The Jacobs Do Disney...day two

We woke up bright and early and headed to Magic Kingdom!!!


Grandpa and Grandma got in late the night before and we were so excited to meet them at the bus stop.


We got to Magic Kingdom in time to see the Welcome Show!  It was a fun way to start the day!


♫ Good Mornin'
Good Mornin' to you ♫ ♪ ♪


We met Mickey Mouse first thing!



Next, we headed to Adventureland where we rode the Magic Carpets!  Carter was super excited about this ride and it turned out to be his very favorite!  "Watch out, the camels spit!"





After an unsuccessful adventure with the Pirates of the Caribbean which both kids did NOT like, we went to Frontierland.  We rode Splash Mountain.  Carter liked it "a little bit" and Grace loved it!


When we got off Splash Mountain, we met Woody and Jessie! 


Next was Grandpa's favorite...Country Bear Jamboree.  Grace giggled throughout the entire show.  So, Grandpa's tradition may live on!


After lunch, we headed to Fantasyland.  Our first stop was Enchanted Tales with Belle.  This was super cute especially since Grace was chosen to be Chip!




We rode Peter Pan's Flight and got to meet him.


It was getting hot and we were all pretty tired.  We grabbed some ice cream and left to go take much needed naps!



After our naps, we came back to the park and met Tinkerbell.



She was so cute and Carter loved her!



Grace is at the perfect age to visit Disney World and she was enjoying every little thing!


She really had a wonderful time at dinner!  We ate at the Crystal Palace with the characters from Winnie the Pooh.  That girl giggled and bounced the entire time we were there!


Carter only liked Piglet...he waved goodbye with his ear and that may have been Carter's favorite part of the entire trip!




After dinner, we gathered around Cinderella's castle for the Celebrate the Magic show on the castle and the Wishes fireworks show.


Celebrate the Magic was like the neatest thing ever.  Look it up on YouTube.  It was amazing!  Of course, the best part is when the entire park sings "Let It Go" all together. 


Carter doesn't really enjoy fireworks so, he just watches them through his fingers.


Once, we made it back to our hotel...we crashed!

The Jacobs Do Disney...day one

We are back from Disney World where we had so much fun and took way too many pictures!  If you don't care to see all these pictures then avert your eyes now and go ahead and keep looking away for a week or so!  Last week, we drove through these magical gates...where dreams come true!!!


We went to Downtown Disney and checked out this cool Lego Store.





Next, we shopped at The World of Disney...the kids had some spending money that was already burning a hole in their pockets!



After much and I mean much deliberation, they decided on a lollipop and a rice crispy treat.  Ha!


We were all totally overwhelmed by all the people, shops, and "stuff" that we decided that we should go ahead and check in to our hotel and relax as much as you can relax in Disney World.


We ate lunch, got settled in, and went swimming!



When we came back to the room, Mickey and Minnie surprised us!


We had a great first day, but that was just the beginning!

Agency D3 VBS

The entire Jacobs family had a fun exciting week at VBS!  John led recreation, I helped teach 2nd grade, and Agent Grace and Agent Carter were solving many cases in order to discover, decide, and defend what they knew about Jesus!  After a fun week of crafts, games, songs, Bible verses, Bible stories, and secret missions, we had 23 kids ask Jesus to be their Savior!!!
