Ashton and I were buzzing with excitement this morning. Once we got word that Landyn was okay, we booked a vacation. Today, we are surprising the kids by taking them to Disney World in Florida.

We haven't told the kids yet. We're telling them when we wake them up. We've had this planned for a while. When Ashton and I first started to date, he would come visit me in Florida, my grandparents would take us to Disney every time.

"Okay, car is packed. Let go wake the boys" Ashton grinned walking back in the house, grabbing my hand and pulling me up the stairs to Riley's room. Both the boys slept in there because they wanted to have a sleepover.

We crept in and flipped the light on, smiling as we saw our boys cuddling together,

"Hey boys, time to get up" I kissed both their heads,

"No" Landyn muttered, making Ashton and I laugh,

"Okay then. I guess if you don't wanna get up we can't go to Disney World" Ashton faked a sigh. Both kids shot up,

"We're going to Disney World" Riley cheered,

"Let's go!" Riley jumped off the bed and ran downstairs.

Riley was definitely more awake than Landyn. Riley talked the whole way to the airport. He asked a ton of questions. Landyn told Riley to shut up, which had Ashton and I laughing but we still had to get on him for it.

We got to our terminal early so Ashton and I sat and let the boys play around, which was waking Landyn up. There wasn't many people and they stayed right by us so they weren't bothering anyone.

By the time it was time to board the plane, Landyn was fully awake just like Riley. The boys jumped the whole way onto the plane.

We were seated in the back, Landyn and I on one side of the aisle, and Riley and Ashton on the other. We both had the kids sitting on the window so they could see. And as shocking as it sounds, this is Landyn's first plane ride.

The engine roared below us and Landyn grabbed my hand while he chewed on his baby blanket,

"Look Landyn! We're in the sky! We're almost to Mickey Mouse!" Riley called across the aisle, making the old couple in front of us turn and tell us how cute the kids were.

Landyn looked around for a while then saw that Riley was watching a movie on his iPad,

"Watch movie" Landyn told me. I nodded and grabbed his iPad from his little carry on bag, grabbing the headphones and plugging them in,

"What do you want to watch?" I asked, letting him scroll through the movies himself. He stopped and clicked on Toy Story. He obviously can't read the titles but he knows what the movies look like,

"You know we will get to see Woody and Buzz at Disney World" I told him. His small eyes grew and I saw the excitement spread,

"Bring my Woody Buzz?" He tilted his head. I laughed and grabbed his toy Woody and Buzz from his bag and sat them next to him.

Hours later, we finally landed in Orlando and were walking through the airport towards the Disney busses. We didn't have to worry about luggage because Disney takes care of that.

"Bus 5 is where we're going" Ashton told me as he launched Landyn up on his shoulders. I took Riley's hand and walked with him,

"Did you hear Daddy? He said bus 5. Do you remember what the number 5 looks like?" I asked Riley. We've been working on numbers and letters. He proudly nodded and drew one in the air with the air,

"Good job buddy" Ashton smiled.

"There it is!" Riley jumped once he saw the line for the bus 5. Ashton put Landyn on his feet and the two kids ran to the line together,

"I'm excited" Ashton laughed and took my hand as we followed behind our kids.

After the bus ride, we got to our hotel. The kids bounced out of the bus. Ashton and I decided that we'd stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Ashton and I have stayed here before. We know the kids will love the animals walking around. Plus our room has a view of the animals.

Ashton checked us in and we headed up to our room. The kids were bouncing at it. I smiled and reached around them, opening the door and letting them go first. Ashton and I followed behind, listening to the tiny excited squeals,

"I think they like it babe" Ashton wrapped his arms around me, kissing my neck. I nodded and sat our backpacks down and noticed our luggage was already here.

"Animals!" Landyn yelled, pointing out to the balcony,

"Mommy! Daddy! Come on!" Riley yelled at us.

The kids were beaming seeing the animals while we stood on the balcony. Ashton and I did have plans for tonight but the kids were excited so we let it be. We still had a couple hours,

"Okay boys" I finally laughed, "We gotta get ready. We're going to go to a place called Disney Springs and eat dinner and shop tonight. Then tomorrow we're going to see Mickey Mouse"

Both kids ran into the room.

We got to Disney Springs and started walking towards where we were eating. Ashton and I were carrying Riley and Landyn. We didn't bring a stroller and there were a lot of people- and I know one of the boys would end up lost.

We got to the T-Rex restaurant and the kids went crazy. They loved it immediately,

"Be good while we eat then we will go shopping and me and Mommy will let you get a few things" Ashton told them as we took our seats.

Both the kids got chicken strips and fruit, and Ashton and I let them get the slushees in the collectible dinosaur cups. This trip is kinda a spoil them trip. Plus neither of them ever ask for anything so we figured we'd spoil them a little bit.

"So how about that guys?! Was that so cool?" Ashton beamed as we walked out,

"Dino evewywhere!" Landyn spoke with little wide eyes,

"They wee big!" Riley imputed,

"How about we go shopping now? There's a big Disney store and a Lego Store" I told them. They both nodded. Ashton put Landyn up on his shoulders and Riley walked between us, holding our hands.

We didn't buy anything at the Lego store. We just took some pictures in front of the Lego statues they had built. The kids weren't that interested in the store anyway. They just wanted to go to the Disney store.

"Okay listen, you can get one toy and one clothing item each okay?" Ashton told them. They both nodded and we started looking around. Riley tugged Ashton to the Winnie the Pooh stuff and Landyn took me to the Toy Story stuff,

"Do you see anything buddy?" I asked. Landyn was very carefully weighing his options.

Landyn was still looking when Riley and Ashton joined. Riley picked out a Disney Parks Christmas shirt and a box that had all the Pooh characters but in action figure form,

"Me too Mommy" Landyn spoke,

"Do you want the Toy Story ones?" I asked. Landyn nodded and I grabbed the Toy Story box while Ashton went and grabbed the shirt for him.

****

But the time we got back to the hotel, both kids were asleep. They fell asleep on the bus so we had to carry them back.

I got Riley to his underwear and Landyn to his diaper and tucked them both in, then got into the other bed with Ashton,

"I can't wait for Magic Kingdom tomorrow" Ashton whispered, holding me,

"I know. They're going to be so excited" I grinned,

"I think when they see their favorites in person they'll just be in heaven" Ashton laughed,

"Yeah" I yawned, "We better sleep. We have to be up early"

"Okay. I love you" Ashton kissed my lips softly,

"I love you"
