Disney Part I

We left a day early for our Disney trip to beat Hurricane Hanna. This also meant we got to spend another day at the parks! The weather was beautiful, and the crowds were non-existent...definitely the best time to visit Mickey. This was Marianne's first trip to Disney World as a walker, and she loved it! We spent most of our time doing things that Marianne would enjoy. Here are some pictures....

"High School Musical" has a block party several times a day at Hollywood Studios. We caught a show on our first day at the parks, and Marianne loved the music and the dancing. As the show was leaving, she chased it down, not wanting it to end....."STOP! I want to DANCE!"
Each park has a great playground area for kids, and Hollywood Studios has perhaps the best playgound of all: it's the "movie set" of "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" so the kids are surrounded the ginormous blades of grass, leaves, spiders, mushrooms, and even a can of Play-Doh! Marianne discovered the sprinklers and decided to play in the water for most of her time at the playground. She cries when I rinse her hair in the bathtub, but doesn't mind water spraying directly into her eyes at Disney World...
Here's Marianne playing at the "Laughing Place", a small playground near Splash Mountain at the Magic Kingdom. We played here while Daddy, GaGa, and PaPa rode one of the best rides at Disney World.
We took several trips on the Walt Disney Railroad throughout the week!
We visited Mickey's house in Toontown, and Marianne was interested in the pumpkins in Mickey's garden.

Long time no write...

OK folks, sorry for the lack of postings in the month of September. We spent the second week in September at Disney World, the third and fourth weeks in varying degrees of sickness, and now we are headed to the Outer Banks for a family fall vacation. Get ready for some pictures!
