Now to my second posting for our last day at the Magic Kingdom...
We decided since it was our last full day at the park and we wanted to both see as many things as possible, as well as give the girls a relaxing last evening swimming at the hotel pool (which often was as exciting to them as the actual parks were), we would just "push through" and not go back to the hotel for a rest this day. It actually worked like a charm!
I have no way to explain the picture above. I asked the three girls to smile for a picture, and somehow Anna interpretted that as "give me your best gangsta pose". She wasn't upset or anything about having her picture taken...that was just the stance she picked for the photo. Maybe we let her listen to a little too much Jay Z in the back seat as a baby??
Anna and I in front of the castle waiting for the afternoon parade to start. We had let the girls do a little shopping before the parade, and Grammie and Bucko had given them some money to shop with. Anna is proudly sporting the Sleeping Beauty charm necklace that she picked out...
Next we ventured to Mickey's PhilharMagic, which I thought would be marginally cool, but ended up being one of the biggest hits of the trip (at least for Anna)! She still talks about actually being sprayed with water, and about how Donald flew through the audience into the back of the theater at the end. It was a hit!
Kate and Daddy joined us for the afternoon--just in time for the rain! But, as with most of the rest of the trip, she was a trooper! A little time under the pancho and under shelter, and the rain passed and she was ready for the rest of the day's adventure!
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was hands-down the girls' favorite ride (we rode it every day--thank goodness for FastPass!), so we knew we had to take Kate on it before we left. She loved it too! We're a bit soggy in the pic above from our rain encounter, but happy nonetheless!
Kate's absolute favorite ride that we went on was Its a Small World. I kind of have to agree with her on that one. I'm not sure if she loved the little people from all of the different countries, or just getting to ride it with Grammie, more...
And, we just couldn't leave Disney World without getting a Mickey Mouse ice cream! As you can see, by this point we had some WORN OUT (but still smiling!) kids on our hands. I think that's the sign of a successful adventure...
One last shot before we left the Magic Kingdom for the last time--Grammie and Bucko with their girls. THANK YOU THANK YOU to Grammie and Bucko for such a phenomenal trip! An amazing adventure, and a lifetime of memories....
