Lots of Hugs-- WDW part 2

Camille is at the age that makes Disney World magical. I only got a few pictures, but she loved the characters and hugged every one of them. Many even received a kiss. I was always too late to snap that shot though. It became habit that she would get the character's autograph, smile for a picture, and then give a hug and kiss as it was time to leave. She was so sweet. All those who wait to go to Disney until your kids are older really miss out on the magical part of it. Katie and Sara enjoyed there time, but it was all about the rides. For Carter and especially Camille it was a chance to meet those characters and friends that are very real to them. The parades, show, rides and character meetings are all made more magical through the eyes of a three year old.

We finally reached a new level of independence this trip. Carter was tall enough for all the rides and Camille only missed two, out of the entire park. We are about done with the baby swapping passes and taking turns. It felt good to walk onto a ride with the entire family. Best part is Carter and Camille loved the roller coasters and faster rides as much as anybody else. Carter's favorite ride was Rock in Roller coaster, and Camille liked Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Splash Mountain. They both enjoyed Tower of Terror. Brad's brother and family were with us and it was like watching our trip six years ago. They have two girls 5 and 3 and a baby boy under one. As I watched them and remembered when we were that family, it made me more grateful for this new stage. No diapers, special food, and taking turns for rides. I am hoping next time we won't even need to rent the stroller.




The princesses were extra special for Camille. Carter loved meeting Woody and Buzz. I will post those later.
