Magic Kingdom

It's Magical, that's why it's called Magic Kingdom! I love to take our children to Disney. I absolutely love to relive my childhood through them and to see the amazement in their eyes when they are there. It makes me feel like I'm doing something right as a mom when I share the magic of Disney with them. We always take a day out of our Florida trip with Mattie and Pappy and go over to Orlando to visit a park. The kids voted for Magic Kingdom this year, and of course I agreed with them. On Sunday we drove my dad to the airport to catch a flight home for a few days and visited downtown Disney before heading to MK on Monday. We ate at Rain forest Cafe and walked around a little while. Here are a few pics of us in front of the giant dragon made out of Legos in the pond.


We stayed in Orlando on Sunday night so we were able to get to the park super early. I don't think I've ever gotten there before the park opened. Aubree was super excited and brought her Minnie Doll along for the ride on the monorail.





Another attempt at a family picture

Mattie and Anderson enjoying the "Opening of the Park" show. We got to see all of the characters before the park opened. The kids loved it!
Grayson and Daddy watching the show
Mickey, Minnie and the Gang

One of the kids favorite rides: The People Mover




We hadn't lost Minnie yet!
Someone's tired
I made her Minnie outfit and her Minnie hairbow! She was super cute. Her red and white puddle jumper sandals were a perfect match too
We were there early and stayed late for the fireworks. A rare pic of us with no babies in our arms.
Aubree loved all the pretty fireworks but was also a little scared
Mommy, Daddy and two babies... Where's Grayson???

He was Sleeping... Who cares about the fireworks??

We had such a great day. Anderson even rode Space Mountain with me sitting behind him holding his head the whole time. (That was no fun) He didnt' like it at all. The park was not very crowded, so that helped out everyone's mood (even the big kids.) The day seemed to fly by because the kids had so much fun and enjoyed every minute of it. Not one tantrum was had all day. I didn't want our day of Magic to end, but there's always next year.
