Epcot

Epcot is awesome! Our overall favorite ride was Soarin'. The kids also liked Mission Space!
Lots of rain the day we went to Epcot so we purchased these stylin' Disney Ponchos.

There are lots of beautiful waterfalls at Epcot.


We stayed at the Disney All-Star Sports Resort. It was nice having the shuttle service take us straight to the entrance gate of each park.











Our hotel pool. Not sure how they had the energy to swim!

Hollywood Studios

William fighting Darth Vader! Our goal at Hollywood Studios was Star Wars...Star Wars...Star Wars!! The kids were so excited about the new Star Tours ride and really wanted to do the Jedi Training. Our neighbor is a travel agent for Disney and she helped us plan our trip. She told us where and when to go to get into this very popular class.
Sarah did a great job at kicking Darth Vader's bottom although she couldn't stop laughing!

Elizabeth giggling too. They will remember this day forever!

William loves Phineas and Ferb.

The movie Cars 2 opened the day we went to Hollywood Studios.

Magic Kingdom

After six nights on St. Simon's Island we took a road trip to Disney World!
We made lots of wonderful memories!

William loved the race cars. Their favorite ride at Magic Kingdom was Splash Mountain. Disney knows how to control the crowds. We did Fast Pass and did not wait more than 30 minutes for any of the rides.

Catherine was so excited to play in the rain. There were lots of great shows inside with AC and we didn't mind the afternoon rain showers to cool us off more.

St. Simon's Island, GA

We had a wonderful Green Reunion on St. Simon's Island. Everyone stayed together at the Ocean Inn and Suites. The kids spent every spare moment in this hotel pool.
We took Great Grandpa Green to Fort Frederica. He worked many years at this national park giving lectures about the history on the island.

Eric's legs are still tired!

Our evenings were spent down at the village. This picture was taken out on the pier.

We went to MooCow for our last ICEC meeting (ice cream eaters club). They had lots of fun flavors like chocolate covered potato chip and roasted sweet potato ice cream!

Fun In The Sun

Catherine's first time to see the ocean. She loved it and had no fear!
Sarah riding the waves.

The kids had fun playing with all their cousins. Above picture of Cousin Sheri helping them build a sand castle. They asked me today if we could go to her house and play. We wish all our family lived closer!

They tried to keep the tide from coming in and messing up this masterpiece but it didn't work. At least we have this picture of all their hard work.

Too Much Beach!

Cousins! All 11 Great Grandchildren.


Green Family Vacation

We started our vacation by taking the kids on their first plane ride. Elizabeth actually flew when she was 9 months old but she doesn't remember her first flight. We traveled with Great Grandpa Green and Eric's parents.
The kids could not wait to get on the airplane. William was ready to blast off!

Catherine was very busy on the plane but after we took off she fell asleep. I'm sure everyone sitting beside us was very thankful for that!

We had a beautiful memorial and committal service for Great Grandma Green at Oglethorpe Memorial Park on St. Simon's Island, GA. The kids were excited to see all their cousins from Pennsylvania and California.

Afterward, we had a nice luncheon at the church.

Komen Race 2011

We did the Komen Race this year as a family in memory of Cousin Deb.
The kids did a great job and even ran some of the 5k.

Well, Catherine didn't have to do a whole lot! She enjoyed the ride.

The kids were super excited to get these balloons at the end.

We somehow managed to get them in the car!

Ready For The Beach

The girls and I had a fun girly spa day!
Sarah picked a hot pink.

Elizabeth with pretty red. They already asked me on our way home when we were going again!

Catherine will have to wait a while longer but she is ready for the beach too.

Happy 16th Anniversary

Eric and I celebrated our 16th Wedding Anniversary this weekend. He surprised me with a new camera. I can't wait to capture all the memories on our vacation this summer.
We started dating in 1986.....25 years ago! I have been blessed with the best husband and father. Happy Anniversary, Eric. I love you!

1st Day of Summer

Yesterday was the 1st day of summer for the kids. Eric has to work longer now that he is a principal. We are going to miss having him home with us all summer.
"The plan" was to sleep till noon but it did not happen. They were way too excited about going to Nana and Papa's pool!

Catherine LOVES the water!

Elementary Graduation

This morning Eric and I watched our baby girl graduate elementary school. Above picture of Elizabeth hugging her teacher and getting her certificate. It is hard to believe she will be in middle school next year!
