Disneyworld

Our trip to Disneyworld was so much fun! Mason got to meet Mickey Mouse and he gave him a big kiss on the nose.
We were a little worried about how everything was going to turn out. We left Jacksonville to drive to Orlando around 11, Mason's nap time. The thought was that he would sleep the whole 2 hour car ride and be ready to go when we got there. The stinker stayed awake the whole ride and finally fell asleep the last 25 minutes of the ride.

When we got to the hotel and checked in, I tried to get Mason to fall back to sleep for about an hour, but he did not fall asleep, even though he was dead tired. So, we decided to just go ahead and go to Disneyworld with no nap.

It was raining on and off the whole day, so we had to wear ponchos around the park.

It ended up being ok though because most of the rides were covered or inside. I think it would've been more fun if it were nicer out, but we still had a great time. Here is Mason riding on the horsey.Playing in the pretend house...

Riding in the teacup ride...
Maybe it is more fun to ride on Daddy's lap...
Waiting in line isn't so bad...

Mason's favorite ride was called "It's a Small World". It was a boat ride through a tunnel with a bunch of little people singing. He loved this ride! Here are a few pics...

Even with the rain and without a nap, we really had a great time! Mason actually ended up in a good mood, and he wasn't cranky. I guess there was so much entertainment that it kept him awake. When we got back to the hotel room, we ate some dinner. Normally, when I put Mason to bed, it takes him 20-30 minutes of squirming around before he falls asleep. He was so exhausted from the long day and no nap. It was about 10pm when I laid him down in the hotel. I sat him on the bed and told him to lay down. He laid down on his stomach and did not move one single inch. I swear he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the bed.

Great pictures. It looks like Mason had lots of fun. I'm glad you had a good trip!

So you just need to "entertain" him that much everyday and he'll be the best sleeper ever! I'm sure you can find as much excitement at home as there was at Disney, right?
