November 13th Magic Kingdom

The girls were so excited that Grammy and Papa were meeting us at the park today. My parents had to go to a sales presentation and than they would meet us at the park. It took a little longer then they thought it would but that is ok we had a few things to see that we hadn't seen yet. We rode Ashley's favorite ride the Mad Tea Party. She can not get enough of this one. We don't even have to spin it anymore. She does it all my herself.

We also did Pirates of the Caribbean, Swiss Family Robinson and a Jungle Cruise. It really wasn't anything exciting but it was nice to be able to see everything. One of my favorites from the morning was the Hall of Presidents. We thought this one would be especially important for Madison since she is studying US history at school. The film was nice. It hit on a few of the influential presidents of our nations history. It ended with a display of a wax model of each president. It was cool to see them all up there. Madison really enjoyed it. Ashley fell asleep which was exactly what we wanted.

It was finally time for lunch and we had reservations at our favorite restaurant from last time, Tony's. We loved this place. It had the best food and it is a fun place. It is patterned after the Tony's from Lady and the Tramp. My parents met us there and was ready for a fun filled day that we had planned for them.

We started out by watching the parade. I kinda planned our lunch so that it would ending about the time we were done eating because it would give us the perfect seats to see the parade. Ashley loved seeing all the characters and the singing and dancing. Our first stop was Stitches Great Escape. Ashley and I headed over the Buzz Lighyear ride since she is not a fan of Stitch. We thought it would be funny to see how my mom enjoyed it. She didn't want to do it again. I think everyone needs to experience it though. When they were done with it we went back to Buzz lightyear. Ashley could not get enough. She rode with my dad and they had alot of fun. We had alot of fun taking Grammy and Papa on all our favorite rides. There were a few rides that Ashley wasn't tall enough for and Grammy wouldn't like so I took the train with them to keep them busy while the others rode rides. We met them at their ride and then took the train back to our stroller. The day was over so we headed for the gates but stopped to pose for some pictures with the castle as a background.
It was a great day and it was nice to have some fresh adults to keep up with the kids. We only had one stop before we headed back to our hotel. Kevin's favorite author just happened to at Downtown Disney signing books. Kevin was so excited and we brought some of our books from home to have him sign. Unfortuatly his website had the times wrong so we arrived too late. Thankfully we didn't miss him all together. He would be in the Magic Kingdom the next day. I guess we will be at the Magic Kingdom bright and early.
