With the penguins at Sea World
Petting stingrays
Checking out the dolphins in the underwater viewing area
Legoland: I might have had an ulterior motive in going to Legoland. I begged my parents to take us growing up and they refused to! Of course at the time there was only one Legoland and it was in Europe, but still!
Carina and I got to go on a lot of rides together at all the parks since she's too short to go on roller coasters and I don't ride them. Andrew and Ellie were roller coaster buddies.
Carina is a crazy driver....
Figured all of you fox crazy ladies would like these
There are some serious lego statues around!
Disney - of course we had to see princesses. Ariel is Ellie's favorite. The wait was 60+ minutes, but she did it without complaining, cheerful the whole time, and she still says it was worth it even though Andrew and Carina went on a couple rides and saw Clarabelle while we were waiting.
Cinderella's castle with Minnie ears.
Epcot - for whatever reason Ellie really wanted to meet Pluto so she was thrilled to see him first thing when we got into Epcot.
While Andrew and Ellie went on another 'tall' ride, Carina and I got to see Mickey, Goofy, and MINNIE!
And another princess.....
It really was wonderful despite long days, really warm weather (80's the whole time we were there), no naps, and no stroller (that's right, we went stroller free). There was lots of joy, lots of happy, and I'm pretty sure that we have definitively proved that liberal use of gummy snacks makes everything better.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope to have something a little more creative to share soon. :)
Awww...looks like such a fun trip! And I agree - gummy snacks DO make everything better! :-)
