Disney

This project has taken me entirely too long. We went to Disney at the end of April and loved every minute of our time there.  The highlights were: 

*Riding the new Pandora ride.  This ride and so many others had me thanking Heavenly Father for people talented enough to make something so beautiful and exhilarating.   

*Watching the Disney Parades.  Disney has a way with timing beautiful music to unbelievable floats and all your favorite characters.  It makes me feel like I've found a home right in middle of my favorite childhood movies.   

*Finding new treasures and experiences in each park among all our old favorites.  

*Going to Epcot for the first time.

Going on all of my favorite big kids rides with Audrey and seeing her excitement in riding them for the first time.  

*Almost beating Paul in mini golf for the first time.  

*Audrey finding a love for all things Star Wars after riding the new rides at Hollywood Studios.

*Meeting Mickey.  He was so sweet to spend some extra time with Audrey.  

*Having dinner with the One Hundred Acre Woods Characters....worth every penny.

*The night show on the castle.  This is my favorite part of Disney, it's when the magic comes to life.  

*Seeing my family in Florida.  Paul and I both commented how nice it was to have a Sunday dinner with family. It's been a long year without any family around.  Audrey couldn't have been happier spending time with Charlotte.  I have missed my big sister.  I'm so glad it worked out that we got to meet up.  

*Seeing how sad Audrey was to leave.  The second from the last photo shows her with tears in her eyes.  I asked her to smile her last smile at Disney and she broke down.  She put on a brave face and smiled her best fake smile and said through her tears, "Mom this is as best as I can do.".  I can't say I blame her.  It's hard to leave such a magical place.  I think we were all feeling a little bummed on our last day there.  

I'll let the pictures say the rest.
