Monday was Disney day. And since we took such a long and late nap Sunday, it was late to bed and early to rise again as you will see in the first few pictures haha! Since we wanted the trip to be a surprise, we didn't build Disney up very much. We threw bits and pieces out there every now and then, but not too much. Helen is very observant and hangs onto every word and the meaning so we didn't want to give too much away. A couple nights before we left, she, out of the blue, started talking about how she wanted to go back to Orlando and by the time we were done talking about it, she was pretty much convinced that was where we were going. So we had to throw some distractions out there - could be the beach, Atlanta, Gramma's.....then she wasn't so sure. Anyway, so when it was actually time to go to Disney, of course Helen and Aubree were excited, but Allisyn had no idea what was going on. I wish we had prepared her more for it.
Aubree's excited face! Love it!!
Here we are!!
In the parking lot, on the way in. Notice the three sets of ears.
Here start the "grumpy" pictures. "The sun is bright!" "I'm cold!" Boohoo ;)
On the ferryboat ride over to the park. Notice only 2 sets of ears. At this point we discovered we had ALREADY lost a set of ears, a hairbow(we found that later in the van, though), and a shoe. Yes, a SHOE!!! How does that happen without us noticing?!!? So, first stop, had to find Aubree a new pair of shoes. We had to pay $15 for a pair of flip flops and honestly, that is probably the most we have ever paid for a pair of shoes for any of the girls!! Anyway, of course, they loved the boat ride.....
....and finally seeing the castle for the first time!!
Attempt at getting each of their pictures in front of the castle....they weren't having it and I forgot to get it later so this is what we have, lol!!
Family pic in front of the castle.
Aubree's awe face on the ride "It's a Small World". They loved it!!
One of the girls set her ears on my belly and it was just getting big enough, they stayed!! If this turns out to be a boy though, I'm sure he won't appreciate it haha!
This is why Aubree wasn't in the previous picture.
This is the little girl Helen made in line. You know Helen has NEVER met a stranger and this was no different. She took a picture of her and her daddy too, haha! Then she had this little girl be our photographer for a little while!
Another famliy pic, thanks to our new photographer!
Watching the show, the witch from Snow White was on stage. I like how all three of them look scared! Aubree really was, she kept wanting to leave.
All they wanted to see were the princesses so this is the most we saw of Mickey and Minnie. Maybe next trip we can focus more on those characters!
Playing while waiting in line.
On the ferryboat ride out. Amazingly, we didn't lose anything else during the day!!
Not the best picture, but it was so pretty lit up!
At the end of the trip, we asked the girls which they liked better, Sea World or Disney. Both said Sea World. I think it's because we mostly waited in line at Disney and at Sea World, they got to watch the shows and stuff. Plus, they are very into the sea creatures right now. Dolphin Tale and Free Willy are in constant demand at our house!
