Zoo Day with the Grands!!!

October 7th: GrandPop's First Time to the Zoo

This October GrandAnnie and GrandPop made a quick trip down to SC for Uncle Brian and GrandPop to hike the Appalachian Trail. The girls were off school secondary to all the flooding, so we decided to take GrandPop to the zoo for the very first time. It was a perfect day!!

I absolutely ADORE this picture of the girls with GrandAnnie and GrandPop!!

Big girl always likes to pose with the Lions!!

 

Littlest girl not to be left out.

 

We love this special time with GrandPop!! My in-laws run a B&B in Nova Scotia, so usually GrandPop only gets to come down to SC at Christmas time...but this year we got a SURPRISE VISIT!!!

Looking for the grizzly bears.

This little bit loves her GrandMom!!

Katy Ellis riding the Choo-Choo with GrandPop!!

These two!! So alike.. Grandmom and Blakely are kindred spirits!

This was GrandPop's first time feeding the giraffes...

...I think he liked it!!

Y'ALL!!!! We NEVER see the gorillas out and about!! This was a rare treat!!!

GrandPop treated Blakely to the photo booth!! She was so, so excited!!

Carousel ride!!

We had such a fun, special day!!! Thank you GrandAnnie and GrandPop for a super fun day!!!

Monk's Love Mickey: Day 6

September 18th: FULL Magic Kingdom day and Crystal Palace

On our final day in Disney, we decided to GO BIG!! We decided to stay ALL DAY LONG! We had never done this before. We had always been there when the park opened, and then left close to nap time(ie 2pm). We knew Blakely could push through, and we hoped KE would nap in the stroller. Because Disney is, well, MAGICAL... that is exactly what happened!! :)

On our way on the Monorail! The monorail ride is as much an attraction as Dumbo to Blakely.

LOVE LOVE LOVE when Magic Kingdom is decorated for fall!!

Winnie the Pooh's house!!

Waiting in line is way too much fun on Winnie the Pooh!!

Alice in Wonderland!!

But who they REALLY waited in line to see... THE WHITE RABBIT!!

 

One more turn on the Tea Cups!

Enchanted Tales with Belle! Richard was a Suit of Armor.

Blakely was the Armoire!!

We got to meet Belle!!!

Belle with her Suits of Armor!!

 

Rock on!!! Ready to burn rubber on the Tommorowland Speedway!!

Little girl got to drive!! She was so excited to be behind the wheel!!

Space Ranger Spin!

Blakely: "Did you see? I got points too!!"

Embarrassed by my intensity in this picture! Bahahaha! But if you look right you can see a yellow bow... that's KE!

Monster's Inc. Laugh Factory!!

Next, Pixie Hollow to meet Tinker Bell!! Pixie Dust!!!

Blakely loved meeting Tinker Bell!!

KE was a little distracted by all the giant stuff to look at!!

 

Disney World prizes are the best prizes!! Blakely picked out "Baby Ara-girl!!"

KE loving on her baby Winnie the Pooh at the Crystal Palace...waiting to meet the real deal!

We had lunch at the Crystal Palace to celebrate the end of our magical Disney vacation!!

Love this pic of KE snuggling up with Eeyore.

She is just the sweetest!!

WINNIE THE POOH!!

I love how excited Blakely is in the picture about Piglet!!

TTFN!! Perfect lunch stop!!

Sweet success!! Down for the count after lunch!!



DO NOT get a Fast Pass for Dumbo!! The Big Top circus is NOT to be missed!! The girls played for an hour in here!! It was so much fun for both ages!
