Grammy Dino was so nice to drive us to the airport. On our way there I was practicing with Carter what mine and Craig's names are and our last name. I try to practice this with Carter daily. For the first time he got it right. I was so proud and Grammy was so impressed that at such a young age Carter knew Mommy's REAL name is Chistal (yes he leaves out the r) Daddy's REAL name is Craig and our last name is Dinon. Ok so it is not perfect but still impressive to Me. Thank you Grammy for bringing us to the Airport. We really appreciate it and it was nice to spend time with you. And as you know Carter loves seeing you too.

Okay so here are all the pics from the trip. I only picked the best but tried to cover all we did and saw so this is your warning; there are many pics below. I hope you enjoy them!

Disney
The airport
At the airport Carter got out his camera and began taking pictures of the planes outside. He was so adorable!

Magic Kingdom
Here we are headed out of the room to go to Magic Kingdom
Dancing with Woody's Gang from Toy Story
Exploring on Tom Sawyer's Island
Never did I think Carter would ever be tired enough to fall asleep on us while at an amusement park! Turned out this was an everyday occurance every day we were there.
Carter's first time meeting Mickey. It was the sweetest thing. We let him stay asleep while we were in line. Once in the room with Mickey we woke him and he quickly got down from Daddy, ran over to Mickey and hugged him. Carter has this light in his eye I have never seen before. It brought tears to my eyes to see him so happy. Disney truly is magical. The workers thought it was so sweet how much he loved Mickey.
While we waited for Chicken Little to come back for a visit Carter met Dopey. He had no idea what to really do with Dopey. He was a little unsure.
Eating a lollipop also helped pass the time while we waited for Chicken Little.

Finally meeting Chicken Little. Carter calls him Chickens!
We met Goofy too!
Carter was so excited to meet Buzz. We even got Carter a couple Buzz Lightyear characters. Carter flies him through the air and says ON an On an On; translation - to infinity and beyond! How cute is that?
Carter's favorite ride was the carousel. Every time we would pass one he would yell out with excitement... Ride Horse! I was very surprised as to how well Carter handled waiting his turn. He would stand in line for everything we did, looking to us for guidance on when it would be his turn. He would patiently wait while saying turn? I never thought he would understand he needs to wait his turn at such a young age.
Here we are about to go into one of many 3-d Shows
Meeting Pluto
Here are some beautiful pictures of Cinderella's Castle all lit up at night. The pictures do not do it justice.

At the hotel we started our vacation at, there was characters throughout the resort. Huey Duey and Louey were playing baseball and Carter joined them.

Animal Kingdom
Here is Carter meeting some characters at Animal Kingdom
Rafiki
Jimminy Cricket
Here we are on Safari


While in Dino Land Carter played in the Dino Playground. He heard some dinosaur noises coming out of a corner. He went to investigate and when he heard the roar he ran so fast to find Daddy.
We saw the Nemo Musical. This was the best musical I have ever seen. I highly recommend it to everyone!
Pooh's Corner
Meeting Pooh
Meeting Eeyore or as Carter calls him Ear!
Meeting Tigger
Carter even got to meet Stitch!
Here is Carter meeting up with Minnie, Mickey and Goofy again. Carter loves Minnie. I had a hard time getting him away from her. Anytime he saw Minnie things in the store he wanted them. The photographer said, he has good taste.


MGM
At MGM we had lunch at the Drive-In.
Carter met Woody and Buzz together.
We played in the Honey I shrunk the kids playground.
Carter met Mike Wasowski and Sully.

He even shook hands with Indiana Jones' stunt double. Too bad Carter was not wearing his t-shirt that says I do all my own stunts.
Breakfast at Chef Mickey
We got to have breakfast with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Donald. When Minnie came around to our table, Carter patiently waited his turn. After hugging Minnie and getting a picture with her he turned and pointed to the boy at the table next to us. He told Minnie to go hug him. My boy is so sweet!



The second Hotel we stayed at had its own splash pad. This turned out to be Carter's favorite thing to do.




We took a day to go to Jenson beach and visit Grammy. Carter loves going to the beach but is terrified of the ocean. My guess is that he hates the loud noise and the fact that the waves come after him. We even got to see Man of war on the beach. Those are jelly fish. Carter quickly picked up on the fact that they come from the ocean and now when he sees the ocean (even from the plane) he says Jelly Fish. He says it in the cutest way! When visiting Grammy we even got to play at the pool and go for dinner afterwards. At dinner a clown made Carter the best balloon animal I have ever seen. We were so sad to leave Grammy and Carter was extremely upset when he woke and Grammy left him without any hugs or kisses. He told us so... Thank you Grammy for letting us visit. We had a great time.



Carter enjoyed taking pictures of his own!

Universal Studios
We played in Dr. Seuss land
We rode a carousel
We rode in some flying fish that sprayed us

Carter met some Dr. Seuss characters
This is Grinch. Carter was very unsure.
We played in Dino land
Carter met Spider Man. Carter gave him a huge hug.

He also got to meet Jimmy Neutron and Dora.
After doing the Shrek 4-D show (which was very exciting) Carter got to meet Shrek, Donkey and Fiona. Carter even shook Fiona's hand and said Nice to meet you.
When he met Sponge Bob Square Pants all he wanted to do was try to open the door to Squidworths house.
When walking to the chidren's section at Universal we ran into Marilyn and a guy. I am not sure who the guy is but Carter had the picture thing down. He turned and posed with them both. Not realizing the guy was already in the picture after I snapped away he pushed Marilyn out of the way and posed with the guy. Anybody know who that is?
There was a tube water slide in the kids section. I watched and when the parents came down they did not get very wet. I thought this would be safe to take Carter down. Somehow I managed to get soaked and we still had an hour left there. It was cold!


Right before leaving Universal we walked by Jaws. Carter could not wait till it was his turn and he could go up and touch the scary shark.

We had dinner at Wolf GangPucks. Here is Carter and I having a pirate sword fight.
In downtown disney there is a legos store. There are some amazing large creatures made out of legos. One of the amazing creations was this. Carter got in the picture to walk the dogs.
That was our last night there. We had a great time and Carter was so patient and good. We are so blessed because Carter is a really good kid. He listens well, rarely complains, is patient, waits his turn, friendly and just the biggest love I know. While in Disney Carter really came out of his shell. He said hi to just about anyone that would say hi back. He even said hi to people that did not notice. He tried to give 5 (donnez moi cinq)to just about anybody including kids just walking past us. He hugged almost every disney character he met. He said thank you to anyone that provided service to us and had a great time making friends. I could not believe this was the same kid that at home is usually shy. I hope it sticks!

Just want to say Thank you to Nani and Papa for picking us up from the airport. We appreciated it a lot and had a great time being able to tell you all about our trip. Lunch was delicious too! Love you guys! Thank you!
