Blessings

 

I was sitting in a theater in Walt Disney World last week and was very humbled and in awe of the fabulous blessings that Heavenly Father has given us.  First, of course, is our awesome family and friends.  They are absolutely the best and our church family is great too.  We have had the incredible opportunity to see and experience so many places and cultures in our life times and I am very thankful for these experiences.

Walt Disney World is an incredibly well thought out experience.  Everything is done with the utmost care for children and families.  Saturday, May 16th we went to Hollywood Studios.  It is vignettes of many different Disney stories put to action.  There is Toy Story, The little mermaid - which has awesome special effects to the point that they spray you with water and you feel like you are literally "under the sea", and many others.  The grounds are amazing.

                    Wow, Mickey was there to greet us.  We were afraid Nathan   would be afraid of the characters but he did well except with Mike Wysoski (??) from Monsters, Inc.

It may be hard to see but that is C3PO talking to the other robot (I have forgotten his name). We were waiting in line for Star Tours where you rode a Star Cruiser to the Moon of Endor.  It was quite thrilling.  The wait to ride was made quicker by the scenes from the movies in real size and you had robots fixing other robots, assembly line robot making, etc.  You even had a damaged cruiser.  We are going to have to find a copy of Star Wars as Nathan had a million questions.

Remember the movie Honey, I shrunk the Kids?  They had this fantastic playground and you were the size of ants.  It was awesome!IMG_0506

 

 

 

    Mandy refused to climb on to the ant.

It looks so cool!
Come on over and the kids can fill Nathan in on Star wars - they have the series memorized, except #3 that I won't let them watch.
