And the fun continues

So, our children are gullible... very gullible.

When we announced we would spend New Year's Eve at Sea World, we told them we would be leaving for Sweden the next day instead, i.e., on New Year's Day. 

So that morning, we woke three very tired young men, packed all of our stuff and gave it to the concierge, piled in the car and headed to the airport.

Steen went to "check us in" while the boys and I sat down for a bite of breakfast.

Lo and behold, a few minutes later, there were Grandma and Grandpa! This time around, the boys didn't know what to think.

Grandma and Grandpa informed them that they were going to spend the week with us, but not in Sweden. We were all going to spend a week in Orlando... and we were going to meet Mickey Mouse!

Words cannot express how much fun we had that week. So for the most part, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

A visit to the Rainforest Cafe (after spending 60 minutes looking for a parking space at Downtown Disney -- CRAZY!)



A day at Disney World....




 Breakfast with the characters...


The look on Nicholas's face here is priceless. For him, meeting these characters is magical.




We spent a day at Epcot, where we hardly ever had to wait to get on any ride...


Nico and his new best buddy.

I think someone is in love...

Mom and dad got so many compliments on these visit-to-Mickey shirts they had made.



We spent the week at the Wyndham Resort right next to Disney (care of mom and dad). As we are crazy and as we live in winter-plagued Sweden, we went to the pool... often!


And we played in the sun.

This week was so much fun -- such a gift to be able to give the boys. It wouldn't have been possible without you, mom and dad, so thank you for making it unbelievably special. I am the luckiest daughter in the entire world.
