Disney World Day 3: Magic Kingdom

Sundays on vacation are always tricky. We found a Sacrament meeting to attend, even though we didn't bring any Sunday clothes. The girls went in little skorts and flip flops, with Brad and I in regular clothes, as well. I simply wasn't going to pack up big poofy church clothes! The girls were all really tired, so the meeting was a little hairy. It's always a circus, but even more so yesterday.

After church, the kids all headed out to some springs while I stayed home with Mimi so she could nap at the appropriate time. She was much more happy after that!   The rest of the day was lazy, and the kids got to bed early so we could go go go today!  These pictures were snatched from Grandma and Aunt Adria.

 

 

Today we headed to the Magic Kingdom, where I took a bunch of pictures, and then accidentally deleted them from my CF card.  Permanently.  Ugh.  I've only got the first hour or so of the day.  I was able to get some close duplicates from Grandma and Adria, but the frustration remains!  The girls chose to ride the ferry to the park.

The girls were very excited to see the Cinderella Castle.  Mac was especially vocal. 

 

Try to just picture all this in your heads...we took off immediately to go on Pirates of the Caribbean, and I got a great picture of Mac and Leiden under the black Pirates flag. After the ride, we all put on our Mickey ears, and got a picture of our family by a different Pirates flag.  Mac particularly was excited to wear the ears and she looked super cute.

Then we headed off to the Jungle Cruise, where Leiden was chosen to be the skipper!  She was so cute, being very serious about guiding the boat where it needed to go. 

We wandered through the Swiss Family Robinson tree house, and at one point, Rob and Adria were right above us and took this pic.  Blurry, but it's most of us. 

We found Jasmine and Aladdin shortly thereafter, and to my surprise, Mimi went right to Jasmine, and though her thumb was in her mouth, she was fine to be hugged by her.  They thought she was pretty cute.  The picture with Jasmine, Aladdin, and all three girls was deleted, but I got one from Grandma. 

And that's all I've got!  I've never before lost pictures, so this was a lesson learned.  We didn't stay at the park all day--only until about 2:00, when the girls were done and wanted to go back to the house to swim.  Leiden was complaining today of a hurting tummy, and she was definitely not herself.  I had hoped we would be over this, but something is bothering her for sure.  Hopefully it's a blip and we'll see improvement soon.  We returned to the park later in the evening, so as to be able to see the fireworks at the castle, and Tinkerbell flying from the castle!  The older two loved it, and Mimi was freaked out by the fireworks.  I don't know if it was the booms, or the flashing in the darkness, but it took her a good 10 minutes to calm down enough to stop crying and watch--but still clutching my neck!
