Disney World Vacation

Nothing like your first trip to Disney World to make you feel like a princess or in my case, queen (I'm getting older). I, an adult, can still sit and watch any Disney movie and enjoy myself thoroughly. I cherish the idea of watching these movies with my kids because it always brings me back to a simpler blissful state, where worries, sadness, and anger are only felt through Ariel's dream to become human and marry her prince, Alice's hope to one day not be so bored, or Cinderella's wish to leave her cruel step family behind. I find myself analyzing the crap out of everything and sometimes wish I could be eight again because I'm pretty sure my mind was racing with ideas for the next game to play, how to set up my barbies, and how I could possibly become a veterinarian, teacher, and dancer all at the same time. Why is it children want to be older and adults want to be younger? Which argument is better?





I have a huge secret love for photography. I know nothing of it, but someday I will dive in. I admire those who live with intense passion for anything. Passion and freedom have intertwining stems. I rarely scratch my artistic surface. Hopefully someday I allow myself to take the time to explore the creativity I tend to neglect because of the daily chores that call my name.



Here we are on our first night together (Friday). By Monday, we flew standby on an earlier flight home...who wouldn't miss our little chipmunk? She seemed older after 3 days (7 for daddy). Next time we will plan our trip out better. With children, two or three days in Disney World would be really fun. Watching their little eyes light up at the sight of Mickey would make it worth the crowd and waiting time. As adults, we were like a pair of toddlers who needed to fall asleep in a stroller...walking that much was tough. We spent a bundle of our time watching the cute kids all dressed up getting ready to have breakfast with Pooh or dinner with Snow White. Children are truly the darnedest things - they just lay their expressions right in front of you without inhibition. I love that. I heard plenty of squeals, laughter, and exhausted cries. And that was just Kelven:)



I'm pretty sure this castle was the most beautiful building I've ever seen. Thank you, Walt.



Well, my honey and I enjoyed being alone together even if we didn't really know what to do with ourselves. Grandpa and Grandma were amazing to come over to our hot Seattle house and take care of our baby girl. We had no worries because she loves (understatement) being with them. We cannot thank you enough for watching her. In the next couple years you will have several grandchildren to watch during our trips!
