Disney, Day 3

Day three was filled with Animal kingdom fun and then back to Magic Kingdom for more fun! The weather was supposed to turn yucky, but never really did. It was a tad cooler this day, but it wasn't bad, and only rained for a second!

Playing at the condo. She slept well during the nights and I think we had to wake her most mornings to get our early start!

One of her favorites.... the shuttle!

Silliness in front of the Tree of Life.... she was pretty much over getting her picture made at this point! O-well!

She enjoyed the safari and all the animals!

Waiting in line while the guys did that crazy roller coaster at Animal Kingdom!

Lyds loved her "outside" ride!

And the little kiddy park there.

She could have played in the these rocks digging for dinosaur bones the whole day!

We caught Pocahontas running out one day, and her security guard behind her was trying to stop us, but she was sweet and gave L a hug! 

We made it back to Magic Kingdom to see Elsa freeze the castle. It was pretty cool!
(And see that fancy balloon...... probably the worst money spent at Disney. I mean what are you going to do with a balloon as a souvenir?! And it's bulky and gets in the way and kept hitting us in the head. I knew all of this when she asked for one- because there are 100 people selling them when you walk in the gates at night time- BUT this was the ONE of the TWO things she asked for the whole trip! She is a child who can entertain herself easily, doesn't want much and is just like her daddy and can justify why she doesn't need something. So this was a waist of $12, but she was given spending money and didn't spend any of it! 

The second thing she wanted was...... cotton candy! Of course she did, she's a good girl, but she's still 4 and loves sweets!

This is life at Disney... being pushed around, enjoying dinner, which is your favorite PB&J!

In awe of the Ice Castle (and a little tired too!)

See the pretty castle! (And these pretty people!!)

Sassy

Let it go!!

Fun times! She was so pooped after this long third day. We had to cut out early (around 9:30!) to get little girl some rest for the next day!

Disney, Day 2

We were up at em early everyday, too much fun to be had to sit around!
Our second day started with the adventures at Epcot and ended with the beautiful Hollywood Studios all decorated for Christmas. There were so many fun things! (Trying to jog my memory with pictures since it's been a few months now!)

Twinsies. I love these two and their sweet brotherly love.

It was also game day, so we had to wear our red! Lydia loved the big ball, she kept calling it the "Ep-a-cot" ball.

Lydia was so excited that Aunt Shaunna had a stroller like her.... we had to protect the little babies she is growing from all the Disney walking. And I love that Lydia never asked why, she just went with the flow!

Waiting on the real grownups to get out of mission space. 

Pretending to be Nemo. We played outside and hit up the memo gift shop, she still freaked out and wouldn't ride the memo ride. Even though I know she'd love it!

We played in the big house forever, I think it was a part of the tomorrow land stuff.

Our "green" house by the beach we created on spaceship earth. We almost talked Lydia into riding on this one, but I'm glad she didn't because it does stay dark for a long time and some of the characters on the sides kind of look scary too.

Thankfully Bo kept her entertained!

And sweet John, I was so glad the Murray's came to visit us while we were there!

Uncle Robert was her prince the whole trip. She loves him!

Alan and I tried to convince her it was ok to talk to the characters, but she wasn't having any part of it. 

But she loved climbing on this big thing!

Epcot, waiting on our princess lunch.

We ate a late lunch at Akershus with the princesses. It was so much fun and probably one of my favorite moments of the trip! She was in awe of everything and had a blast! Belle was there to greet us when we came in and all the princesses came around to our table to greet us. There's even a little parade at the end where the girls get to walk around the restaurant. We all had a blast, and liked it more than the Cinderella's castle dinner!

She was starstruck for sure here!

And she LOVES Aurora the most still. It was so much fun seeing her love on all the princesses.

She was so proud of herself that she made Aurora laugh so hard! She told her, "You are prettier today than you were yesterday." I think she was dead serious, so she loved that Aurora got a kick out of that. And Aurora was so kind, she hugged her up and loved on her and told her to please tell her other princess friends that story! 

SO proud she made Aurora laugh!

She is just in awe, this was her excited face the whole time!

Never take your eyes off a princess!

ALL smiles!

Ready for her parade.

Birthday celebration again!

SuSu did such a good job planning everything and preparing for a while for us! 

Lydia was so excited to have a friend to hangout with.

He was even nice enough to dance with her..... I'm sure he didn't want to!
We are waiting on Disney Jr. Live to start here. It was a cute little show with all the characters she likes in it. But everyone sits on the floor and there's no incline, so I kept having to ask kids to sit down in front of us so she could see. 

Pressing her pennies.

Beautiful lights! It was amazing! They even had a pretty Nativity Scene.

 I don't think I have any pictures of the Frozen singalong show. But it was one of Lydia's favorites! The characters came out and they entertained us in-between songs. She raved about this for a while. We stumbled upon it, so we ran in as it was starting, but I'm so glad we did. She adored it!

So excited to be out so late, I'm sure.

I heard they are taking the hat down, I think it's an icon.... glad we snuck this picture in!

Just couldn't get enough of the lights!

Used this one for our Christmas card. Such a fun day at Disney!!
