Knights!

Ali took all of us to Medieval Times where we met a king, a princess, watched knights battle, and ate chicken with our fingers. It was wonderful!!! I loved cheering for the black knight. It was all amazing and exciting. I couldn't stop jumping for joy.

Universal Studios

We left Disney for one day to see Harry Potter, Dr. Seuss, and Marvel superheros at Universal Studios. I really wanted to get a wand from Ollivanders, but I had to settle for a Spiderman web shooter. Mom kept reminding me that I'm not old enough to do magic yet anyway. Oh well.

It looks just like the movies! 

We rode on Buckbeak's ride, but the other Harry Potter rides were only for mommy and daddy.

We saw the Grinch show, rode the Cat and the Hat ride, and played in the water area.

Best of all I met my heroes, Captain America, Spiderman, and Wolverine. 

I even saw the villain Dr. Doom.

My rides too

Just like Cole, I went on tons of fast and crazy rides. I wasn't tall enough for Space Mountain and I was too scared for the Tower of Terror and the Haunted Mansion. But I went on all the other rides with him.

We all rode horses on the carousel.

I rode on Dumbo with Nana! 

I was a little scared at first, but then I loved Pirates of the Caribbean. Mommy and daddy even bought me a pirate gun and sword!

I drove a car with mommy on the Speedway.

I even played in the water park in Fantasyland.

Favorite Disney rides

Lucky me, I measured exactly the right height to go on all the craziest rides at Disney World. My absolute favorites were Space Mountain and the Tower of Terror. I loved any ride that was fast or scary, like Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Star Wars, and Goofy's Barnstormer.

Space Mountain was my all time favorite. I rode it with mommy, daddy, and grandfather!

I drove a car on the Speedway.

I flew a rocket on the astro orbiter.

Luke was too scared to go on the Haunted Mansion, but I wasn't. I went four times!

 Star Wars!

I also went to the Hall of Presidents. It wasn't a crazy ride, but I liked it anyway.

All the people we met!

Mickey! Chip and Dale! Woody and Jesse! Donald Duck! Mary Poppins! Everywhere we went at Disney World we saw our favorite characters and some of them even gave us hugs and took pictures with us. The rest of them waved and said hi to us during the parades in the park.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse visited us at the Wilderness Lodge. They are all dressed up for Christmas!

Chip and Dale are my favorites! We told them to be nicer to Donald Duck.

I asked Chip for a nut and he found one for me!

We saw Woody, Jesse, and a green army man from Toy Story!

We even saw the evil Emperor Zurg at the end of the Buzz Lightyear ride. Thank goodness he was just a statue! He's a scary villain!

Disney World!

Disney World is the most magical place on earth! Its true. Mickey Mouse told me so. My dreams did come true. I saw a real castle, rode crazy roller coasters, watched fireworks and parades and much much more. Every day we went to the park. We also played with Ali, Dan, Dexter, Nana and Grandfather. At Disney World it is warm and sunny, people give you lots of Mickey stickers, and you get to eat dessert first at every meal.

Oh yeah! Luke and I also took our first airplane ride!

We're going to Disney World!

Tomorrow morning we are leaving for Disney World! I promise that when I get back I will share tons of pictures and stories about our visit. See you soon Mickey and Donald.... and Ali, Dan, Dexter, Nana, and Grandfather!

Last park class

Today was my last park class of the year. We have been doing science every week. Today we went on a bear hunt through the grass, the water, the mud, a forest, a snowstorm and into a cave. It was all pretend and Mr. AJ was the bear. Afterwards we got to make our own mud out of flour, salt, coffee grounds, and water. It was hard to say good bye to Miss Summer, Miss Jeannine, and Mr. AJ. Maybe mommy will sign me up to take more classes with them next year.

I was amazed by the bear cave.

Look at me making my mud!

iPad addict

Leave me alone! I'm playing my iPad Batman game. Just 1,500 more points and I can buy Green Lantern.

Cleaning up

Sometimes I like to be mommy's helper. I'm cleaning the house so we can be ready to go to Disney World!

Outtakes

It is really hard to pose for Christmas card pictures. I tried my best. Here are a few pictures that didn't make the card.

Santa

This year I told Santa that I was mostly a good boy and I asked him for a Rip Stick, a spark scooter, and Legos. Luke told Santa that he wanted those things too! I kept trying to tell Luke that those were my ideas and he needed to ask for toys he want, but he just didn't get it. I suppose they are better than asking for glasses and a coffee cup.

Foul!

I've been learning lots of skills in basketball camp. I came up with fouling all on my own.

Face first

My name is Luke, and sometimes I land on my face in the mulch.
