The kids could have stayed here all day.
see the water shooting over their head from one fountain to the other!
They were having the best time! They would have gotten soaked if we had not finally made them leave!























me and Tal killing time and taking our own picture while the kids are still playing with the water!

Epcot

our pictures are so random. We would take our camera out at the strangest places!

This was after the Imagination with Figment - it was really neat.
music and lights would play when you would step on the boxes. we had a little jam session going!


















Totem pole Mary Bratton!
She said that every totem pole had a story ..........so000000...... she wanting to stop at each one and try to figure out the story.
you should have heard the dumb stories that i was making up for all of these totem poles.
i had to get out of there b/c i was running out of stories!

























this was at Canada in Epcot

Rainforest Cafe and T-Rex

Our last afternoon in Disney, we went to Downtown Disney. Not too much to do for younger kids.
here are the kids digging for fossils at the T-Rex Cafe. I want to eat there next time we go - the inside of this restaurant was so neat!





















I had made reservations at The Rainforest Cafe - which also had a great atmosphere!





















I got them to sing Happy Birthday to Mary Bratton....
and I'm pretty sure she was excited about it!

Upward Cheerleading - First game!

Mary Bratton had her first Upward basketball game to cheer at on Saturday morning. She was saying for days before how nervous that she was! I was really impressed with her. I was the most happy that she had SO MUCH FUN!!!
They had only had 2 practices before the game and she learned those cheers and now practices them every day at home on her own!
It makes me happy to see her loving it so much!

























Here are all of the girls on her team!
























Megan McMinn and Mary Bratton Guest - they of course HAD to be on the same team. they are the sweetest friends!




















Upward is a faith based program that is so much fun for the kids.
It is so great for them to be involved in something like this at such a young age!
They have practice each week and they have a bible verse to learn each week!
they get awards at the end of each game.

here they all are gathered at the beginning of the game for prayer!

Half time performance

The coach suggested that they do a little half time cheer.
I did not hear her but people told me that Mary Bratton told the coach that they should all lie on the ground and kick their legs up in the air and then get up and do some other move! her coach was so sweet and dealt with it very well by saying... "we will have to practice that"
Mary Bratton apparently had a whole little performance in her head. She ended up getting the Leadership award at the end of the day!

Here she is talking to her coach about all that she had in mind!

















Here is their half time cheer! Go Mary Bratton!
















She did great and I'm so proud to see her out there with such confidence!
She has been practicing her little cheers all week and showing everyone that will watch!
Stacy Seago even got cheered for when she dropped off from carpool today!
