Magic Kingdom

Declan and I took a day trip to Disney World. I had been really wanting to go and Rory is still a bit young to understand waiting in line so I took Declan on my own and we went to the Magic Kingdom. We went on Peter Pan, Winne the Pooh, the carousel, little kid roller coaster (he nearly had a heart attack), race cars, buzz light year, the people mover and then over to Swiss Family tree house. His favorites were race cars, buzz lightyear and the tree house.

Arrested for being too cute

We took the boys to Fire and Police event. We got to see some awesome fire trucks and police vehicles. They did some demonstrations catching bad guys and repelling down ropes. And we got a tour of the firehouse and went inside the shooting range.
