Disney Vacation Part III

Here is a pic of the whole crew in the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse at Magic Kingdom.



















Every morning when the cleaning crew came to drop off towels and make beds, they would leave the girls "special friends" on the window sill.

A pic of the castle at Magic Kingdom from the backside of the park.



















Maddie and Dad posing with Chip and Dale. Chip and Dale was Maddie's one true mission to get their autographs.

This is the roller coaster that Maddie went on TWICE. It was at Animal Kingdom - and the majority of it was backwards, in the dark, inside of the mountain! And there were Yetti's running around scaring us!

Dad was so impressed that he bought her a yetti when they got off of it the second time.

















Maddie and Kar showing the little birthday cakes at the buffet that we ate at one night at Animal Kingdom.















Karleigh was so proud of her little birthday cake.

Disney Vacation Part II

Here are some more pictures from our vacation. Madison was very excited to meet Belle, that is her FAVORITE princess!




















Ms. Karleigh posing with another princess. She was in her glory!

The week of April 23rd through the 30th, the Smith Family ventured to Orlando, Florida for a long needed vacation. Heather's parents also flew down for the week and treated Maddie and Karleigh to the Wonderful World of Disney.

I know that I have forwarded a lot of you these pictures already - so bear with me. I promise that my next installment of the log for the Disney trip will have new pictures in it. I must say with getting home, getting organized and back in the swing of things, the blog has fallen to the side.

We left Michigan at 7 am from Flint, and arrived in Orlando at 9:30 am! It was balmy when we got off of the plane, and we were all super excited to get this vacation started!

This was Maddie and Karleigh's first plane ride. They both did spectacular! Besides a few ear problems - they had a blast. We even had to check out the airplane potty a few times. Karleigh came out the first time and said - wow is that small!

We stayed at the Pop Century Resort, and had an adjoining room with my mom and dad. The girls thought that this was the greatest thing that they could run back and forth!




One day on our trip at Magic Kingdom, Madison and Karleigh got to spend one on one time with the Disney Princesses. I could not believe the time and the attention that they paid each little girl!














Sleeping Beauty is Karleigh's favorite princess. And Aurora was surprised to see that Karleigh had her picture on her shirt. Karleigh was in pure amazement that this was "her" princess!




















Here is Maddie and Karleigh at our resort. This is the area where they had a huge foosball table set up.
















Here is the Smith Family with Mickey Mouse.















Karleigh posing with Safari Minnie at Anaimal Kingdom. We were on a train, waiting for it to depart the station.

A picture of the castle at Magic Kingdom at night. This brought back a lot of memories for me. I felt like a little kid again. I tell you what - Disney goes all out on everything that they do!

Here is a pic of the Smith Family in front of the fountain at Epcot the first night in Orlando. The girls were a little bored with Epcot, except for the Nemo ride. The whole week - this is the only time that we spent at this park.

Here is a pic of me and Maddie with the Jungle Book characters. Mads had an autograph book that we tried to have all of the characters sign. She thought it was funny that the monkey had too big of hands to sign her book.

I will try to upload some more pictures and thoughts from the trip in the next day or so!
