    The girls never stopped moving all day while at Disney’s Magic Kingdom.  The only time we paused was standing in line, on the rides or at the shows.  We did have a few bathroom breaks since the girls were drinking about 50 ounces plus throughout the day from their camel backs.  The camel backpacks have been a life saver or should I say back saver.

    Each person carries their own food and drink.  The kids never have to ask for a drink or something to eat they can reach in and get their drink, sandwich, snacks, etc…  Of course hand sanitizer is on every backpack to for all the germs we encounter while we are out and about. The had no problem carrying the backpacks and you’ll see them wearing them in almost every picture.

    The kids have really enjoyed having the freedom to eat and drink whenever they need to.  Usually when we are standing in line for a few minutes I would remind them that it was a good idea to grab a sip and something to drink.  Although by mid-week I no longer needed to remind them; they did it on their own.  Usually if someone had a snack out it would prompt the rest to get something as well.  This helped a huge amount with preventing dehydration and hungry plus we never had to stop and get something to eat we just kept on going from sunup to sun down.  We wanted to squeeze every last minute of fun out of our trip.

    Karlie was not sure about the transit when it went into the pitch black, she ducked and said, “What’s going to happen now!?”

    One last ride on the Transit after a very long, but super fun day at Magic Kingdom.  We were there at opening and until closing.  And yes, we are still smiling.

    So funny!

    The first time we went to the show it froze in the middle of the show so they had to let everyone out and gave us free fast passes for almost any ride at Magic Kingdom.  The girls were disappointed, but the fast passes helped us get onto Peter Pan much quicker.

    They LOVE anything pertaining to horses and this ride was relaxing too with a short wait.

  • A Spooktacular Halloween

    Monster bags, note, and goodies on their bar stools at breakfast.  They were excited to see a little treat waiting for them at breakfast.  These bags were too cute, the package came with a variety of eyes and mouths that you could put together in any combination.

    Here is a picture of one of the pancake, sausage and bacon Halloween monsters the girls ate for breakfast.

    Jake even got festive Halloween sprinkles on his toast!

    Karlie’s goody bags to share with her class are all packed and ready to distribute!

    Brina’s Halloween class goodies are packed and ready to go!

    Our little Dancer and Superwoman!

    The girls were super excited to have the opportunity to meet up with their cousins (we were able to capture a picture of the adorable blue crayon….there was also a cute little monkey that joined us that evening)!

    Every day for the month of October the girls got a little treat in their pumpkins (if they did well at school, after school activities, and at home).  On Halloween Day they got their last little goodies.  Some of the items they received were Halloween socks, Halloween Underwear, books, glow sticks, crafts, and more!
