disney christmas

it's been a busy holiday trip so far!  here are some snapshots of our trip to disney world and the animal kingdom.  she was such a trooper!  other kids were having complete meltdowns around us but our happy babe was having the time of her life.  she loved the teacups and wanted to go again.  we all enjoyed the pooh ride and i really liked the super-interactive play area for the kids waiting in line.  we also squeezed in the haunted mansion where saraya was amazed by the ghost that hitched a ride and snatched her head off of her body.  justin and i even managed to sneak in a ride on splash mountain.

i think she was surprised that i made it spin faster

"again!"

teacup success






learning about bell flowers from daddy 
 
amazed by the "redishes" in rabbit's garden that popped up

cinderella's castle at night just before...

lights!

so many lights!
our animal kingdom adventure began with a crazy bird that dropped a poop bomb that splashed about 5 people at once.  yes, i was one of those people.  so were justin and my sister.  saraya and grandma escaped unscathed. after that intro justin, lynn and i decided to ride the kali river rapids to see if we could wash a little off.  then we all caught the lion king show.  pandi was mesmerized.  it's a pretty cool show if you have the opportunity to see it.

mesmerized by...
this!
after the show
christmastime is a very busy time to visit the magic kingdom but i think it was just as successful as her first visit to disneyland.  saraya loves mickey mouse and even though she won't remember this trip, i'm happy that i will be able to remember the joy and wonder on her little face...

  1. Love the effect you did on that last pic! It looks like it is nostalgic already and a moment in time sealed in your memory for later on. :-)
