Despite the inauspicious beginning of last week’s Disney World adventures, I gave the journey through the Kingdoms a 10+ on a scale of 1 – 10. Caroline had planned the entire trip for us, which is always our preferred planning process for family fun. Pretty and I depend on our daughter-in-law for all event scheduling; and this trip for our granddaughter Ella’s sixth birthday was arranged for maximum smiles, laughter, thrills, and memory makers as my mother used to say.
Daddy Drew holding Molly, Mommy Caroline radiant behind Birthday Girl Ella
Molly wears Nana’s new hat – who had more fun with the hat?
Olaf, bubbles and a Mickey Mouse sticker turn stroller into magic
Daddy knows best – and had the most fun with his girls
it’s all good
wake up, Naynay – this ride is the best
don’t be mad, Jimmy Kimmel, it’s my birthday
is that really Elsa? I love her
should I try face transformation to match my bonnet?
it worked for Molly
ask me how old I am
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party fireworks
(waiting for the spectacular display, but it had been a long day)
I wondered if the moonlight that covered us as we left the Magic Kingdom that night was real or a part of the Halloween Party light display – just kidding – I wanted an excuse to include this image.
I wish Mommy would let us live in Disney World
Alas, all good things come to an end…birthdays are special times, but they only come around once a year while good times with family happen every day, anywhere.
homeward bound with a big girl who has new worlds to conquer
while little Molly says no, thank you, I need a nap –
wake me at Buc-ees
The End.
I'll Call It Like I See It

Holy cow, Ella is getting soooo grownup!!!! I am in shock! It looks like everyone had a wonderful time! Nothing like seeing the littles so entranced. Nothing. Hudson is on vacation right now at the beach in San Diego, and the pix coming in are showing the same smile.
