Notes from the life and words of Addison and Ryland

Over 40"

Aside from this blog being their "3 ft vantage point" the kids' height has never meant as much as it did in Disney World...the fact that they were both a hair over 40" was incomparably important!  This meant that they could ride Splash Mountain...and Tower of Terror...and all the other good rides.  Our trip would not have been the same without these scary but thrilling rides! 
A couple things I realized along the way...
Ryland refusses to walk when a willing adult is around that will pick him up
Addison isn't afraid to let go and put her hands in the air
"Flash Mountain" (in Ry's words) is both of their favorite ride
a bag full of snacks is a must
I am a bit too worried about everyone having a great time
Richard likes the challenge of "working" the fast pass system almost more than the rides themselves
Annie has amazing endurance at 16 weeks pregnant but does not have amazing shoes
Dan (or as Addison called him "Danny") is the easiest person to travel with and easy to please...especially when a cold one is waiting for him in the end
Will "the thrill" loves a ride and is the most excitable little guy ever!
I consider Jon family
and Sidney loves to twirl...especially in her new Mini Mouse dress! 
It was great fun! We made a little stop at the beach on the way back which was a perfect ending...no pics from that though.
During and after the ride!!!!
Check out Dan and Will in the back!!
Happy Birthday, Ryland!!!!! We love you to pieces!

  2. It is like a whole new world when our kids get big enough to ride the "Big" rides! We had that same experience last year at Dollywood and it was so much fun!
