Dinner Time!

 Emily loves spaghetti!
 Having fun at Gymboree!
 Emily enjoys going through this matching picture card game.
 The first card she always looks for and finds is the kitty one.  She gets super excited when she finds it!
 Sarah showing off her Minnie hat from Disney World
We had a few nice days over Spring Break, so we took advantage of the weather and went to the playgrounds a bunch!  The girls LOVE to swing!

Day 5 - Magic Kingdom Part II

MeMe and PaPa after a long but fun day!  We love you guys, and we thank you Micky for making your dream become a reality for us!

The Wishes fireworks show!
The end of a magical day!
Emily fell asleep on the plane ride back home.  We had a little scare that the stomach bug was back on the bus to the airport, but she ended up doing just fine on the plane ride.  If anything, it was me who made sure that trash bag was close by...Miss Emily passed her sickness to me a bit too!  

Day 5 - Magic Kingdom Part II

Belle's cottage?  
Story Time with Belle!  This was an interactive show!  Belle was the only princess that didn't have a "character signing" that we were aware of, so we were told that if we participated in the story time, we would get a picture with her.  Just to make sure, almost all of us volunteered to be in the show!

Emily really liked Belle!

Ryan and Rusty volunteered to be the strong knights!

The very cool carousel

The girls enjoyed climbing through this tree house while waiting to get Tiana's autograph.
Most of you know how Emily isn't too fond of many people holding her...well, she LOVED Tiana!  Right when it was our turn to meet her, she walked right up to her and climbed into her arms and didn't leave until I got her!  

Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen!
After meeting Tiana, Emily was willing to let Uncle Andy hold her too!  Again, this isn't something you take lightly, so he took advantage of it and ended up holding her for a good hour or so!

Day 5 - Magic Kingdom Part II

 On the last day, we went to the Magic Kingdom again!  Sarah was so excited to see the princesses again, that she wanted to dress up as a princess again too!  Emily recovered from her stomach bug, and we had a wonderful day!
 The opening prior to letting us through the gates.
 Rapunzel!
 Aurora again!
 Cinderella again!
 The tea cup ride!
 Sarah shooting a bow and arrow while waiting to meet Merida.  Merida was quite popular!  We waited about 1 1/2 hours to meet her!
 Merida!
 Our wonderful stroller we rented while there!  This thing was a life saver, sans the color!
 Emily enjoyed the train ride around the park!
 The famous Dumbo ride!
 Sarah's very first rollercoaster!  This girl takes after Rusty, for sure!  She was not scared AT ALL, and later, so rode a "big girl" rollercoaster two times!

Day 4 - Hollywood Studios

 This was the day Emily and I stayed behind at the hotel because Emily was sick, so all I know is from the pictures and what Rusty and Sarah told me about the day.  



 You would always see characters walking through the park...
 I mentioned Sarah was NOT a fan of the characters on the first day, but when she saw them again, she was okay with taking pictures with them and getting their signatures!

Rusty said Sarah was mesmerized by the Beauty and the Beast show at Hollywood Studios!  These smiles are just priceless!
