Disney World (day 4)

My favorite day of the trip for sure!  A sleep late day, breakfast by the pool, swimming all morning, afternoon parade at the Magic Kingdom, portraits by the Candy Shoppe, watching the girls watch the afternoon castle performance, thrill rides captured with my telephoto lens, and princess Tianna as we walked back 'home'.  Day of perfection!

Thanks MJ for making Abigail Mickey waffles just like her sister.

Disney Heaven = the girls letting me take as many portraits of them in front of the Candy Shoppe as I wanted.

I adore how the big bag in her hands and the big picture window make her look little.

Watching the girls watch a performance is so much fun.  Of course I spend my time thinking, "maybe the next time we're here Abigail won't be little enough to sit on Scott shoulders for a castle show."  And then I have to snap out of my thoughts and just enjoy it now... They're my daughters; they'll always be little enough for Disney.

On to the big rides!

Okay, so I carried the telephoto lens all around for eight straight days for a picture like this.  I got it!

And this one makes me smile!

Yes even my size 4T six year old conquered Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!

Anna and Abigail LOVED Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (yeah, so we could all go on it the next day) but didn't love Splash Mountain.  Anna thought the wet seats were too icky to sit on.  Just like her mommy! 

33

Even with the telephoto I had to crop way in here to get their faces.  Excuse the grain but love the hat flying off of the man in front of Scott.  What was he thinking?  Didn't he see the ride before he got on?  And yes, his hat was gone for good.

And this pair was delightful.  They chatted with my girls like they were the only ones in the park.

I think Anna likes a prince hand on her shoulder.

Oh... my favorite princess picture of Abigail.

Trying to figure out how to say Abigail's name.  Funny and sweet.
