Disney 2009

On November 18th the original Leeper Clan...took the entire Leeper Clan...minus one brother-in-law and two nephews...plus one mother-in-law to Disneyworld
We had a wonderful but EXHAUSTING time. Here are a few of my favorite pictures out of over 200 taken!!


The plane ride...Molly and Charlie had both flown once before but Molly didn't remember it...she was super excited!
Gray and Charlie enjoyed cuddling with Daddy and Mamaw during the two hour flight. We had all gotten up very early to make it to Memphis on time!The first afternoon was spent at Magic Kingdom. We had very short wait times, and I'm very glad we went there first. By the time the Thanksgiving holiday crowd arrived, the wait times had gone from about 10-15 minutes to over an hour!! The rest of the days are a blur...not sure where we were on what day...not that it really matters!! Maps...double stroller...we're ready to go!
Molly and I rode Dumbo first!Molly was amazed at the dolls in "It's A Small World"
My nephew Drew was such a big help. My kids love him and he was more than willing to ride with Charlie when we needed him to. Here they are waiting on the show, "It's' Tough Being a Bug" at Animal Kingdom.
Christmas lights show at Hollywood Studios...very cool!The highlight of Charlie's vacation was definitely Jedi Training at Hollywood Studios. He had to wait in line over an hour hoping to get picked to get on stage to be trained by a Jedi Master. After that, he was ready to fight Darth Vader. He is a HUGE Star Wars fan and this experience was the only reason he wanted to go to Disneyworld. I'm so glad he got picked!




Listening intently to his instructions along the the other future Jedis...Practicing his light saber skills...Finally, the battle with Darth Vader...He said, "I sense the force is strong with this one" when Charlie walked up!One of his favorite characters...Darth Maul...a little scary to me!
Pretending to be a droid...



Gray was such a trooper! He took great naps in the stroller, and all you had to do when waiting in line was give him a dum-dum-sweet baby!!


Molly's favorite day...Norway Princess Breakfast...waiting with Elise to go in..
Molly and Mamaw

Gran and PopMolly and Belle...she also met Ariel, Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping BeautyPop and Gray met all the princesses too :)

My 12 year old son Josh fell in love with this picture. When I downloaded it I displayed the boy life size and Josh was beside himself. He commented the boy looks beautiful and is very very pretty! He put the boy on display life size in his bedroom in one of his large digital picture displays.
