Disney and a Wedding!
Earlier this month we went down to Disney World to attend a wonderful wedding! We had so much fun! It was the girls and my first time at Disney . . . I don't know if Eden or I was more excited to go! Here she is, we had just arrived at our hotel and she was so happy that Mickey Mouse was in her room . . . little did she know how much more there was to see!
Here we are at the Magic Kingdom, the first park that we visited. The girls were troopers. We packed a lot into all the days that we were there and they were up to try anything. We even got Eden into the Haunted Mansion (a ride that would have made me cry even at the age of 7!) and Nem fell asleep in there!

While in Magic Kingdom, we all went to meet the princesses. Eden's favorite, "Princess Aurora" from Sleeping Beauty, was so nice and chatted with Eden and made her feel comfortable. Which is a good thing, because as soon as Eden saw the princesses she sort of went catatonic! She didn't quite know what to think. Here, Eden gets a hug from her. She was so happy, and still can't stop talking about it!This is how Nemmers reacted to seeing some of the Disney characters walking around! She just wanted to get up and grab them, touch their noses. If this picture had sound, you would be hearing squeals of excitement and urgent yells to get closer!In Epcot there is a big aquarium exhibit, and it's all Nemo themed. Nem couldn't wait to crawl into the sharks mouth, but Eden was a little more cautious. Check out our wild one!Papa showed Eden all the fish, dolphins, sharks, and turtles that populated the big aquariums. She was really impressed :)
We also went on a safari ride in Animal kingdom. Eden loved it, but Nem just passed out. On the Saturday that we were there, we had dinner in Cinderella's castle! The girls got dressed up and while they waited for us to get ready, Eden and Nemmie were too excited to sit still, they had to dance! Eden: can you believe she's eating a crown made of chocolate! At the wedding, Eden got to be one of Laul's flower girls. She was supposed to be in charge of little Kaleigh, but those two little girls had too much fun and decided to play during the ceremony :) Here she uses her flower as a wand!
Nemmers giving me some love during the ceremony. What a lovey girl.
We had so much fun, we didn't want to go home!!! (the lens wouldn't de-fog because it was so hot and humid and the camera had been in the air-conditioned hotel room all night)
