the happiest place on earth

We've been talking about it for awhile now. Since summer break is fast approaching we decided it was time. To beat the heat and the crowds we surprised the girls with a trip to Disney World. They're very first time. They were excited about the trip and even more excited that they got to skip naps that day. We headed to Orlando to spend the night so we could get up bright and early Sunday morning and head to the park. Evidently hotels make Morgan excited as well.

We took advantage of the heated pool and the hot tub and let the girls swim for a little bit. I took advantage of the bar coupon. We were happy to see that we were in walking distance of Old Town. There were shops, places to eat and amusement rides. We took a quick ride on the Ferris Wheel.

We got up bright and early the next morning and had breakfast at the hotel. We packed up our lunch and we were off. The 10 minute ride to Disney was a piece of cake. The fun started on the shuttle from the parking lot to the ferry.

The Magic Kingdom. Where dreams come true. The girls were beside themselves when they saw Cinderella's castle. They couldn't wait to meet the princesses.

Maybe a shed a tear of happiness when I saw the smile on their faces. I feel very lucky to be able to do these kind of things as a family. I definitely don't take it for granted.

They both had birthday pins that they wore on and off all day. Morgan didn't quite understand why all these strangers knew her name. The puzzled look on her face was priceless every time. Lots more pictures to come.
