A favorite Disney memory...was going into Disney early.  Usually

we don't get there too early because we stay late to catch

parade and fireworks.  But Dev and I snuck out with Cambria

for a princess morning.

We happened upon sleeping beauty.

Now my girl has never really been "into"

princesses.  She hasn't even really enjoyed

Disneyland as many other kiddos do...

However...slowly Disney began to work

its magic....

It was also working its magic on someone else!

We got to ride in the Disney fire truck.

Window shopping

Oh yes, we had to try them on!

Next, I left the park and got to see my buddy Marci!

I am still not over her leaving Maui several years

ago and I so value our friendship.  Now we can talk!

It was fun to see her home and a bit of her life.

I met up with our family, we had dinner and went

back into the park.

We went on Splash Mountain about 3 times or so....

 

Besides taking Dev to Disney when she was 3 when

 I had not been for so long and it felt so magical...this was

 our best Disney trip, it seemed like the kids enjoyed it the best. 

It wasn't as crowded and Bobo could ride the big rides! 

Had to stop in the Disney Starbucks...it was so crowded!!

We got their silhouettes done.  The man was amazing, he just

looked at their profile and using scissors (no tracing) he

cut it out of the black paper.

Then we got the firework show.  It was amazing.

Complete with music, amazing graphics, and

the fireworks.  Everyone was in awe and taken up.

It reminded me of what heaven will be like.  In the

way that we will all be caught up...we all long for

beauty and for our souls to be moved.

There is the castle in the distance.

Baby girl's first Mickey ears.  She was also

battling a cold, she had a barky cough

which was rough.  She hung in there.  She

just wore cozy pajamas and I wore her.

I was so glad we had a place to stay within walking

distance to the park.  It made a difference especially

with Dev not feeling 100%, we could walk back and

the boys could be crazy and stay...which they did

one night...bonding as they rode the scary rides!
