Disney Trip Day #1: Animal Kingdom

Disney World was magical! I know that sounds so cheesy, but it is true! The kids were just in awe of EVERYTHING and it was so fun seeing Disney through their eyes. Our two days were just perfect! The weather was cool, there were hardly any lines longer than 15 minutes, and the kids did great going all day with nonaps! PERFECT!!!

On the first day, we went to Disney's Animal Kingdom. Sully was SO excited for the safari ride and to see all the animals! The day did not disappoint! We did everything and even saw a lot of the Disney characters! Enjoy the pictures...I took a million of them and just picked out some of my favorites. :)

Ready forthe safari!

So is Ansley!

Sully was SO happy to finally be on that safari ride...he had been talking about it for days!! :)

An ostrich came right up to our car!!! Looks like he is smiling at Sully! :)

The safari ride was the highlight, but there was still a whole lot to do at Animal Kingdom. The kids saw all kinds of animals, dinosaurs, they played on a huge playground, dug for dinosaur bones, and saw a bunch of Disney characters!

Notice the map Sully is holding...he was our tour guide for the day. :)

Love that sweet face...

Halloween this year was SO fun! Brett and I even participated in the fun with our dinner club costume party with friends the weekend before Halloween. The kids had lots of costume parties with friends, a trunk or treat at church, and, of course, the big day was filled with lots of trick or treating and candy! Sully was Batman this year and Ansley was Wonder Woman (she thought she was Super Girl). Here are some pictures from all of our Halloween fun this year.

The Palmer's fall adventures part 1

I know I said I was going to try to be better about updating...well, since my last post was on September 8th and today is November 24th, we all know how well I carried out my plan! :) We have been very busy and have had a lot of things going on in the past few months.

My last post asked you all to keep sweet Ava Sentell in your prayers. Thank you all for your kind words and for keeping her and her family in your thoughts every day. She fought a hard battle and was the bravest 4 year old girl I will ever meet. If you didn't already hear, sweet Ava became an angel up in heaven at the end of October. We will forever remember her infectious laugh and smile and she will trulybe missed. We love you, Ava. Please continue to pray for her family, especially her parents, Christina and Casey, and her little brother, Dylan. They all need prayers for strength and peace.

Since my last post...

Ansley started school!

She was SOOOO excited to start school! She LOVES school, her teachers, getting to wear a backpack, carpool...she loves it all!

Bye, Mommy!!!

We went apple picking up in North GA...

Ansley and Sully probably ate 6-7 apples each! They cannot control themselves when they go picking for fruit! :) :)

Pretty day!

Mommy and the kiddos!:)

On the same day we went to Burt's pumpkin patch and had a great time!

Sweet Ansley

Sully! :)

Singing!

Malley, Turner, and Ms. Catey were with us for our apple picking and Burt's adventure...Sully and Malley had a great day together! :)

Sully took Malley on a date for her birthday. Sully took Malley to Jason's Deli for lunch and then to "All Fired Up" which is a paint your own pottery place. They each painted a bowl and had a great afternoon!! Happy 5th Birthday, Malley!!
