Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Disney World - Day 1

We drove back to Orlando for Thanksgiving week again, but left a day earlier this year than last.  Tuesday traffic was sooo much better than driving down the day before Thanksgiving! 


Our first morning in Orlando and we headed to the Magic Kingdom.

Our parking lot and row marker. 

Somebody was sitting so nice on the tram from the parking lot to the transportation center.

We had another little snuggle bug.

We all knew the first ride on the list was Thunder Mountain Railroad.  We also got Fast Passes so we could come back later and not wait so long in these lines.

Although at only 30 minute waits, the lines moved pretty quickly on this day before Thanksgiving.

We listened to the screams as the Thunder Mountain Railroad train zoomed by.

The kids both decided to ride with Todd, so I got to sit in front of them with my camera and Grandma Sharon.

It was all fun and games, until...

My sunglasses flew off my head in slow motion and then a heightened level of panic filled Chloe and she couldn't wait to get off this coaster.  Poor Bean.

Next up was Pirates of the Caribbean, a slow boat ride in the dark through veils of smoke and spooky lights.

The kids waited very patiently in this line, too.

See?  Spooky.

Jack Sparrow was yelling at us as we sailed by.

There were brides for auction.

Then the day turned and we had grumps on Aladdin's Magic Flying Carpet ride.

The mood was catching.

After giving it another hour, attitudes had not improved and we left the Magic Kingdom much earlier than expected.  Sigh.
