We just got back from a fabulous trip to Disney World with Jeff's family! It was SO much fun! The girls loved every minute of it and they did really well for being so wiped out by the end of the days! It was brutally hot, but we took in lots of water with us and little clip on fans - that helped. We've got a ton of pictures and funny stories, so get ready! I hope I can remember everything I wanted to share. I kept thinking I should have brought a notebook and pen with me to write down some of the precious things the girls said that I didn't want forget. Jeff and I tried to think of as much as we could on our way back home today.
They also loved playing at this table with My Little Pony toys and accessories. I think Annlee and Maryella could have stayed there for hours!
They also had fun playing in a Dinosaur dig area and Annlee decided that she wants to be a paleontologist when she grows up.
In the same store where this Dino dig was, there was a huge dinosaur that moved and roared when you first walked in. It was so funny because the girls were casually walking in and then it was like they hit a brick wall and wouldn't go another inch when they saw the dinosaur. It took some work, but we finally got them all in the store!
We ate lunch at McDonald's where Kaylin loved the lights on the table - they looked like cups.
We took lots of pictures with the character statues that were around the stores.
Kaylin felt she was pretty clever for putting bunny ears on Donald.
Before we left, Kaylin found where a big Stitch head on top of a building would spit water occasionally. The girls had to stand there until they got spit on. It shocked Maryella at first because she didn't know it was coming.
We arrived on Sunday afternoon in Tampa and celebrated several birthdays over at Aunt Sandi's house. Aunt Sandi and Uncle Ray gave Maryella a Tinker Belle doll that she got so excited about. She decided pretty quickly that she would be taking that in to show Tinker Belle at Disney World.
The next morning, we got up and got things ready and drove over to Disney with Jeff's parents, his sister Heather and her baby, Elijah, who is 2 months younger than Elianna, and Jeff's brother Bobby. Heather's husband, Rafael came late Wednesday night to join us. We were staying in a house about 16 miles from Disney. That didn't sound too bad at first, but ended up being about 30-40 minutes away. That's a tough drive when you're beyond tired after a full day at Disney!
We had a pool at the house and we played in that for a little while on Monday evening before dinner.
Elianna then decided that a Disney vacation would be a good time to start rolling over from her back to her tummy. Jeff missed that first several times, but finally was able to see her do it a day or two later. She has even started getting her knees up under her once she rolls over. She looks so funny with her little hiney sticking up in the air!
Tuesday, we got up and went to Downtown Disney for the morning. The girls had $25 each to spend on whatever they wanted - but that was for the whole trip. They wanted to spend everything in the first 5 minutes, but limited themselves to 1 thing each. Maryella bought an Ariel playset (like little Polly Pocket dolls) that she has played with every minute she could since then. Kaylin picked out a Tinker Belle wallet and Annlee chose a Cinderella change purse. They were both really excited to have a place to put their own money, but were a bit disappointed that I wouldn't let them carry it around themselves.
In Downtown Disney we played at the Lego store and the girls raced Lego cars that they made.
They also loved playing at this table with My Little Pony toys and accessories. I think Annlee and Maryella could have stayed there for hours! They also had fun playing in a Dinosaur dig area and Annlee decided that she wants to be a paleontologist when she grows up.

It shocked Maryella at first because she didn't know it was coming.We went back to the house that night and swam again, ate, and then called it a night. The next day would be full and exciting one!
