Disney - Day 7

This was our last day, we had talked the night before that we wanted to try and get around early so we could savor every last moment before we had to head home. Well.... sometimes things don't go quite as planned. I woke up to a text from mom that told us that my dad had been up all night sick :(. We think that he may have gotten some bad food the night before from the Sci-Fi diner, plus a pretty wicked stomach bug. boo. As for the rest of us.... we were TIRED! We had been going non-stop for the past 6 days and we were wiped out. But, we put our game faces (and our matching shirts) on and headed over to the Magic Kingdom, minus Nana & Poppy, around noon.

where's ben??

We got to the park and tried to capture some "unforgettable" pictures of the kiddoes in their matching t-shirts... here's the best one. Ha! Amy and I had big visions of getting the castle in the background or even a Mickey statue. But we settled for a sidewalk and a bunch of strangers legs. Oh well... maybe next time!

My 2 favorite boys :)

Love these pictures of Molly Kay sitting on daddy's shoulders!

After pictures we headed over to Tomorrow Land to get some lunch. Guess who ventured out to join us? Nana! Poor Poppy still wasn't feeling too hot so he stayed back in the room to rest.

After lunch we headed over to Toontown to visit Mickey & Minnie's houses. The kids had a great time, there was a park area and a little roller coster called "The Barnstormer," Molly rode it 3 times and LOVED it! Here are some pictures of the kids exploring in Toontown.

Look who we got to see again! Mickey & Minnie!

About halfway through our time in Toontown Poppy showed up! He sure didn't feel like a million dollars, but he couldn't stand being back in the room by himself while we were out and about. We were so glad he could come.

After Toontown, we did a few things that we hadn't gotten to check off of our lists yet. Some rode Space Mountain, we all went to watch the Hall of Presidents, and we rode Peter Pan (our last ride of the trip). From there we we were scheduled to have dinner at Tony's Town Square Italian Restaurant. Since we had the whole group together in our matching shirts, we had big plans to get a group picture in front of the castle after dinner so you could see the Christmas lights. Well.... on our way to dinner as I'm pushing our double stroller through a HUGE crowd of people down Main Street Disney a very nice man passed us and then stopped me and says, "uh, ma'am do you know that your little girl is sick??" "what?" I say... "uh, she's throwing up everywhere..." I stop and walk to the front and my poor girl is COVERED in ickyness. Poor babe. It came out of nowhere, she had been fine all day. I had to strip her down to her unders in the middle of Disney! Thankfully I had purchased a t-shirt for her earlier that I threw on her. My mom ran into a store to grab some pants and a sweatshirt and came out with new gear. The Disney workers cut the tags and told us to take them free of charge, unbelievable!

"sorry guys... I got sick"

Molly seemed better and said she was hungry so we headed to dinner....

Well, long story short she wasn't okay:(. She was sick ALL night and into the next day. We had to leave the resturant early and get her back to the room. No group picture and no last goodbyes to the Magic Kingdom... but, that's what you do as parents - your priorities change and we were off to make sure our girl was okay. Turned out that Poppy didn't make it that much longer after we left either. The day after we got home Drew came down with the stomach bug too. Three out of eleven to get sick isn't too bad, but for the ones that caught it - it was pretty bad! We are just glad that everyone is one the mend.

Here are the last 2 pictures on my camera from our Disney Dream...

Sweet Molly exhausted from the night before, but still sporting her Mickey ears, she was a trooper.

We had an AMAZING time and we want to thank Nana and Poppy for the trip of a lifetime. Thank you for spending your 40th anniversary with us at the "happiest place on earth." We love you so much and are proud to call you our parents. Can't wait to see where we may venture off to celebrate your 41st anniversary.... :)
