Oh my goodness....I owe a HUGE apology to all of you. I am terribly sorry for not posting after our trip and feel terrible about it. I am posting pics now. We have had a lot of "life" going on with me in school, the girls and their extracurricular stuff and my mother's illness. So- I just pray you guys can please understand and forgive me...
We had a wonderful time in Disney back in March. Khelsey was a bit "off" the first day but handled everything like a champ! It wasn't until the 3rd day that we had to deal with the "evil" Khelsey. I think she was just tired because we actually did all 7 parks in the 5 days we had....CRAZY but we don't regret it. We got to get a little piece of magic from all of the parks so it's all worth it! Plus We spent most of our time in Magic Kingdom and that's all we wanted.
And Wendy- you may get a kick out of this...but Khelsey JUST received a wheelchair that is HERs and HERs to keep!!!!
I am uploading them onto our Photo site so the next post will have the pics...
Ok...Here's a recent little collage of pics we just had taken...
Now Here's the Pics @ GKTW:
Our Villa:
The Next morning and our FIRST character meeting ever!!!!!! Khelsey was SOOOOO angry this morning...but Curious George walked up to her and she burst out laughing!!! It was the BEST reaction I have EVER seen!!!!
Awesome!!! What a great batch of pictures so far. My goodness the girls have grown so much since the trip!!!!!!!!! YAY For her own wheelchair - FINALLY!!!!! lol.....Im so glad your trip was a blast!!
We met Mickey & Minnie:
(Kaylie was very impressed how Minnie signs her name the same way no matter where you met her~ We met saw her quite a few times...
PLUTO is Karis' ALL TIME FAV now...she bought a Pluto stuffed animal right before we left there and she still sleeps with him every night....
I don't think Travis took a lot of pics of the Christmas parade and party because he had the 3 girls to himself while I was in orientation...But they got to see Santa and picked out a present. It was really funny too because a penguin (person in costume) came and wanted to see Kaylie's gift- she gave it to him to see and he took off running away with it! She thought he was stealing it...but he brought it back laughing...hahahaha. I loved those little tricks they pulled. All of the girls had a great time and we had really loved it.
Day 2: Universal Bound! (All for Khelsey)
Traditional Pic in the Van
Khelsey could stay at this place forever!!!
She did NOT want to leave him...she kept going back...
We rode a ton of rides, Khelsey even rode the Dr. Suess Cat in the Hat ride...which she didn't like too much...it was too "spinny". She enjoyed it there but I couldn't wait to see her reaction for the next day: SEA WORLD!!
DAY 3: Character Breakfast at the Boardwalk, then SEA WORLD!
Khelsey just LOVES the characters!!!
So does Dad....
Arriving in Sea World!!!!!! I think Khelsey could live here forever too...she LOVED it here!!!
We watched a Dolphin show and that was just AWESOME!! Dolphins are my all time fav....Khelsey really enjoyed watching it too...they had awesome Parrots and other birds flying through the crowd and she loved that...
We got to feed the dolphins too and THAT WAS AWESOME!!!
Then we saw the Whales!!! Believe!
We made it back in time for Mayor Clayton's birthday party...
Can't forget the anytime ice cream!!!
We had such an exhausting day...but oh my gosh...I would do it all over again in a heart beat!!!
Day 4: Epcot & Hollywood Studios! (Wish we could do these 2 over again...too much in one day and didn't get to see much...)
Before we left...we had to visit around GKTW:
On our way!
They met Tinkerbell too and she just talked and talked to these girls...they were soooooo happy! Even Khelsey was quite amused by her!
We rode the Finding Nemo ride and Khelsey really did like this one...she loves the Pixar movies.
Then we waited for the Fantasmic show! That was sooo cool!
Day 5: Animal Kingdom & Magic Kingdom
This was a day I couldn't wait for!! We played for a bit at GKTW first then we were off again for our long long COLD day!
We met Mary Poppins!
And Goofy!
Kaylie is a character in herself! She fits in great in this Magical World... lol
The Safari Ride!
THE EXCITEMENT!!!!
First we rode the train around the entire Magic Kingdom...Khelsey really enjoyed this...
I'm going to continue this day on the next post....
The Parade was AWESOME but it got SOOOOOO COLD that night...I had to go shop and find some pants for the little girls to wear...luckily I had brought a change of pants for Khelsey which were a pair of jeans. (We were all wearing shorts!
Once we got back to the Villa, Karis HAD to try her dress on again....she wore it sooo much!
Exhausted little monkeys...
