DISNEY WORLD!!

Thanks to a friend who has the hook up Georgia and I were able to go to Disney on Thursday for free! Fabulous!! It was me and Georgia, Casey and Marky, Angela and Savannah and Lisa and Kaden. We had such a good time.

We started at Hollywood Studios (MGM Studios for us Disney Pros!)

Angela and I rode the Rockin Roller Coaster but that was the last "adult ride" because Georgia screamed the whole time I was gone and let's face it - this day was for her and the other kids. Us adults can ride those rides anytime!

We took the kids to Playhouse Disney and they did a live Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Georgia was in heaven!

They couldn't take their eyes off the stage!

After Hollywood Studios we went to the Magic Kingdom. It was so exciting. I realized I hadn't been to Disney in several years. When you live here and can go anytime you want it and your kids are either too young to appreciate it or too old (Christian prefers Universal Studios), the magic seems to lose a little luster. It all came back. It was so wonderful.

We headed over to Mickey's Toon Town and let the kids play in the play area.

Savannah, Georgia liked being in Pluto's doghouse. They were so cute!

After the play area we went to tour Mickey's house. At the end of the tour you can go into a different area to meet Mickey Mouse. So Casey, Marky, Georgia and I headed to meet him.

This was the big moment. What we drove 2 and a half hours for. It was Georgia's time to meet her hero! Little did we know Minnie would be there too.

As we got closer and closer Georgia got closer and closer..... to my neck! She was so scared she buried her face into my neck and when I did pull her away for a photo this is what we got.....


She wouldn't even open her eyes to see them. Poor baby!!

It was a wonderful day spend with family and friends. I can't wait to be able to go back with Jason and Christian.

Today I am grateful for service.

Casey moved and I went yesterday to help do a little unpacking and cleaning. I can be a little overbearing when helping. It is so easy to walk into your sister's house and take charge and want to just get the job done. I had to remind myself this wasn't my house and if she wanted something somewhere I needed to respect that. (But, my way is the better way! lol) After I came home last night my heart was full. Serving my sister and her family made me feel great! Thank you for the opportunity to serve.
