Recovering!

Well, our whirlwind trip to Disney to visit tia is over. We were all whooped. So much so, that Maddie slept almost 12 hours last night! We had to wake her up for school which happens...NEVER.

We had a BLAST on our "big girls trip."

We headed out Wednesday for Orlando.

Maddie on a mission!

A police officer stopped us and gave her a police badge sticker.

Grandma bought Maddie an Elsa hat which was hysterical.

So excited to go visit tia!

A short 2 hours later, we were in sunny and HOT Florida.

And that was the end of Mercedes's personal space for the next 5 days.

In our hotel room, Madeline found a brand new Belle dress! She has worn her old Belle dress OUT, plus it's a size 2T. Ha.

We changed and headed to the Polynesian for one of our favorite meals. 

 

We ate and rode the monorail to some of the resorts where we did some pin trading.

We took the monorail back and got in bed early to prepare for Magic Kingdom!

Waiting for the park to open. These 2 were headed straight to the Anna and Elsa Meet and Greet while mom and I headed to Space Mountain.

 We hadn't gotten to see A and E on our last trip so it was a must this time.

Mom and I rode Space Mountain twice - there was no one in line!

Tia also went ahead and took Maddie on the tea cups, because mama don't play that game.

And, of course, they stopped and got pixie-dusted.

Side note: We got glittered on Wednesday. Six days and six showers later, we are still pixie dusted. 

The lines were pretty short so we were able to fit in a lot of rides!

The Haunted Mansion!

Dumbo!

And when it got H-O-T, because "Fall" in Orlando was 88 degrees with a heat index of 92, and we had sweat EVERYWHERE, we rode the People Mover a few times to cool off.

That night, we met up with my aunt and uncle for a quick visit. They were there celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary at the Food and Wine festival.

And I wrapped up the night with a sweet picture of my Sydney who I was missing!
