Rain Rain Go Away, Mom Said it Would Snow Today!

Watching...

Waiting...

SNOW!!!

This was the best "playing in" snow we've had this year; Great packing for snowballs and snowmen, plenty for a tobaggon ride, thick flakes to catch on your tongue, deep enough to hide plastic Easter eggs (well it is almost Easter), and we were plenty warm in our "snow clothes". What a great day!

Back to Magic Kingdom for the Last Bit of Magic!

Kayli was soooo excited about going back to Magic Kingdom to meet Tinkerbell and her friends. She insisted on wearing her Fairy Costume to bed the night before.Then, of course, she wore it to Magic Kingdom! This was the longest line we've had to wait in all week, but the most patient I have seen Kayli in line. I asked her several times if she wanted to come back later, as the line was an anticipated 1 1/2 hours. She insisted that we stay put! All the other lines we've waited in for rides have only been about 10-15 minutes. The wait was worth it, as the fairies really made this a "magical day" for Kayli!

Now, my little fairy sleeps. When she awakes, we'll head to the pool. Yes, it is plenty hot out for evening swimming. I am looking forward to some nachos and an ice cold frozen margarita by the poolside! Life is Good!!!

Just Joining in the Fun!

Kayli was more than happy to show off her dance steps, as the "Mickey Mouse Crew Member" gathered the kids out on the restaurant "dance floor" to sing and dance to the Mickey Mouse clubhouse song, but then he suggested the Hotdog game, which entails yelling at the top of your lungs. She does NOT like loud yelling. So you can see her at the end of the video, showing her disapproval by slumping over and lumbering off the dance floor. She just cracks me up. Otherwise, she loved the music and dancing and characters everywhere. She was THRILLED with the Little Einstein characters. She just loves them!

Then, later in the day we went to the Mickey Mouse Playhouse Show, which encouraged "active participation". Kayli thought this show was the GREATEST! It was like watching her Mickey Mouse DVD LIVE! Of course we were at Hollywood Studios.

For some extra special fun this week, Tinkerbell has been "secretly" leaving little presents for Kayli while we're gone at the park all day. The following is a video clip of her opening one of these gifts. Of course, she's amazed and thrilled with the whole idea!

It Just Keeps Getting Better!!!

We're Here!

Lots of shuttling, standing, weaving through lines, waiting, more shuttling and weaving, and we're finally here! The weather is GREAT! The hotel is fun! We've already been to the pool twice, once before the luggage arrived; Kayli just ran through the fountains in her clothes, and again later when the luggage arrived; Kayli has been asking about her swimsuit since we walked out the door this morning! Oh, and we managed to duck into the video arcade in between visits to the pool, to use our complimentary tokens. Just our luck, after our tokens ran out, we walked over to a game that someone had just abandoned, and prize tickets were just rolling out! We got enough tickets to buy a candy bracelet and two tootsie rolls, woohoo! Then, we ate cheeseburgers outside by the pool. The fun has just begun!
