Classic
And it just would not be a trip to Disney without meeting these guys. Do you notice one Keiglet missing? Yes. Bergen waited in line for over forty minutes to meet Mickey and Minnie. At the very last minute, however, he bailed. After forty minutes waiting in line – it was not worth a battle.

Mosely is Six
Birthdays. I love them. Mosely celebrated Six while we were on our vacation. In honor of that number and that stinkin’ adorable little girl – here are Six things I love about Mosely. One. She loves her little sister. When Mosely wakes up in the mornings she eases up to my side of the bed and asks quietly, “May I wake up little Pipes?” And once I agree Mosely makes every effort to take care of her little sister. She tries to change her diaper and dress her in clothes that are Mosely-approved. (Which usually means a dress, of course.) She even gets her a cup of water and entertains…

Legos
It was like Lego heaven. I don’t know how your theology rolls, but I am pretty sure that if toys make the cut, then Legos will be in the after life. Just sayin’.

Frankincense – a little educating (but not by me)
how do you do it?

Bergen’s Choice
We stopped at candy stores. More than once. Each Keigley was allowed to choose one treat. Whatever they wanted. Mosely and London chose cotton candy. (I think they were influenced by the sheer size of the bag. They’re into quantity right now.) I chose a chocolate covered strawberry that was practically the size of my hand. (Maybe I am into quantity too.) Kevin and Riley chose some overwhelming chocolate/ ice cream/ waffle cone concoctions at Ghiradelli’s. And Bergen chose this. Three marshmallows dipped in chocolate then rolled in sprinkles and crushed peppermints and speared on a Mickey Mouse straw. He loved it. Savored it. Slowly eating this masterpiece of tooth…

buddies
At some point during our Florida Adventure we made our way to San Antonio. Florida, of course. We were finally able to visit my dad and Jenny at their new home. We were greeted at the door by Darryl – a super handsome greyhound who used to be quite the competitor. Piper was his biggest fan. She tried to sleep beside him in his dog bed with her own little pillow. Actually, the pillow she was lying on is part of this story. Jenny bought the smaller kids the most adorable pillows, called Owl Buddies. The kids loved them – and they made the perfect sleeping companions for the rest…

The Waiting Is the Hardest Part
At Disney’s Kingdom of Good Times, we spent a fair amount of our day waiting in lines. While in line, we chatted. We told stories. We made funny faces. We yawned. Otto Fox slept. And Piper played her own special Waiting in Line game – she pretended to pull off tiny parts of Daddy’s face and then proceeded to pretend to feed his own face to him. We all laughed a lot at that. I don’t know if it was really funny or if we were really tired of waiting in lines.

What Seems So Fun . . .
Our kids love PBS. Mosely even watches a little too much – remember? A lot of PBS shows are sponsored by Rainforest Cafe. So our kids naturally ask, “When can we go to Rainforest Cafe?” Guess what restaurant is located at Downtown Disney? Yep. So we’ve been talking this place up for months. The kids are all so excited. They think of it as a highlight on our Florida journey. They cannot wait. And then we visit. It looks like, well, a rain forest. On acid. At first the kids are amused. Entertained. The rain falling all around us is cool. The leaves of the trees hanging around the walls…
