The Happiest Place on Earth . . .at Halloween

We braved Disney World again -- and this time, even Jeb went! It was the middle of day 2 before he would let a character anywhere near him. We simply put him on the rides we wanted to ride and never asked how he felt about it. Poor guy! His first ride was Test Track at Epcot where the car reaches 65 mph and takes a huge curve -- he is one brave fellow! Virginia is our daredevil -- she road Everest 3 times in a row. Literally got off and got right back on. Crazy! She also braved Tower of Terror and cried a few tears because the Rock-n-Roller Coaster was closed (her daddy shed a few tears over that also!). Ford, as always, is our steady one. He likes a little adventure but prefers to stay low to the ground. He is a big fan of Test Track and Thunder Mountain Railroad.

The Pumpkin Patch

We took advantage of an early release day and drove to Eckert's for a little pumpkin and apple pickin'!

We took a little hay ride out to the orchards. I didn't quite consider that 3 kids could pick A LOT of apples -- and how do you tell them that you can't buy them all. FYI, apples are MUCH cheaper at the grocery store!!!
But the very favorite part was spinning in this big red apple -- and almost making mama throw up! :)
