We enjoyed a great trip to Disney World this past weekend with Grandmother and Granddaddy. Mimi and Pops flew in to take care of Andrew, so he had some special attention too. The girls had no idea of what to expect, but they were thrilled when we got there. Character meet and greets were the favorite and rides weren't as popular. Mickey Mouse ice cream was a highlight and they loved the parades. Being up past their bedtime for the night parade absolutely thrilled them. We spent the first two days at the Magic Kingdom and the last day at Hollywood Studios.
Meeting Tinker Bell. She was funny and spirited. They chatted about their talents of cartwheeling and flipping.

The girls were so excited and had on their matching bows.
Audrey asked about her favorite dwarf. She said it would be like mommy picking her favorite child!
Thrilled with wishing star and wand at the table
Kathryn loved the princesses. Even if she was grumpy, hot and tired, she would turn on the charm when they showed up. Sleeping Beauty was very sweet.
Hugs
Meeting Princess Jasmine (the girls called her Princess Jazz Man.)

We met some girls waiting to meet the stepsisters. The girls quickly connected that they had matching dresses, but since they were from Brazil, talking was limited. It was sweet to watch them interact. They lined themselves up and gave each other hugs.
The stepsisters were hilarious. Audrey was a bit overwhelmed but Kathryn took it all in.
She told them she would be a chef when she grows up. (I've never heard her say that!) They convinced her to make eggs for them.

Headed home on the plane. First trip for K and second for Audrey (though she was a baby on the first). All went well (minus some tears at take off and landing). K was entertained with the princesses and pretend play. Audrey loved her DVD player and technology.
We had a great trip overall. Many thanks to Grandmother and Granddaddy for joining us! Many memories were made, and we hope to be back again soon (with Andrew next time!)
