To Disney and back in 3 days!

So.
What do you get when you:
1) Have two Give a Day, Get a Day tickets from Disney
2) Have enough points for a free hotel visit; and
3) Have a teacher workday two weeks before your fourth birthday?
Well, you pack your bag and you drive south, that's what! You drive and drive from breakfast until dinner (and you snack all the way in between), and then you run around like a banshee and tell the world that you've arrived!
And so we got there and got in our special jammies and we were just beside ourselves!

And then believe it or not, we slept a little bit! And then we got up as soon as we could get our eyes back open again and we woke up the folks and we told them it was almost time!
Then we got dressed in our Disney shirts and got to the park right when it opened!
And oh my, did we have some fun. We rode Goofy's Barnbuster Roller Coaster five times! We even got frequent flyer cards, which I brought into school today for show and tell! Jessa had to sit this ride out, and she also had to sit out Splash and Thunder Mountain, on account of her being itty bitty still-- but not me and not Mina! Mina surprised us all by loving the roller coasters. We thought she might be scared, but she was not one bit scared, she was only excited and happy to be celebrating her fourth birthday at the happiest place on earth.



There were lots of rides Jessa could do though, and so she had a blast, just like we did.

Buzz Lightyear!

Jessa's favorite was the Country Bear Jamboree. She likes those singing bears!

And of course, we all liked the parade.

And we all were mostly ok with the characters, although for some reason, I was standoffish with Jessie and Woody. I just refused to say hello, even though I waited to see them. Not sure what that was about, but I do feel better now, so that's good!

And I was happy to visit the princesses!

Yay for Disney World! Yay for two weeks to Mina's 4th!
