The moments to remember

I have over 1,600 pictures (between what I took, Lonnie, and then the Photopass people) and I was going to do a post of good pictures and stories from the trip then I realized that's the same thing I have in my facebook album (though not all of them) so I thought I'd share the pictures that I will remember forever.  Not the pose in front of the castle or get a picture with Mickey Mouse type pictures... the pictures that I make my heart smile, the moments.

Running their little hearts out at the hotel....

spelling out her name

Kailee jumping up and down when she got her "first" real view of the castle... 

His little hand waving SO hard during the parade... and I don't have a picture of it but when his hand shot straight up to ask "Crush" a question during Turtle Talk.  I would give anything for him to have been picked to see what he was going to ask! 

Dancing with the kids at the "Move-it Shake-it" Parade

Kailee when she saw her first princess (it was Cinderella).

These two kids who rode around in the double stroller (Thanks Aunt Lonnie for hooking us up!) and looked too cool for school.... and of course fought about who was taking up too much room!

I waited in line for 1.5+ hrs to meet Anna and Elsa and it was worth every minute, it made her trip!! Not to mention she was in her Elsa dress... EVERYONE commented and asked where she got it, that made her feel so special!

Pate always wanted to see the princesses but only from afar

The characters were all awesome, they made the kids feel like they were the only kids in the world. They were funny and the kids loved them!!!! Gaston made them (and me) laugh so hard. 

Just having good old fashion fun with my family....

It was the biggest pain in the ass that Pate would NOT look at and certainly would not smile at a camera... he resorted to closing his eyes during pictures.

Mine & Kailee's "kiss fight", as she calls it, at dinner

Pate was BEYOND ecstatic to meet Buzz & Woody (picture is him jumping to "infinity and BEYOND!") only to be so shy when we finally made it up to see them. 

 Pressing Buzz's buttons

Doing anything to keep Pate busy while we stood in line, which may have included handing him a phone or letting him poke my eyes out.... hey, he was happy!

The look Kailee gave the princesses when they talked to her (seriously, check out facebook... the look is there with all of them!!!) or the giggle when Alice made faces behind Kailee's new fan.

This hot sweaty little boy who just wouldn't stop!

The only place I wanted to eat was the Biergarten, I am sure you can guess why but here is a hint... 

and I was nervous the kids wouldn't make it... well they had the time of their lives! 

One of Kailee's favorite things was being a "wilderness explorer" at Animal Kingdom, she was so into learning and getting her badges (we did NOT schedule enough time at this park... we won't make that mistake again).

Being with this guy.... we have to spend far too much time apart during the week because of his job....

I made an effort to be "in the moment" and not behind the camera (though the thousand-ish pictures say otherwise). There is SO much we did and saw that we have no pictures of and just didn't pick up the camera but regardless I will never forget those things!! I can't wait to go back, next year! ;-)
