Disneyworld/Harry Potter update

ok ok. so much has happened! AND I FINALLY HAVE INTERNET PERMANENTLY = BLOG UPDATES. plus i have had quite a few requests.

After christmas with dad/girls, will, and mom/jack/granny and grandpa,
Erin the girls and I headed down to Disneyworld to meet dad, kim and her boys there.
We spent two days in Disney; the first at Hollywood Studios, the sceond at Animal Kingdom.








Then one day in Universal Studios before Erin and I left. We REALLY wanted to go to Harry Potter World. We had to wait in line for an hour to get a ticket to get into Harry Potter world later that day. In line dad was trying to make people laugh, I wanted to see how many people we would riled up if we started chanting Voldemort. It didnt turn out too successful. We took advantage of your dual park entrance tickets/fast pass to the maxx and jumped from park to park all day. Exhausting and Expensive but definitely worth it all.

(I am supposed to be in a buthtub of fire. The preview of the disaster movie that they made, was actually really really funny.)
