The Happiest Place on Earth!

Guess where we spent Saturday? What do those comercials say? "Adam and Lianne, you've moved across the country, bought a new house, started a new job, and have a baby on the way . . . what are you going to do now?" Well, of course our answer was "Well, we are going to Disney World!" And so we did. Adam, Clara and I spent all of Saturday with my brother Brian and his family. Since I grew up in this area I can say that I have been to visit Disney quite a few times. I even had a job there for a short time. And I have had some good times there. But I never understood that title "The Happiest Place on Earth". I always thought that was kind of a silly thing to say. You know, you hear that and automatically roll your eyes a little. But as silly as that may be I had the best time ever taking my little girl there and sharing that day with her. And between being pregnant and because I was there with Clara, I didn't go on a single ride or go to an attraction for me, and I have never had a better time there. We loved sharing that day with Clara and my brother's family!






This is Brian and Cameron with Adam and Clara and all the gear in front of Cinderella's Castle. Of course, Jamie and I (the moms) and taking the pictures!

The very first ride we went on was Peter Pan- Clara and Adam are really excited!

We are waiting to eat at a restaurant in frontier land, and these two little cousins can't help but be cute. These pictures are not posed at all!




When we asked Clara what her favorite part of the day was she said, "Meeting the princesses!" She's three, almost every little girl right around three loves the princesses. She met Cinderella, Belle, and Aurora. But Cinderelle, as she calls her is the favorite.







Another unposed sweet moment. Along we go walking along Main Street, and we notice that the two little cousins are holding hands in their strollers! Picture perfect.





Adam wanted Clara to have Mickey ears, so we looked for the right ones all day. He felt very strongley that they needed to have the polka dot bow on them. So the last thing we did that day was buy Clara and Cameron some matching ears!

So as they say at Disney

See you real soon!

You are such a great writer! I agree that sometimes doing the kid oriented stuff can be more fun than the adult rides (i went to 6 flags when i was pregnant with mia). kids get so much enjoyment out of every detail!

The first time we took Elise to Disneyland, where I grew up, was pure magic. I too recognized that amazing happy feeling. It is so fun to live the magic through your kids. There is nothing like a three year old and her princesses.

Wow - Clara is such a little GIRL now! It's been forever since I last saw her. I hope you're enjoying Florida. I'm sure it's awesome to be so close to family.

I'm so glad we finally found your blog! It's good to see the family again. Clara is as cute as ever, and Greg and I especially laughed hard at the picture of Adam and Clara's excited faces for the Peter Pan ride! We're at gregandlara.blogspot.com. Greg is demanding you link us up to your site! :)
