Exciting Day

This face doesn't look very excited...maybe because she doesn't know what comes next, ever...

These faces look excited...

And this face sure does. Why is it?

Because this is what we were looking at! Magic Kingdom in Disney World!!

We suprised the children the first day in Florida by taking them to Disney World! What a way to start vacation! We drove from Craig's parents in Atlanta to Orlando the first day of our vacation. A VERY generous young lady in our church gave us tickets to the park. She works there in the summers, and had connections to get us in for free - to us! Thank you Suzie!

As we drove into Orlando late that evening the children started seeing signs with Disney characters on them. Their conversation was hillarious!

Joshua: Maybe we can go to Mickey Mouses' house

Karis: Joshua, you know Mickey Mouse isn't real!

Daddy: Are you sure? Maybe we will see him...

Karis: Daddy, Mickey Mouse is only on TV

This kind of talk goes on for a few minutes.

A few minutes later...

Karis: Why is there so much Disney stuff here?

Daddy: Probably because Disney World is here in Florida.

Joshua: Can we go there someday?

Daddy: Well...(pause) actually...we brought you all the way down here to Florida to suprise you and take you to Disney world!

The kids were speechless. Then they jabbered all about what Disney World would be like for the next 10 minutes until we got to our rental house. This was funny to me because neither one has been there. The funniest was Karis when she said, "I don't know what to imagine Disney World looks like because I have never been there!"
