The beginning of our Disney adventure: Magic Kingdom!
This is just before we took the genuine steam engine train ride to Toon Town.

Exploring Mickey's House. Look how focused Ayden is on every detail.
Pluto's house. Watch out for poop!

That's our hostess with the mostest, cousin Peyton, on the left.
Watching the parade.

Ian was the only one who got to rest.
We were all feeling that way, but there was still so much to do!

We got in our room at around 5pm to drop off our bags and ran out again for dinner.
We ate at Animal Kingdom Lodge's "Boma" restaurant. YUM!!

Andrew and Meredith requested their friend's table, and he brought this out for dessert!

The kids needed the sugar so they could make it through the rest of the night.
Another treat for dessert!

Our comical attempt to get a picture in front of the Mickey garden.

Waiting for Tinkerbell to start the fireworks display.
(Finally a picture of Meredith & Andrew!)

Watching the fireworks with daddy.

We had NO WAIT!! to see Mickey & Minnie. (It was right before their bedtime)

Day two: We headed to Animal Kingdom. This is the tree of life. There are animals carved all over the trunk. It's amazing. I have SO MANY pictures already, so I won't be sharing any more. I urge you to look it up. WOW!

Again, NO WAIT to see the Pooh characters.
Ayden really enjoyed meeting and hugging all of them.

Eeyore is my favorite!

Pooh bear getting some Hutch boy lovin'.

All Ayden wanted the whole trip was a lollipop. He finally got one! We also got them the Mickey ears ice cream bar. WHAT A MESS!!
There you have it! Our two day Disney adventure. We left Thursday, drove to Tallahassee and got a hotel room. Friday around lunchtime we made it to Meredith & Andrew's (they live a little north of Orlando). We hung out and stayed at their house, then Saturday morning we went to Magic Kingdom & stayed in the Disney resort that night. Sunday was Animal Kingdom, then back to hang out with Meredith & Andrew (Peyton too, of course). Monday morning we went outlet shopping with Mert and Peypey, then we drove ALL DAY, ALL THE WAY HOME. We were not crying wee-wee-wee. It was WHAAA-WHAA-WHAA. It was worth it to drive that long though and sleep in our bed and have a full day to recover before Ayden had to go back to school. We had an excellent time visiting family and Mickey. See you real soon...

so i looked @ this post with my phone...it was different! no pictures for some reason, but all the text was there! sounds like y'all r having a BLAST! i'm a bit jealous ;)
I want to go to Disney so bad, and you just made it that much worst! I'm glad ya'll had fun filled weekend!
Whew, how do you do it PG and all!! You look good PG by the way. What fun, Ayden can really get into it at his age. Ian really looks different with the hair cut. Do a butch style and he's a mini Josh. Paw Paw says he looks like PAW PAW!!
Ok, this is totally off the subject- but you have really nice teeth! I was looking at your pictures from this trip and thinking- man her teeth are nice! I know that was totally random, but I thought you should know :-0
Oh and you look great BTW! Have you found that you are carrying smaller this go around? I think it's because we're having girls! Yipee! :-)
It looks like you guys had an awesome time. I love the picture of Ian passed out- so much to do but-I-just-can't-stay-awake-Zzzzz!
And Ayden is looking at Minnie Mouse like 'Are you for real?'
Great pics!
SO JEALOUS! We had an amazing trip to Disneyland when we went last December right before Addy was born. I want to go back so bad but will wait until Addy is older so she can enjoy it too.
Huge fans! Glad you had fun! It's so fun to go in the off season. Going in December we had no wait either to see all the characters. And the weather in cali was AMAZING! We will never go during the summer ever!
I can't believe you guys did DisneyWORLD in 2 days! We spent 4 at Disneyland which I think was perfect. Any less I feel like we would have been rushed!
We have been waiting for Jack to be more controllable to go. Now we have to herry up while the baby is still in the stroller. Its really cool that you guys did that for your kids. I know it was not easy, being 39 months preggo. Ian looks more like Josh nowadays. Pawpaw needs glasses!
Mom, Lexi, thanks for the preggo compliments. That made my day. Nikki, you have to see the pictures too when you get a chance.
Lacey, we get to go enough (and we usually get in free) that we're okay with missing a few rides until the next time. This was Ayden's third trip!
Travis, there's a good deal going on right now: pay for 4 nights, get three free. Believe it or not, the economy is hurting ol' Walt. There's always some kind of special like that going on (I'm sure you're not ready to hop up and go right now-or are you?). 39 months preggo?! Yer nuts. I still see Paw-paw in Ian's eyes, but I see Travis, Jack, Ayden AND Josh in him too. He's a good mix of all of you handsome devils!
I cannot believe you did all that in just a couple of days. We went to Disneyland (with nobody but us) and it took us almost three or four days to do everything we wanted. I think parents have some sort of supernatural strength...or maybe it is just the Hutchinsons.
Very cool! Now y'all can make a quick trip out to Idaho to hang out with me:) JUST KIDDING. But seriously, wish you were all here. Looks like y'all had a good time and got some nice tans:)
just saw the pictures...you are very pregnant! and those boys are getting SO BIG!!! come back to idaho NOW, before they're teenagers!
