Catching up...

Running woefully behind on November updates... Let's start with Halloween. 

Mathias is a newly minted Star Wars fan (counting the days until the Dec 18 release of the Force Awakens) decided to dress up as a Storm Trooper.  

Johan likes all things Minions. So his choice was easy. A pair of denim overalls, a yellow shirt, a pair of goggles, and voilà!

The boys got to introduce Farmor and Farfar to the tradition of Trick or Treating. In a couple of hours they rounded up about six pounds of candy! 

Disney World - day IV

For our final day of vacationing we headed back to the magic kingdom. We had an early start and beat the crowds. The boys cherry picked their favorite attractions and by early afternoon we headed back to the hotel (and the pool). 

We hadn't made it home yet before the boys started scheming a return trip!

Disney World - day III

The third day we went to EPCOT. In spite of many of the attractions seeming suspiciously educational we really enjoyed it.  Both boys would say Mission Space was their favorite, closely followed by Soarin'.  Ericka sat out both of them to avoid motion sickness.  Smart move. We ate our way through the countries represented. Other than the pastries in Norway, the boys didn't partake. 

Disney World - day II

Day 2 we headed to Disney's Hollywood Studios. This was brand new as we didn't go there last time. The boys enjoyed the two stunt shows - one Indiana Jones themed and one with cars.  Mathias got to go on the Star Wars ride (he has recently discovered the joys of space travel and light sabers). Johan enjoyed the many Toy Story rides, displays, and characters (including lunch at Pizza Planet).
