June 15, 2008 and June 20, 2008

We spent two days at Magic Kingdom. Don't we look like the stereotypical tourists? There are so many things to do here. This was our favorite park. 

We all went on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. You can see that Krista really enjoyed the ride. Ashley even put her hands up during the ride. In the second picture, Abbie and Krista are enjoying Splash Mountain . Well, maybe not Abbie - she was terrified of this ride! She enjoyed Space Mountain though.

We had lunch at Cinderella's Royal Table in the castle. The girls posed in front of the tile mosaic depicting the story. Ashley was excited to meet Cinderella. She had drawn a picture to give her when they met. Cinderella very much appreciated Ashley's picture and even said that Ashley had beautiful cursive handwriting. She told us she had a special place for Ashley's picture. We had a decent lunch and a visit from other princesses. Snow White, Belle (Beauty and the Beast), Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) and Jasmine (Aladdin).  

The afternoon parade was exciting to see. The nighttime parade is very spectacular but difficult to photograph. You will have to use your imagination. 

There was a Hoedown in Frontier Land.  The girls had fun doing the hokey pokey with the dancers.  The bear is one we had just seen in a show called Country Bear Jamboree. They got a sticker for participating.
Here we are finding a spot for the evening fireworks.  A friend of ours had told us to be on a special bridge to get a close up look at Tinkerbell. (Ashley's Favorite)  We were so glad she told us. Tink flew right over our heads. Ashley was thrilled. Night pictures are so difficult to take, and Fireworks are almost impossible.  Ken got a great shot for us.
