There were lots of wonderful moments on our vacation. One of my favorite memories was the Rockin' Roller Coaster. The boys really wanted to ride, but the line was ninety minutes long. As we stopped to talk about whether the ride would be worth the wait a young Disney cast member came over to us and asked if we wanted to ride. We said yes but the wait was too long. She replied that she had just been told to pick a family for a VIP tour of the ride and she picked us. We bypassed the long line and she took us onto the ride telling us all how she loved working on this ride. At the close of every day they enjoy an all-cast ride and everyone who works the ride goes on it together. She loved it. Grampa and I decided to skip the ride itself, but did enjoy the pre-ride show. The boys loved it and agreed that it was the best ride of the week. You can see their joy in this picture as they sped out of the starting gate.
Another favorite moment was from the day we decided to sleep late and skip the Disney crowds. We went to Gatorland for a couple of hours of alligator viewing. We fed the gators and watched an alligator show. It really was great fun with no crowds.
Vacations with grandchildren make wonderful memories!

What is Mik wearing?
in the last picture, around his neck?
That would be his dream pet - a boa constrictor.
The look on their faces on the roller coaster is priceless....as for the boa....I will never complain about my daughter's pet rat ever again.
Those are some lucky grandsons! :)
I liked that ride a lot too.
How lovely! :)
And I love the title of your blog--how true it is! :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your words of kindness. When I was feeling depressed about death, my husband said, "We live because life is awesome!" And he is right. We have to appreciate this gift we have been given in every moment. :)
You are amazing, what a wonderful memory for those boys.
My son texted me from Gatorland asking for a new pet. At least he doesn't want a gator!
Thanks Mom!
