Headline News: 4 Adults Pay Top Dollar to Watch 18-monther Entranced by Disney's Magic!

Lucky us, Grampa Joe and Nana Sue came down for a fun filled weekend! Hannah loved spending time with her grandparents (she even calls them "Joe" and "Sue"...I think she looks at them as her big kid playmates rather than grandparents). We went swimming, enjoyed the warm weather, indulged in some delicious food, played golf (well, Steve and Joe), saw Shaq's house, sang lots of "Ring-Around-the-Rosies", and watched General Conference (this is where we get to listen to the Prophet and the Apostles of our Church speak to us). We even visited the biggest McDonalds in the world...recently added as #8 to the "7 Wonders of the World", just minutes from our house (if Disney World or the Alfandre family isn't enough to bring you to Orlando, that should!).

But, the crowning memory, has to be seeing Hannah's face (and all of our faces watching Hannah's face) as we entered the gates to Disney World's Magic Kingdom! Disney has yet another innocent life hooked on the magic! Too fun...

We took a beautiful boat ride into Disney. The weather was perfect...I guess we didn't notice those storm clouds coming in up above...












First parade of the day and Hannah is left dumbfounded. She could not believe what her little eyes were beholding...she couldn't help but frantically wave and shout "Mickey!"


A little rain was definitely not going to slow down this family, even if it was pouring down sideways. I think Hannah is still wondering why we wrapped her up in plastic.


Because of the blessed rain, we were able to get on the Dumbo ride in 20 minutes rather than wait 2 hours! This was a sure favorite. Everytime Hannah saw the Dumbo ride later that day, she'd point and say "wheee!"


Another Mickey spotting.






Caught ya! Hannah sneaks a quick snack from Minnie's fridge.












"Mickeeeeeyyyyyyyyy!!!!"


One last "wheee!"...


Grampa brings the magic home with "Peter Pan". Aaahhh...

That's it! We are coming to Florida. Count us in in September. Ben has to go out for a trade show, so I will just load up the boys and come visit the greatest place on earth -- McDonalds. I'm sold.

Lucky little girl!

I had to go by myself...

Next time, though — WHEE!

silus, it is a criminal act in the US for anyone to have to go to Magic Kingdom without a toddler. This is our open invitation to meet you there in '07, '08? Let's go one further and scheule your WHEE! Hannah's gonna need extra attention; what with a new sis and all. What say ye, silus?

Magic Kingdom is overrated. World's biggest MicD"s? Now that is a sight to behold. The most beeutiful sight these eyes have ever seen. With Hannah eating french fries.

I'm thinking a visit — sometime after the last hurricane — would be perfect.

: )

I'm juggling a few big trips this year: Colorado for Easter, NYC sometime for a show, Ann Arbor for the Summer Arts Festival, Iceland/Norway early this fall, and then back to London early '08... but I'm thinking some time in October sounds nice — I'm afraid I'd melt if I came during the summer.

Cute, cute, cute! Hannah really is so adorable! How fun to live near the happiest place on earth!
P.S. I love the frames over your couch in the last pic!
