Keeping
the tradition alive, we visited Disney's Magic Kingdom and went to the
Barber Shop for Benji's very first (much needed) haircut!
On our way to the Magic Kingdom!!!
Last shot before these locks get cut!
We made it to the hotel and got the boys to bed,
so they would be ready for a big day at Disney!
Meanwhile, Bubby works on some Cheerios
necklaces (great food for a road trip)!
Up and at 'em! Ready for some breakfast before hitting the park!
SO ready for a haircut!
Too excited to contain himself!
On our way!
First stop --- the Barber Shop!
Benji's 1st Haircut 10.02.15
Starting out with a few distractions....
Not buying it!
The first cut!
A little misty water to help along the way....
NOT having it!
Help me, Mama!
Starting to calm down.
Maybe not!
Seriously -- get me outta here!
Benji -- not a fan of the cut.
Maybe a toy distraction?
Maybe not.
Maybe a Bubby distraction?
Maybe a Grandma with a Minnie distraction!
A few last touches.
Getting his ears!
Still not sure about it.
You did it!
Ahhhh, that's better!
So traumatic -- I need a bottle.
The good news? As we walked out -- Pluto (Josh's favorite!!) was out waiting to greet us!
Eric gives Josh a lift to our next adventure!
Josh checks in on Benji to make sure he's doing okay!
On to tomorrowland -- starting with the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin!
Amateurs
Getting closer....
Better yet!
Check out this pro!
A Daddy Family Favorite --- the Tea Cups!
Ready to spin!
Round and round and round!
Teacups 2015
I think their eyes are still spinning!
Everybody off!

Victory is his!
Papa, Mommy, Daddy, Aaron, and Eric all decided to head towards Space Mountain!
Space Mountain Selfie!

Walk
A & E were too excited to not get Derek some pre-birthday presents while at the park:
Making sure it fits.
Darth Mickey meets lite up/talking R2D2!
Pooped already!
Nap over. Time for "It's A Small World!"
So happy!
True amazement!
It's a small world after-all....
From one boat to the next --- Pirates of the Caribbean!
Careful, Derek, Aaron knows his way on the water!
Josh opted for a Mickey Ice Cream while Daddy urged Derek (now tall enough for the big rides) to join us on Splash Mountain!!!
Splash Mountain -- Derek did great. Only, check out his face in this picture! I've never seen him so terrified in his life! He didn't cry --- until he got off the ride.
First time, front row! (Derek could barely see over the handle bar)!
To ease his mind -- The Haunted House -- which he really loved!
Last up, Thunder Mountain. Daddy convinced Derek this one is better and he will really like it --- Mommy had her hesitations.
Derek takes a peak at what's to come.
Braving it up for a quick wave.
I think this face says it all --- again, no tears until we got off.
Don't worry, Derek, NO MORE! Now let's have some ice cream and enjoy a parade!
When we got off the ride, the parade was just about to start -- we took it all in, from the very same spot we saw it last time (crazy coincidence --- both times, walking from one place to the next, and finding the perfect, shady place)!
Those scary rides are already a distant memory.
Same sweet spot as last visit!
Anyone for a magic carpet ride?
Now this ride is more Derek's style!
Josh had fun giving Bubby a tour of up and down!
Josh, new to the potty training bit, did a great job on the car ride up and throughout the park! When Grandma gave him her ice pop and he realized he had to go potty, he asked Bubby to hold his ice pop. He left, came back, and 90 degrees outside/a few minutes later he couldn't believe that his ice pop was gone!!!
A look of disbelief.
Cursing Bubby with his eyes.
Disgust and disappointment.
Unbelievable.
Don't worry --- Grandma got him another!!!
Aaron makes sure Josh is still smiling!
Next stop -- race cars!!!
Hey, Hey! Bubby is tall enough to ride this year! Next time...we'll have to see!
Aaron was in charge of photography while Mama drove (sort of).
Another photographer on set!
The thumbs up of approval -- it even looks like Eric agrees!
Mommy wishes Bubby were this calm when she was learning how to drive!
Overall, a great haircut, a fun day, and lots of memories!!!
Benji summarizes the day.
SO happy. SO tired.
The best Godfathers in the Universe!
They chose to join us on this day,
and made it even more memorable for our boys!
Last stop --- the ride back to the car:
Thank you Bubby, Papa, and Grandma!!!
Darth Bubby -- I think it's safe to say, we finally found a hat that looks good on her!
A late day. A stop off for dinner on the way back to the hotel.
Josh fell asleep at the restaurant, but when we got back to the hotel was ready for more!
