Happy at Hogwart's

And so, a few more pool pictures before we head off to Harry Potter land. This one (on the ground) loved having the pool to himself once everyone else had left! No more splashing or water guns to face.
This one was just cute. She preferred to visit and walk around the pool rather than actually get into it.
This one is a water baby for sure. Loved being on his own in his life jacket, or sleeping on his uncle!

Here is our jumper. "Just one more" was what we heard over and over. She swims on her own, and jumps fearlessly from anywhere on the pool's edge. She does require, however, that everyone else get out of the way (i.e. be almost out of the pool!)
Another cute one who loved to float around with her monkey.
Not a pool accomplishment, but a major accomplishment non the less. He learned how to go up the stairs during this vacation. What a mover!
And here is what we have been waiting for - The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The town is great - exactly how I had pictured it. However, I didn't picture having to stand in line to get into the stores!
Hogwart's itself - well worth the 2.5 hour wait to get in and onto the ride!
A bit more of the town.
The Butterbeer cart. Butterbeer tastes kind of like root beer and cream soda mixed, and has a foam which defies description, and doesn't rinse off! You have to taste it to believe it.
Which castle do I prefer - Cinderella's or Hogwart's? Can't choose - each has its own appeal.
One last ride on old favourites - in this case, It's a Small World.

And at the end of the holiday, here are Grandpa and one of the excellent travellers waiting for his car seat, which didn't show up until the next day. We couldn't believe how well all the kids did in the + 30 degree heat and high levels of humidity. They were great troopers, as were their parents. It has been 23 years since our family was at Disneyworld all together, and this trip was as magical as was the first. What a wonderful way to celebrate 40 years of marriage. Thanks to everyone for getting to Orlando, and for making our anniversary so special. We love you all.
