 A Magical Birthday Celebration

Both of my parents turned 60 this year, so we planned a family vacation to the happiest place on earth. More than anything, Mom & Dad enjoy us all being together, but it doesn't happen too often with Adam, Cathy, & Latham in Virginia and Bethany (until recently) all over the map. Well, Disney did not disappoint. We all arrived at different times on Friday. We spent Saturday, Sunday, & Monday in the parks before leaving on Tuesday. We packed it full and went nonstop. We visited every park (Magic Kingdom & Epcot multiple times) and had a wonderful vacation together. Until our next family adventure, enjoy the following pictures. I'm sure you will wish you were with us!!

 We stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort

 Day 1 started at Magic Kingdom

 Dumbo was our first ride

 M loved all of the rides

 Magic Carpets

 Dad, Luke, Mom, Bethany, and me

By the afternoon, MK was getting crowded so we hopped over to Epcot for a few hours. 

 MK had late hours on our first night. Thanks to Gran & Granddaddy for keeping M, Craig & I were able to enjoy some rides with Bethany & Luke way past our normal bedtime.

 Day 2 started at Hollywood Studios

Doc McStuffins was one of the few characters M liked. It was so nice to enjoy a character meal each day, even if M screamed. Watching Latham with the characters made it all worthwhile!

 Toy Story Mania

 The lights at Hollywood Studios were amazing!

Notice M: She was a trooper. She was completely off her schedule and out way past her bedtime, but she did great! 

 The original Copeland gang

 Day 3 started at Animal Kingdom

The Tree of Life

 Gran & Granddaddy enjoyed being at Disney with Miriam & Latham

 We were sad Luke had to leave early and missed meeting Minnie & Mickey

 M liked the characters if they left her alone. Thanks Minnie & Mickey

We ended our trip back at MK with late hours. M slept through the parade.

Happy 60th Birthdays to Mom & Dad! I'm so glad we could celebrate & spend time together. We look forward to more family vacations in the future.
