Doin' Disney...Ghetto Style!

So my sister-in-law and I decided to bring both families down to Disneyworld to celebrate all of the summer birthdays in one fantastic event. The plan was fabulous.
The problem? I have six children.
Add two adults to six children and that (according to Disney) equals two bedrooms in one of their resorts. Ugh. That's double the money in a time when money is too short.

The solution? Camp Wilderness and our RV.
Anyone else cringe?


If you happen to be the outdoorsy type, perhaps this seems like a good idea. For me...well, I was less than enthusiastic. But, the kids were excited and I really wanted to see my brother and his family, so a camping we will go!

Here's our humble abode. Check out that kitchen! LOL! (and the "goofy" chef)
Being one with nature for several days didn't stop my princess from looking like a princess!
Even my punk princess was still able to manage her look.
Little Christopher felt the magic of Disney too!
We had campfire breakfasts in foil packs. Scrambled eggs and sausage!
And we dined in style.
We managed to cage all the monkeys.
Even the big ones!
Kaeleb surely doesn't seem to mind.
We slept in cramped quarters, but no one was worse for the wear.
Plus, we made S'mores!!!!
Uncle Chris and Christopher are perfecting their marshmallow toasting technique.
Kaelyn and Cousin Christopher are sure concentrating. Making s'mores is serious business!
Ashlyn and Daddy enjoyed campfire bananas. Nothing beats a roasted banana smothered in marshmallows and chocolate. (Except maybe a S'more...)
Check out these campers!
And did I mention the rain...that...never...stopped...
