Magic Kingdom – Tuesday Night

After the performance we were all really hot.  We spent a few hours in the pool and then we felt so much better.  We had planned to head into the park that night but Zack and Kathryn were tired so they stayed at the house with the Keevers.  It was a lot of fun to head into the park with just Lauren.

On Aladdin’s Magic Carpets with Grandpa

We climbed to the top of the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse just as the sun was setting and we got the most amazing view of the castle.

 

We rode a few more rides before ending our day with the Electrical Parade.  

 

Lauren was exhausted after a long day.

Lauren’s Dance

I dropped Lauren off in her dance uniform and then I headed to the stage to get a front row spot.

Despite a temperature of 101 at performance time, these 8-9 year old girls did amazing!!! 


 
Here is a video that I took of the performance.  Lauren is the little one with the long dark ponytail.

Tuesday Morning at Magic Kingdom

The whole reason for this trip to Disney was so that Lauren could perform with her dance studio.  Tuesday was dance day so Lauren and I stayed at the house to get ready while everyone else spent the morning at Magic Kingdom.

It was Zack’s first time to a Disney park and he was so excited when he spotted the castle for the first time.

They went on a few rides before joining us at Downtown Disney for Lauren’s dance

Monday Afternoon – Downtown Disney

After a brief trip home to change we headed to Downtown Disney for the afternoon.  Our first stop was at the newly reopened Lego store.   I am not sure who had more fun building a race car; the adults of the kids.  lol

  


It was getting hot so we headed over to the sprinkler area so that the kids could cool off.
     
Ellie looked hot so I offered to bring her in too – I think that she loved it.
 
We poked around the shops for a bit and posed for lots of pictures.
 
We headed over to T-Rex for dinner.  It was a very cool restaurant – similar to Rainforest Cafe (but with better food).
         

We finished the day with a swim in the pool. If you look close you can see Lauren in mid-air doing a cannonball.
