Bibbidi Boppidi Boutique

Reagan had a special visit to the Bibbidi Boppidi Boutique. This is where Cinderella's Fairy Godmother's helpers help to transform little girls into beautiful princesses. Reagan wanted to wear her Tinkerbell outfit, so she was transformed into a beautiful Tinkerbell. This boutique is like a large salon with multiple stations. By the time Reagan was complete, about 12 other girls were in the process of transforming too! If you can't tell, she loved everything from the hair, the nails, the makeup, and the special face jewel that was placed on her cheek. At the end, she sent her tip into the wishing well, and got to sign her name in the Princess book....very exciting!

Magic Kingdom is Truly Magical!

I think that Fourth of July is the one busiest days in the Disney World Parks. I'm not sure that I have ever seen so many people in my life! John and I were wondering if we made a mistake coming the first week of July, but the rest of the week really wasn't too bad. Reagan is very much in love with all of the Disney Princesses, and we were lucky to get to see some on the first night! Since everyone was leaving after the fireworks, we decided to stay a little longer. Luckily, the line was very short to visit with the Princesses. Reagan got to see Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Belle. She happened to be wearing her princess shoes that had these three princesses on them! The Princesses thought this was great! Hudson, of course, didn't want anything to do with the Princesses! All of the Princesses talked with Reagan and the experience was truly magical for her!

Fourth of July - Disney Style

We got into Orlando late afternoon, got checked into our hotel, had a bite to eat and on to the Magic Kingdom we went! We got there just in time for the Fourth of July fireworks demonstration. It was absolutely beautiful! Thank you for all the people that keep our wonderful nation free and safe!

Traveling....

We began our travel to Disney on the Fourth of July. The kids are amazing travelers. I wasn't sure how Hudson would do since he is sometimes slow to warm up to new experiences, but I was pleasantly surprised! He is a typical boy and loved all the airplanes, shuttles, and transportation pieces in the airport. They both did great on the airplane and loved every second. They actually both napped a little on our flight. Both have flown before, but neither of them remembered it, so it was like a brand new experience. I see more air travel in our future!

Disney World 2011

We had a complete blast at Disney World this week! I had hoped to put some pictures up throughout the week, but it was impossible to do so. We were in the hotel room very little, and when we were there, we were all exhausted! The trip was great but did have a few bumps in the road with the great "Hope" luck. Hudson started running fever two days before we left, and Reagan started running fever on our last night of the vacation. At least we got through the majority of the vacation fever free! We are so blessed to have such great kids...they did a wonderful job traveling and loved every minute of the excitement! I plan on getting some photos up in the next few days. Keep watching...I have 500+ photos to choose from!

Hudson's Hair Cut...With no tears!

For the last year (at least) we have been trying to cut Hudson's hair at home since our first two trips to Groovy's Cuts for Kids did not go well. I have to say that we did an okay job, however, not great! I took Reagan to get her hair trimmed on Friday, and Hudson was along for the ride. I didn't plan on getting his hair cut, but he decided that he wanted it cut! He wanted to ride in the jet airplane and was upset that Reagan got to go first. This is in stark contrast to our previous visits! We had to get a few pics of him since he did so well!

Slip-n-Slide Fun!

A few weeks ago, we invested in a slip-n-slide. The first day that we had it, Reagan had me and Nan out playing, so soon after, Daddy got to have a chance! I'm not sure who had more fun! As you can tell, both were having a good time taking turns!
