Disney World

My parents are starting a tradition of taking each of their kids families on vacation - so we thought that Disney World sounded perfect. Scott has been to Disney World a lot with his family and has wonderful memories, and we thought it would be a fun place to take Bella. We escaped the frigid cold temperatures in Kentucky and boarded a plane to the magical world of Disney. It has been a great vacation and we've created many memories - probably not memories that will stick in Bella's memory.. but memories for us!

Bella and Daddy on Bella's first plane ride.. and yes, she was the screaming baby in the back of the plane! She did super on the first let of the trip, but after several delays, she was EXAUSTED for the second leg and just screamed her head off for a few minutes before zonking out. It was rather embarrassing and we are hoping that she does not do the same thing tomorrow when we fly home.

We didn't actually buy this hat.. but these hats are one thing I remember from my early childhood trip to Disney, so I at least wanted a picture of her with it.

Are you a real princess???!!!

Bella playing with other girls in line. She was quite the social bug wanting everyone to look at her and say hi. She would quite often reward anyone who did with smiles and giggles.

Papa Sam (aka Baba) and Nonna (Gma Donna) with Bella

Bella meeting Mickey at Animal Kingdom. She loved the nose!

We found a super cool matching hat and gloves for Bella. It wasn't as warm as we would of liked it to be in Florida, but it was definitely warmer than the single digits at home. And today it was gorgeous - 70 degrees and sunny - so we did finally get to wear the shorts and short sleeves.

Our last day at Epcot, a plane writing the message "Jesus loves you" in the sky. It actually almost brought tears to my eyes as I thought of all the people, from all different nationalities, looking up in the sky maybe reading for the first time that Jesus loves them. I also like the reminder.. Jesus loves me!

And here is a video of Bella enjoying a Beauty and the Beast musical show. She really enjoyed the entertainment at Disney. We could tell by her kicking legs, smiling face, and laughing sounds.

So thanks mom and dad for taking us on vacation with you at Disney. We all enjoyed it so much!
