Disney World...

For our last day in Florida Matt and I surprised the girls and took them to Disney World. It was totally a last minute decision and one we were both so glad we made! Shaelyn knew that Disney world was in Florida and a few of our close friends have gone in the past couple of months and it had definitely gotten her attention. During our time in Florida the girls kept talking about Disney world and the princesses etc. In fact, one night Monreau woke up crying in the middle of the night because she couldn't find her lamb that she sleeps with. I found it and tucked her back in bed. With her eyes still closed she said in her sleep "mommy, the seven dwarfs are going to be at Disney world." :) I couldn't help but laugh! So, with them dreaming about it (literally), we decided we would surprise them and go. I love the ages that they are at right now. They are SO excitable and so much fun! 

We woke them up at 6 and told them our plan. Packed them in the car and 2 hours later we were at the Magic Kingdom. They were so excited! Our day was filled with what ever they wanted to do. Which mainly included meeting the princesses and going on any "non scary" ride! We never waited in a line for more than 5 minutes and for the most part we did everything we wanted to do! Around 3pm the rain came and we got wet, really wet. But, the girls didn't mind and we just changed their socks a few times and we were good to go! The only bummer was that the a few of the shows we wanted to watch were cancelled and the parade was a shortened version. Some day we would love to take them back and do a full Disney experience when they will be old enough to really remember it, but this was so much fun because we got to see it through their 2 and 5 year old eyes ... which are full of imagination, excitement, belief, joy, and fun!

Thank you to my mom and dad who took McLleyton for the whole day, so we could have this special time with the girls. This day will always be a fun memory to me! 

(oh, and if you're wondering what happen to Monreau's forehead, she fell playing outside right at bedtime the night before- I know it looks bad, but it has been healing pretty quickly!)

Then the rain started...but it was still fun! 

We were waiting in the rain for the parade to start and Monreau some how managed to fall asleep :). She slept for 15 minutes and when I woke her up to tell her the parade was starting, she immediately got all excited and didn't seem to know that she had fallen asleep in the rain :).

We couldn't resist :)

Nothing like ice cream on a rainy day! 
Shaelyn said "it was even more fun because it rained" she loved it!

We ended our day with meeting Micky and Minnie!
