Day 3- First Disney Day!!

Because of the terrible infection Mary had, they had not arrived in Florida yet, so sad!! But Ryan and Cortnee came in on Tuesday, so they were with us when we went in for our first day at Disney World!  

So this was our group going into Magic Kingdom.  

Maris was obsessed with Lauren and Kurtis, and thankfully they like her too :)  Emma likes them a lot as well!

We were split up most of the day; me and the little girls and Eric with the big kids.  So here we are on our first Disney ride, the Astro Orbiter.

Later on the flying carpets--basically the same ride lol

And then Maris got to go do the coolest thing ever: Get all prettied up like a princess at the Bippity Boppity Boutique with her cousins!  It was expensive and ADORABLE.  I have never felt so spoiled in my life!  The little girls all LOVED it. And even though it was at Disney Springs and we had to take a bus and then walk around a lake to get there and back, I loved it too.  And I lost a couple of pounds on the trip from walking like 10 miles a day haha

Emma fell asleep and Ryan offered to hold her so I could help Maris get dressed, so sweet.

Maris and Jayda both chose to be Ariel!

 Here's a couple of shots of the big kids and Eric while we were at BBB.

We went on one roller coaster together after we got back to the park, then called it a day!  It was a circus train?  Or Goofy ride?  Something like that.

Also this day Emma had one of the most giant fits of her life, she lost it for like 30 minutes!  SHe didn't want me to change her diaper, and when I forced her by wrestling her on the bathroom floor, she continuted to scream and try to take her pants off for like 20 minutes!  While we were all starving and trying to look for a place to eat lol. It was horrible but almost comical.  When we finally got some food and sat down she was calm and we looked at each other and were like "wow!  Our Emma is back!" It was crazy but then she was good the entire rest of the trip!

Here she is passed out in the car when we left.

Cute princess cousins!

I realized I put this on the wrong night!  This was the next night, after we went to Animal Kingdom!

That night we put the kids to bed (and left a couple for Katelyn/Kurtis/Lauren to put to bed) and me, Eric, Ryan, Cortnee, Elizabeth, and Kjarom went to After Hours at Magic Kingdom. IT WAS SO FUN!!! One of the best things we did on the trip!

It was so great to be kid-free, we were almost giddy as we ran around the park and went on like 15 rides in 3 hours!

It was so fun to just talk with everyone, like we were just friends hanging out.  And goof off. Eric is so good at knowing where the cameras are!

It was so funny, on this one Cortnee got soaked!

This was hilarious, we went on the Buzz Lightyear ride all trying to beat Whitney's score from earlier in the day. Somehow she got like 900,000 points Look how serious all the pictures turned out, they were stone-cold competitors!!  And I just look confused lol

Great memories.
