Favorites

Emily and Caitlin had a great time hanging out together and discovering the magic of Disney! They really enjoyed seeing the Princesses and watching the shows - they were a joy to watch. Not so joyous was the night they took a bath together, got a hold of a razor and for some reason decided to shave each others bottoms! It took a while to piece that story together and to tend to the awful mess it created of their skin - where do they get their ideas? My brother's comment was "well, it's better than the time Chris and Nick were that age and Chris shaved Nick's tongue!" Yuck.


The girls watching the "Parade of Princesses"


So, we're in Epcot making our way to our dinner meeting spot David says "look who is playing King Arthur". There he is...my Dad picked out of a crowd to be in a show. My brother and I just looked at each other like "of course it is" - that kind of stuff always happens to him! The grand kids had a great time watching Grandpa on center stage and Emily is still quoting him with a hearty "yeah baby" (that was his big line).


Somehow or another I walked into the right place at the right time and asked if there were any Princesses around (they had just cancelled the show outside of the castle due to rain and I wanted Emily to at least lay eyes on one). The folks in the store looked at each other in a funny way and finally told Emily and I to follow them through this maze of curtains and when we reached the end we were in a huge decorated room and there stood Cinderella and Prince Charming! We were the only ones there and Emily was stunned! She could barely utter a word and finally just leaned over and hugged her, eyes closed. It was a great moment and one of her favorites too!



No day at Disney is complete without total exhaustion! She fell asleep while waiting with Emma for us to get off the "rockin roller coaster" in a room that was blasting Aerosmith tunes! This is not the only time my little Princess passed out :)
