Day 2.

What a great day! We went to Hoolywood Studios where we started the day at opening. Tim went with the mad rush to get fastpasses while the girls and I went to see Donald and Daisy together.




Then Emma decided that she wanted to give Tower of Terror a try. She did great! She looked terrified as we were dropping up and down, but she said it was kind of fun kind of not. Annie screamed louder than anyone on there!

We went to see The Little Mermaid and Playhouse Disney. Sarah Beth liked them both. I think her favorite part was the bubbles though she likes dancing around too.

We got fastpasses for Star Tours, rode Toy Story Mania, and had lunch. Then we saw The Muppets and rode Star Tours. Sarah Beth fell asleep during The Muppets but woke up in time to leave the park.

As we waited for the bus Sarah Beth sat in her stroller. After a while she started pulling Emma down to sit in the stroller with her. Then she would count like she dis last night in he pool. When she finished she would push Emma up and out of the stroller. Then she would pull her right back down. It was so cute and the kind of thing that other people in line would watch and talk about.

After a nap we went to Typhoon Lagoon. I stayed wig Sarah Beth in the little kid part while Tim took Annie and Emma to some of the big slides. They had lots of fun riding the inner tubes. Sarah Beth really enjoyed walking around playing in the sprinklers and fountains. She especially liked when her Daddy and sisters came back to play with her. We also had a good time in the wave pool.

We drove over to Downtown Disney to eat at Earl of Sandwich. It was so good. Then we went to Goofy's Candy Company. Emma made a giant pixie stick. Annie built her own caramel apple. It is coated in caramel, Reece's cups, and a chocolate drizzle. The thing is huge.

We came back to Port Orleans Frenh Quarter and packed up because tomorrow we move to The Villas of Animal Kingdom. We are so excited to see Doug, Mandy, and Madeline!

WDW Day 1

Today we went to Epcot. First we actually slept in, and it felt great! We didn't arrive until 12:00. It was a very different experience, but we were able to do so many things.

We got fastpasses for Soarin'. Then we went to Mexico and rode the boat ride there. It was Sarah Beth's first, and she did great. Then we strolled through some other countries on our way to Japan to get lunch. We saw Snow White and stopped for an autograph.





After lunch we went to Italy where we had gelato.


Then we watched Sergio the juggler. Sarah Beth was pretty intrigued with him.






He wanted Sarah Beth to shoot a ball in a net but she made a sad face, so Emma did it for her. She made it!

We headed to Germany to do a Kim Possible mission. Tim took Sarah Beth to get fast passes for Test Track. She fell asleep so they found a cool place to nap. At the end of the mission in Germany a little blonde girl chased the villain around in circles like on a cuckoo clock. Emma said, "Look! I caught the bad guy!!"

We went to China and watched the film. It was very good.


We also saw some models of the Terra Cotta Warriors. They were amazing. I can't imagine seeing the real things. We ended our time in China with another mission.


The girls also got umbrellas with their names written on them in Chinese. We can't wait to go back with our little one from China.

Sarah Beth drank two juice boxes of apple juice today. She drank eagh one in about 30 seconds.


It was time for Soarin' so we did that with baby swap. Tim took Sarah Beth to ride Nemo while the girls and I were on Soarin so we met them there and rode it again with them. She was so good. After the ride we visited the fish tanks. That was definitely her favorite part of the day. She was very careful walking up to the tank the first time. Then she touched it, realized it was solid, and got really excited. She must have said Oooo. Oooo. Oooo. twenty times. It was sooo cute.





We went to eat at the Electric Umbrella where we could watch the fountain. Tim and the girls went to ride Test Track and then we left.

When we got back to the hotel we went swimming for about 45 minutes. The girls went down the dragon slide. Tim even took Sarah Beth. She smiled the whole way down. She also started leaning back and dipping the back of her head in he water. She would say, "eh, uh, oh!". It was supposed to be one, two, three. Then she would lean waaaay back. Over and over again. So cute. It was such a good first day!

Vacation

We leave in just a few hours. There won't be much sleep for me tonight. But the girls are so excited. I keep thinking that Annie especially is going to grow tired of Disney World. She hasn't. They have done more to prepare for thos trip than ever. One day they made a map of the Magic Kingdom with chalk. They covered all of the details.


All that's left is to get there, have fun, and stay well. That may prove the greatest challenge as Sarah Beth has had yet another accident. Just as her face was healing, she has injured her hand. It got shut in the ban door tonight. We will see what it looks like soon enough. We will all be up shortly to be on our way.

A new way to eat yogurt

Sarah Beth wanted to do some self feeding today. She has been trying it some lately and does ok. However today the spoon just didn't get the job done.














It must have been good. She was licking her fingers!

Mary Beth

Sweet, sweet girl

When Sarah Beth sits down, she will pat the spot beside her as an invitation to sit too. It is Impossible to resist.

"Ball"

Sarah Beth can say ball now. It is really cute because she is pretty excited when she says it because she loves to play ball.






She also says please, thank you, mama, daheee (daddy), and she definitely knows how to call Annie and Emma, even though it doesn't sound too much like their names. I also think she says this (dis). She has oooooooh and whoa down pat; she even uses them at the right time.






She jabbers, jabbers, jabbers all the time. It is so cute, but I love to hear her say ball.

Cozy ridealong

Emma is living the good life at Nana and Papa's. She hasn't been feeling too well so Papa hooked the trailer up to the lawn mower and she made a little bed. Then he pulled her and the other two girls around.
