Florida

In February our family, along with Mark's brother and his family, went to Florida for 10 days. Mark's cousin and his wife graciously let us stay in their beautiful condo at an amazing resort. The guys loved the fact that there were three golf courses in the resort! (Although they only golfed the one course.) The girls had a fabulous time! (As did all the parents!)

Brookelyn excited about her airplane ride.

Animal Kingdom

Our first day at the Disney Parks was spent at Animal Kingdom. Brookelyn was all about the characters. Mark and I had really wanted to do the safari again but our day was spent waiting in line. Our day was topped off eating the Rain Forest Cafe. The girls had a blast!

Magic Kingdom

Our day at Magic Kingdom was the one that I was most excited about. I knew Brookelyn was going to have a great time at all the parks, but Magic Kingdom was going to be the highlight. She is so obsessed with princesses I just couldn't wait to tell her that she was going to eat in Cinderella's castle!

A very excited Brookelyn on a very cold ferry ride.

Even Caybree was excited!

The Princesses

The only word to describe what it was like seeing Brookelyn meet the princesses, especially Cinderella, is AMAZING! The were all the real ones to her - she was so excited to talk to them and have them sign and to ask them questions. It was so great. I get teary eyed talking about it now! It was so much fun to see her so excited!

Character Greetings

Brookelyn loved meeting all the characters! It didn't matter if she knew the show that they were from or not - she wanted to meet them and have them sign her book. She was totally taken with all of them!

Hollywood Studios

Alright, so the pictures don't really show much of what we saw at Hollywood Studios but they are of us at Hollywood Studios. That counts, doesn't it? It was a great day! The girls had fun meeting characters from Handy Manny, The Little Einsteins and Cars. We watched a show with Mickey Mouse, The Little Einsteins, Darby and Pooh and Handy Manny. There were a couple of amazing stage shows - The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast - that had the girls absolutely captivated. Hollywood Studios was a much slower pace then Magic Kingdom, which was a nice change!
