Kiddie Park

Wade rode his first rides at the kiddie park. He even rode the airplanes, which is always carrying a few screaming kids, and he loved them!


So, Grace, what's the big deal about the kiddie park anyhow?

I guess this is alright.

I LIKE IT!

NO, I LOVE IT!

(after the ride actually starts) "WHOA!"

Give me a minute!

I could just kiss this boy's cheeks off!

Disney World

Magical! In the weeks leading up to our trip Luke and I made fun of Disney World and its obsession with the adjective "magical." We ate our words! It is magical, it really is! :) Watching Grace's face light up in amazement (like every ten minutes) was the highlight of the trip! I will warn you: you will most definitely need a vacation to recover from this vacation! We opened the park in the morning, went swimming in the afternoon, and closed the park in the evening...all five days. We had a blast; all three of us! And Wade had a great time at Aunt Marilyn's! We missed him like crazy, but cherished our time with Grace. Our better photos were captured with our photo pass but here are a few of our own.
Grace's first plane trip. We were held up on the runway and she got a little aggravated. "When is this thing going to blast off anyway?"
We ate lunch in Cinderella's castle. She was chosen to be the princess of the day.

She took making a wish very seriously.

The parades were her favorite!

A luau at Ohana's. (It is 11:00 pm!)

We hunted for Mary Poppins. Grace thought she must be tending to Jane and Michael.

I honestly did not think this was possible. This girl can go all day and night and we managed to knock her out two nights in a row!

The weather was beautiful! Grace and I were just a little chilly because we got SOAKED on the rapid ride. Lucky seats!

We stayed at Disney's Port Orleans and we loved it!

Grace made a ton of friends on this trip. Luke said I should have made a scrapbook of all the people Grace met on the bus. This sweet little girl watched the fireworks with Grace. After they started, she looked at Grace and exclaimed, "Isn't this the best day of your life!"
We missed you bubba!
