Orlando- Day 4- Monday

This was supposed to be our 2nd day at Magic Kingdom but everybody was tired and Alan and I were sore from carrying around the girls Sunday night since we decided to leave the stroller at the hotel when we went back to MK that evening. Then Madison fell asleep and Alan carried her for about an hour while we watched the Electric Parade and then carrying her back to the car.  We got on and moved our Fast Passes to Tuesday, went and had breakfast, came back and Riley took a nap around 11:30. We started a load of laundry(yes, we are those people) and made our daily plan..

We decided to go to Wonderworks

That lasted a few hours. We don't recommend it for kids under 7 or so. I asked the cashier was there things to do for a 3 year old and she said yes.. I beg to differ. It wasn't worth the money we spent. Luckily the girls were free. That should have been our first sign that it's not meant for preschoolers. 

We came back to the hotel and got in the pool for a while and then the girls went to bed and we went a little later.

Five on Friday

{one} Yes, I do realize I didn't blog Riley's 14th or 15th month. In a nutshell, she's saying about 5 things(Wilma, thank you, this, cat, bye), she's roughly 17 lbs- girl is teeny tiny. Not walking. Walks great with her walker toy and when you're holding her hand but isn't taking steps yet. She no longer wants to be fed but loves feeding herself.
Those curls, though.


{two} Alan and Madison came back from Disney World with the flu. Alan started symptoms Tuesday night while we were there(and he's still sick). The doctor confirmed it Friday morning. This past Sunday, Madison was fine until 10am then laid down and went to sleep in our bed. She never does that unless she's sick. She slept all day. Doctor confirmed her Monday afternoon. Kept her out of school all week until today.
on the way home from the doctor


{three}I've got to keep up with printing pictures. Before Disney, I wanted to clear my memory card because I was unsure if I would take 900 pictures or 10 so I wanted room. I like writing on my pictures for later on in life when someone looks at a pic, they know who it was, how old they were and what month and date. Now I have over 100 pictures that I have to go through Facebook and find out the age and write on them all. I guess it's better than playing Candy Crush.

{four} Alan got another new wedding band. The blue/black one he got starting chipping the Thursday before we left Disney(notice how everything is After Disney/Before Disney now?) so we took it and found out the ring had just been recalled and they are no longer making them. He ordered 2 rings to see which he liked best. Here's similar to what he chose.
{five} Got this today for my Essential Oil storage. I had them in my bathroom drawer but the space they were in was getting too crowded. I use a handful of these daily and then different ones in between. It became too clustered. This one is 54% off currently for less than $16 with Prime shipping. Get yours HERE

Orlando- Day 3- Magic Kingdom- Sunday


Ferry ride to the park

We're here!



We got up, ate and got to the park right at 9. We had a FastPass for Winnie the Pooh at 9:55 and a FastPass for Under the Sea at 12:35. That was a fun ride! In between those we rode Dumbo, People Mover, the Merry go Round, watched the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor Show, saw the Fantasy Parade, rode Tomorrowland Speedway, It's a Small World and Mad Tea Party.



It's a Small World






We were able to catch the Fantasy Parade..

"It matches!"


The girls were getting ill so we decided to leave for a bit. The girls instantly fell asleep in the car while we stopped and picked up lunch. We brought it back to the hotel, ate and Riley and Alan went down for a nap while I got on my laptop and Madison played around.

We left by 5 to head back to Magic Kingdom.



We had a Fast Pass for Peter Pan at 6:15 and then rode the train. We had supper at Starlight Cafe while they were playing a light show on the castle.



After we got done, we caught the fireworks show then rode Dumbo, tea cups and Little Mermaid again.

After that,we found a spot for the Electric Parade. Madison was okay for a few minutes

... and then asked Alan to hold her and then this happened....

We stayed to watch the parade..

We got back to the hotel around 11:30 and all crashed!
