the happiest place on earth ...

when we first walked into magic kingdom, we were greeted by a parade full of music, colors, and fun! have i mentioned that i love parades? well i do.



then we took a million photos in front of the castle.

{mia and terri - you may recognize these as their super excited faces}

then we checked out this ride. i don't know what it was called, but it was super lame. luckily, the line was fairly short. in my head, the ride was going to be super fast. i'm pretty sure i could have run faster than those cars, and i do not run fast. and, on top of all that, i got in trouble for not holding onto the steering wheel. i really didn't think i needed to though, since the car ran on a metal rail and the top speed was a crawl.

{terri, josette, and billy at the end of their ride ... approximately 45 minutes after they sat down. ha ha}

it was a good day. i'm pretty sure you can't get better than 2 parades, it's a small world ride, disney princesses, tom sawyer island (more specifically, the barrel bridge where i almost lost a flip flop!), a chance to wear our $14 ponchos (if only for a minute), and big thunder mountain railroad.
