The Happiest Place on Earth

Yesterday was incredible. Our children (and my niece Alyssa) thought we were headed to the Kennedy Space Center! Never did they seem excited about the idea, but of course had no say in the matter! So, they loaded up in the car for the ride and put on the sitcom Reba on the portable DVD player and literally watched it the whole way. When we finally arrived to the entrance of the Disney highways, I asked them to look up and read the signs. First, the girls were confused, then shocked, then screamed. The whole family had an awesome day. We met princesses, Minnie Mouse, etc, and road the tea cups, Dumbo, It's a Small World and so on. We arrived at the park at 10:30 A.M. and did not leave until Tinkerbell flew from the Cinderella's castle and watched the final parade of the day. It was 12:15 when we left...almost FOURTEEN hours later (about the length of our drive to Florida). We will post pictures when we get home (forgot the cords for the camera). Greg and I can't explain the excitement of the girls. It was more than we had expected...it truly is the happiest place on Earth!!! Today we are headed to the beach...it is beautiful outside today!

What a great way to surprise the girls. I am worried, though. I have heard the girls scream. How is the hearing after they were set off in the enclosed space of your car? Do you need to learn how to read lips and sign lanquage.
