Princesses!

Another highlight of our week at Disney World was meeting
lots and lots and lots of
Princesses!


The kids enjoyed re-connecting with their favorite princess from our last visit...
Rapunzel!


 Ariel is also an old favorite...
but this year Kate was really interested in Snow White as well.
So much so, that she choose to dress up as Snow White
for our lunch at Cinderella's Castle!

Not to be outdone by his sister, 
Matthew also insisted as dressing up for our lunch.
Isn't he an adorable little pirate?
Incidentally, we've had a hard time keeping him out of that costume since we returned home.

 Snow White
 Aurora
 Ariel

 Another new favorite this year was Merida...
the heroine of Disney's movie "Brave."
Even though we went to meet her very first thing one morning,
there was a long line.
But, in typical Disney fashion,
there were several fun activities for the kiddos while we waited in line.
 Kate enjoyed trying out archery.
 And Matthew enjoyed coloring while we passed the time until we
FINALLY
got to meet Merida!
 She was definitely worth the wait!



Family Fun at Disney World

Back in early April, 
Tim, Kate, Matthew and I spent a wonderful week in Disney World!
We had a blast!
We missed Daniel but he had a blast with Erin, Grandma and Papa - 
and Disney World with an infant just sounds miserable for all involved!

The very best part of the trip was all the time we got to spend together! 





Meeting Mickey Mouse was pretty cool too!


Of course, when you are 2- or 4-years old,
the hotel room and hotel pool are highlights too!



As the kids get older, they enjoy the rides more and more.
The Dumbo ride was definitely highlight... 


... But the new Ariel ride was their favorite!


 ... And whenever Daddy said, "No more ice cream!"...
