Day 13

We got up early and drove and drove and drove.  We made it in time for a late lunch at Lambert's.

Carson is ready to catch a "throwed roll."
YEAH!!! He caught it!!
These are the best rolls ever!!!
Even though Haylee wasn't feeling good she tried to eat a roll too.
The hour wait was so worth it!!
Then we went to see the Battleship in Mobile, AL.
They had cool planes that Carson loved!
All aboard...
Trying out the beds
Almost left them here for a while...
Haylee
Carson
More planes...
We headed to the submarine because it was getting close to closing time and we didn't want to miss it
Fun on the deck
Then we went inside the submarine.
This is the best smile I could get from Haylee.  She really didn't feel good.
The short doors were easy for Carson, but not so much for David.
This way didn't work.
Finally, able to move on.
Captain Carson
Submarine
We still had a little time left so we went back to the ship
My dad loaded these kinds of bombs on planes when he was in the air force.
We convinced Haylee to take one more picture before she and I headed to the car.
He had a great time climbing and exploring the ship.
We were there until the park closed and then we drove to Ocean Springs.  Once we checked in the hotel, we drove around to find the beach.  We found a neat little park and a perfect beach area.  We were only there a short time because it was almost dark.
 Our attempt to make a sand castle
 This is the final product...
 Haylee doing her part to clean the beach.
 We had a great time at the beach
For dinner we had Krispy Kreme...  it's vacation  so anything goes...




















Day 12: Last Day

As David and I were getting the rest of the car loaded this is what the kids were doing...

2 peas in a pod...
The had to take one last look from the terrace.  The terrace was their favorite part of the room.
We ate dinner several times out on the terrace.
The only park we (Haylee) felt like we hadn't finished was Epcot.  So we have part of the day to spend there before we start the trek home.
Trying to stay cool because it is HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!
We repeated a few things.  While we waited on our time for Test Track fast passes.

We finally made it to see Aladdin and Jasmine.
Then we went to watch the show in the America area and listened to some beautiful singing while we waited.
It was still several hours before it was time to use our fast passes so we decided to grab lunch and then head out.  We were staying in Tallahassee for the night.
Not ready to leave.....but it was time.  Another magical Disney trip had come to an end.



Day 11: Chef Mickey's and much more

We started off the day at Chef Mickey's for breakfast.  The food is always delicious....especially the Mickey shaped waffles.
They always sing a silly song,  dance around, and swing around napkins.  The kids love it so I guess that's all that matters.
While we eat, the characters make their way around the restaurant to every one's table.
Minnie was first.
Then Mickey...
GOOFY!!!
Pluto was next.. 
Finally....
Donald Duck....
On vacation, you can eat whatever you want for breakfast...right??
so rice krispie treats and brownies it is.
Once we have eaten everything possible, we head back to Magic Kingdom.
Once we entered the gates, we ran into Mary Poppins.  She was fun to talk with. Well, for me at least.  She asked the kids how tidy their rooms were.  The looked at me and then she said, I guess not that tidy from the look you gave mom.  It was quite funny for me.  She said she might need to stop by and check out their rooms.  They weren't to sure about that.
We were in the perfect place for the mini parade they have a few times per day. 
It started as soon as we turned to corner. 
Once the parade was over, we headed toward Fantasyland.  David was off to get fast passes for Splash Mountain.  On our way through, there were so short lines for some rides that we had already ridden so we rode them again.  Then we headed to Dumbo. 
There are actually two Dumbo rides that are exactly the same.  Usually the line is very long but not today.  So we actually rode it twice.
In this new area, there is also a circus tent that has a small indoor play area for the kids.  When you go inside, you get a pager and when it's time for you to ride, it buzzes. 
While in the area, we also rode The Barnstormer.  It is a kiddie coaster.  The kids loved it.
It was time for us to ride Splash Mountain and we were ready.  It was HOT!!
On our way, we ran into these 2 cowboys.
We finally made it to the ride.  It was so "cool"
Thankfully, we made it through the briar patch.  I love this ride!!
On our way out, we saw these 2.  We had already seen Woody but not Jesse so we stopped.  The line wasn't very long but they took several breaks so this was the longest character line we waited in.  When we were almost to the front, the cast members brought a family up to the side to let them cut.  I heard some "rumbling" around me from others in line.  Then I heard them whisper to the photographer that this family was there with the make a wish foundation.  After hearing that, I didn't care how much longer we had to wait in line.  The kids "looked" perfect, you couldn't tell which one of them was sick.  It made me realize how lucky I was to have two healthy kids.  So sad for their circumstance but glad was able to witness the smiles with Jesse and Woody.
We had done all we needed to here for the day.  So we were off to the Campground for the
Chip and Dale Campfire Sing-a-long.
Since weren't able to camp and cookout on the way down, we decided to roast hot dogs and make
s'mores for dinner. 
Chip finally made his way around.  Dale was there too but they split the area in half.
Then the music and "dancing"  started.
Carson will dance around as long as he doesn't think anyone is watching him...but he he sees you, this is what you get.
hands in the pocket and he's done...
Haylee has to examine her marshmallows very carefully...to make sure the are not too black.
She's come along way in roasting marshmallows.  The first time she used a flashlight in the dark to make sure there was no black on them at all.
Then it was time to enjoy the great s'mores.
Getting the perfect s'more is a fine art.

We watched a little of the movie and then headed back to the resort to start packing since we were leaving tomorrow.
