Beautiful day for a train ride in North Georgia.  We drove to Blue Ridge to go on a train ride for the afternoon.  I think the boys had a great time... I would have liked to have been in the open air car, but it was still beautiful scenery!

I am so excited about a weekend away with great friends!  We are spending the weekend in the North Georgia mountains!

Our first soccer "game!"  Today was the last day of soccer practice so they played a game.  It was so cute to see the kids run around with no idea of where they were going or should be going.  I think our team, the green team, scored all of their goals in their own goal!

Fall nights on the dock are beautiful.  We grilled out tonight and I tried to get my boys to "help me with my lighting" so I could get some pretty pictures with the colorful leaves.  Blake was a big helper, Charlie is getting pretty tired of all the pictures... I don't blame him!

Chick-fil-a does Superhero / Princess night every year.  This year my boys love superheroes.  After soccer we had free dinner with Spiderman, Wolverine, and Buzz Lightyear.

Time to pack up and head home.  I hate to say it, but I am ready.  We packed a lot into our 4 days, and this momma is tired.  So are the boys...

Last day at Disney World!  We spent the day at Magic Kingdom again.  I think this is the best park for young kids.  It was much more crowded today then it was on Thursday night.  We mastered the Fast Pass though, so we never waited in line longer than 20 minutes.  I don't think the boys would have lasted any longer.  We were out again until 11:30 at night.  I am so exhausted and so are the boys.  Four days is plenty for us at Disney!  What a magical 5th birthday for my baby!

Waiting in line to meet Jessie and Woody.

Jessie and Woody were the only characters that Blake would walk up to.  He was scared of all the others.  I was so amazed.  He seemed to only talk to Jessie though...

Waiting for Charlie and Daddy to pass by on the roller coaster.

Their favorite dinner... corn dogs, cheetos, and coke!  It is going to be hard to break this habit when we get home!

Today we spent the day at Animal Kingdom.  I think this was Blake's favorite place.  He loved the safari ride... my favorite too.  Charlie wanted to go on the big roller coaster with Chad... Everest!!  It looked pretty scary.  When we got off he said that was fun but he never wants to go on it ever again in his whole like :)

Best animals on the Safari!

Charlie and Chad in the front car of Everest!  I love their faces in these pictures!

We watched the 3D Bugs Life movie... both boys were scared!

Today we explored Downtown Disney and then went to the Magic Kingdom for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.  It was awesome!  Lines were shorter and the boys loved trick-or-treating.  I think their favorite was the parade!

It is time for Disney!!!!  Today we start our drive to Disney World for Charlie's 5th birthday trip, but before we left we had a little hiccup in our plan.  The plan was to leave around 8:00 in the morning... we left around 10:00.  Want to know why... Charlie was in the ER!!  He decided to stick his finger in the drain of our shower and it would not come out.  Chad tried to cut the shower drain, but our tools would not touch it.  His finger was swelling up so fast that I thought he needed to go to the hospital.  After Chad pulled out of the driveway I was a mess.  I called my mom crying and decided to call the hospital to let them know he was on the way.  Then I called my friend that used to work in the ER and she called a couple times to make sure he would be okay.  The worst part was when my little boy looks into my eyes for help and I can not do a thing to make it better.  But the bottom line is... he is fine and we left for Disney a little late.

After an 8 hour drive we made it.  The boys were so excited.  We stayed at the Wilderness Lodge... awesome hotel!!  They had a fire on the beach every night for roasting marshmellows.  We are so excited for a magical time!

We could see and hear the fireworks at Magic Kingdom from our room.
