Paige and Grace were screaming with delight while viewing all of your fabulous pictures. Looks like you had to much fun! Gracie keeps saying again, mom again. And Paige was super impressed with the pics of Sleeping Beauty.

I love the internary of your trip! It's so funny you do that because I did the same thing for our trip!!

My favorite things about the pics:
*All of the huge smiles on everyone, not just the girls!
*Kyndra in her stylin' sunglasses
*The girls with the huge Mickey statue.
*Your new haircut. It looks so cute short.
*The sleeping beauties-- and not the disney ones, the ones who have had so much fun they just crash!
*Kyndra trying so hard to look at the camera, but finding so many other things to look at instead :)
*The infamous grey headed sweatshirt

Hopefully I will get to see you this weekend!

Looks like a great time. I have a new tool to share for viewing your photos. It's called piclens. You install it as a plugin into your browser and you get to see your pictures in a new, cool way. I loved looking at your pics! Thanks for sharing.

Was it really fun? Was it really hard? Was it worth it? I'm scared to go there with the kids so young.
