    Family Adventures at Disney: A Magical Birthday Experience


    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.

    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.

    while little Molly says no, thank you, I need a nap

    wake me at Buc-ees

    The End.
