Last Day - More Magic Kingdom

A wet morning, but the trolley's still clangin' along.



The whole group.
Emmy sitting totally still for her silhouette to be done.


Aidan on my lap in a vice-grip in order to get his silhouette done.



After lunch, Aidan crawled up in a window for a rest.




Enjoying the start of his Mickey Mouse ice cream sandwich.




Not enjoying the end of his ice cream sandwich.




Whenever we saw street shows, Emmy waiting patiently to be picked from the crowd to participate. She always quietly raised her hand. But on the last day, she knew she'd better up her game, and stood up with her hand raised to be picked. I watched, hoping somebody would finally pick my baby to be in the show!





Thank you Jack Sparrow-actor man for picking Emmy. She got to be on stage and be an honorary pirate.

This was the most awesome vacation. It was worth every penny. I'm so glad we went while the kids were little. Some people suggest saving the Disney trip for older kids so they'll get more out of it, but I wouldn't trade the look on Emmy's face when she met Belle for anything. That was a five year old moment and it wouldn't have been as magical if we had waited. Dave and I had a great time too. Sure, most of it is about the kids, but we really enjoyed ourselves. After driving home for 15 hours non-stop, I asked Dave the following: If your cell rang right now and someone offered you an all-expenses-paid week in Disney right now, would you turn the car around and go back? His answer: Absolutely!
