Florida!

What a great trip to Florida for our family!  We meet Mickey, Minnie, Cinderella, Belle and Princess Aurora.  All on our list.  It was magical, wonderful, exhausting and a memory that we shall never forget.  
We spent a day at Discovery Cove where we swam with dolphins, fish of all kinds and sting rays six feet wide.  The kids were in water heaven.  Although, Ethan enjoyed the outdoor showers the most!  We need to work on his personal boundaries!  
One of the most memorable events was meeting Cinderella during our 15 hour day at Magic Kingdom (the kids were awesome!)  Apparently, Cinderella and Kedzie have the same Fairy Godmother because their dresses were blue!   Also, Kedzie was worried about the Prince and Cinderella informed us that he was at the castle protecting the mice from Lucifer the cat.  She was relieved to hear that.  It was magical and they both talked to each other for a few minutes.  
So, after meeting Cinderella, she of course had to get her own "official" Cinderella dress, "crown-d" and glass slippers, oh purse and gloves included!  Here she is riding her carriage through Disney World's Market Place.  What a princess!
Ethan loved everything as well.  He would point at the animals and rides and say "uh-uh."  He's so advanced for his age!  A highlight for him was this water area at Sea World.  He was soaked and playing with the big boys!  He also got to feed dolphins and enjoyed that adventure too.  What a kid.  Thanks to Grandma for a magical adventure and to the kids for being strong through long, hot days.  We had a fabulous time.

What an awesome trip! I am so happy for you. We are looking forward to taking the kids to Disney Land, mostly because we love it so much. I am glad to hear that your kids were good. Those long days can be killer.
