Best Vacation EVER!!






Soooo...  we just got back from 5 beautiful days at Disney World!!  It was such a wonderful vacation, and I'm already planning when we can go back!!  Emma (3 and 1/2) and Thomas (2 and 1/2) were the perfect ages to take for their first time!!  Of course, Emma wouldn't have anything to do with the characters!  Not even Mickey!  Her favorite activity for the week was meeting the princesses (Cinderella, Belle, Princess Tiana, and Aurora)!!  She even had to dress up like Cinderella to visit her castle! Since I was 23 weeks preggo, I sat out with the kids on the big rides... Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Tower of Terror, and Rock 'n Roller Coaster, but we found a spot in the shade and enjoyed icecream while the other adults rode!  Emma's favorite rides were the Tea Cups, Dumbo, and the Speedway (race cars).  She also always loves a good carousel ride! We got to see Beauty and the Beast (Emma's favorite show), Little Mermaid, Disney Junior Live, Lion King and Finding Nemo.  Emma and Thomas LOVED the shows and parades!!  Such a magical vacation and I loved getting to see it through Emma's eyes!!  I caught myself watching her more than what was going on to see her reaction to it! PRICELESS!!!

Ready for "Bisty World"!!!

We have officially began our countdown for our trip to DISNEY WORLD (or "Bisty World" as Emma calls it)!!!!  I have been making reservations for our character dinners and mapping our "attack" so that we can do the most in the shortest amount of time...considering Emma is 3 and her cousin, Thomas is 2 1/2!!  We leave for our probably 14 hour drive in 6 days and 5hrs!! We will be making this trip with 5 adults (me of which is prego!) and 2 toddlers...all in the same vehicle!!  This should be fun!!  I really can't wait to see Emma and Thomas's faces light up when they see everything! I just hope they're not scared to death to meet the characters... we have a MAJOR meltdown at Chuck-E-Cheese, if the mouse is there!
