.
















We're tired!

Hoop Dreams.

Jack played in his second basketball game of the season with his new team today... and they did great!

Even Will seemed impressed!

How to tell if school was fun today...

paint on your shirt and a smile on your face!

Positively Goofy!

The whole Terry fam made it down to Disney this past weekend to watch Sean compete in Disney's Goofy Challenge - running a half-marathon on Saturday, followed by the full, 26.2 mile Disney Marathon on Sunday! It was an exciting weekend watching Sean come over the finishline twice - and we even made it to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot! Way to go, Sean, we are proud of you!!

Two thousand seven.

Happy New Year from our planet to yours.
