Disney, Day Four

Day Four was a big day! We headed out to the Magic Kingdom and hopped on some of Gabby's favorite rides early. Then it was on to see Ariel in her Grotto. Gabby gave her a seashell she had painted for her. We had lunch at the Crystal Palace with Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore. After a couple more rides we went back to our room and rested for a while. We went back to the Magic Kingdom to stay for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Before that, Gabby was surprised with a visit to the Bibbidi Bobbodi Boutique. She chose to be made over into Tinkerbell. She had two Fairy Godmothers in Training that did her hair, nails and makeup and sprinkled her with pixie dust and the transformation was complete! She was more beautiful than normal! We spent the rest of the night enjoying the Halloween party. Gabby fell asleep on the way back to the room and this is how she ended her day.

Help the ASPCA fight puppy mills!

The ASPCA is trying to gather information to help fight puppy mills. They have a short survey on their website to help determine where people get their dogs. It only takes a couple of minutes to fill out.

Disney, Day Three

Day Three we were up bright and early again. We went to the Magic Kingdom for Little Ones Extra Magic Hours. Gabby was dying to ride It's A Small World, Dumbo and Peter Pan so we did those things. We saw the Fairy Godmother and Daisy Duck on our way out of the MK. Then we headed over to our scheduled park for the day, Epcot. We had big fun riding the new Nemo ride. We then went to the princess lunch in Norway. We saw Belle, Ariel, Mulan, Jasmine and Aurora and had a great meal. After lunch we rode a few more rides and then Donna and Gabby went to the hotel to rest. Robert stayed behind to ride Mission:Space. We slept for a couple of hours and ate some supper before heading back to Epcot. We rode Test Track a couple of times and Gabby loved it. It was one of her favorites. We then found a spot for the fireworks and enjoyed them before heading back to the hotel and bed.

Disney, Day Two

We were up good and early on Day Two (or our first full day). We had 8 AM reservations for the Donald breakfast at Animal Kingdom so we were there before the gates even opened. That's a first for us! We saw Donald, Mickey, Pluto and Goofy. After breakfast we were off to enjoy Animal Kingdom. We saw the great Nemo, Lion King and Pocohontas show. Gabby says her favorite ride was Kali River Rapids. We rode it last and got soaking wet! Gabby most of all (see picture). Thankfully I brought us all a change of clothes in the car. We changed our clothes and headed out to the Grand Floridian for the Cinderella meal. We saw Cinderella, Prince Charming, the stepmother and stepsisters. The step family was a fun addition to this meal - last time we went we saw the Fairy Godmother and the mice, Suzy and Perla. Gabby thought the step sisters needed some hugs to make them nicer. We rode the monorail around the resorts just for fun and then went back to the hotel to rest up for Day 3.

Carrots Win, Hands Down!

Election Day in our house found a clear winner so far on the food front - carrots! So far sweet potatoes have been met with like, sweet peas with tolerance but carrots are a love. He ate a whole container yesterday at supper. For reference, Gabby never ate a whole container of any baby food in one sitting. Looks like Mommy will have to get a job to pay for Sam's food!

Disney, Day One

We arrived at Disney World on Oct 15. We checked in to the All-Star Music resort and found Mickey hanging out in our bed! Gabby and Daddy went swimming for a little while. We then went to Port Orleans (the section formerly known as Dixie Landings) to eat supper and show Gabby where Mommy and Daddy became engaged. Daddy reenacted the scene with Gabby and we found someone to take a picture of us all. We tried to settle down and go to bed early so we could get up and hit the World with a vengence the next day. More to come!

Halloween and Six Months

Here are the kids from Halloween. Gabby wore her Alice in Wonderland dress to school (b/c it is easy to take off) and her Tinkerbell outfit from Disney for Trick-or-Treating. The Tinkerbell story is a whole other thing from our Disney trip that I will have to post at some point. Sam, of course, was a baby bumblebee. So cute!

Sam is six months old today. He's trying hard to sit up on his own and gets longer every time. He also got his first taste of sweet potatoes today. He's happy to be heading into the wonderful world of food! He is a hungry boy!

Will get moving on our vacation to Disney World, Camilla, Callaway Gardens and Auburn. Hope to get some pics up soon.
