Mother's Day

Day 8 was probably one of my favorite days for many reasons.

1) It was Mother's Day and I was with my loving husband and beautiful baby girl.
2) We were on vacation.
3) We were on vacation at Disney

I can't wait to see what next Mother's Day has in store for me. I have a feeling it will be hard to top this!

Day 8...our final day at Disney before heading back home early the next morning led us back to the Magic Kingdom to ride the things we had missed and to go back to the things we enjoyed the first time around.

The weather was absolutely gorgeous. The humidity which had plagued us the day before was gone and the breeze was wonderful. We slept in, I was given a precious card from my baby girl and husband, had a great breakfast, and took our time getting out. This was the first day we were not at the park close to it opening. I think it was 10:30 ish when we got to the MK.

Disney put a nice little touch in helping us celebrate MD. As we walked in they gave out carnations. Kaylie was so excited to give me the one she picked out for me.

I love this picture. We were both in great moods. The picture couldn't have turned out any better. The funny thing was this was the first day she was actually letting me hold her and do things with her and it had nothing to do with Mother's Day.

In Tomorrow Land about to go into the elevator to ride the rocket ships.

Pretty sure she is completely aware her sunglasses are on backwards. We don't even try to fix them any more. As long as she wears them we are happy.

Love ya baby. So glad we got this well needed break that went so incredibly well.

Very high up...she isn't too happy about that.

When she first got on this ride she was terrified. As the ride started she didn't want to do it until J told her to fly. After that every thing was good.

I love this picture. Not only do they look adorable but the colors in the back are amazing.

Side note...don't try and turn around to take pictures when spinning in circles. I didn't feel that great when I got off. Funny thing was another mom did the same thing and felt the same way. The things we do for a good pic.

Right after this we ended up randomly catching the start of the Monster's Inc. show. This was another show just like the one at EPCOT where they use the audience to entertain the audience. I am pretty sure Kaylie didn't have a clue what was happening but I got a good laugh out of it.

Buzz Light Year Ride...she did great shooting the monsters.

After Buzz Light Year we decided to sit down and eat while taking turns going on Space Mountain. This ended up taking a good hour or so and by the time we were ready Kaylie was starting to become severely exhausted so we decided to hit the rides she loved before going home to take a nap and miss the hottest part of the day.

The first two times she rode this she had a blast so we decided to do it again.

I love that you can barely see her head over the steering wheel.

We knew she was exhausted when she freaked out during this ride and then started asking to go home. Poor baby was so tired.

She was so tired we decided to hold off on going back on the Goofy Train even though she was very persistent. We knew that we could cause her to start screaming and ruin her good memories of the trip keeping her from wanting to ride rides in the future so we decided to wait and do it again when we came back later that evening.

This was the cutest thing when it was done. Kaylie was being given pixie dust. It wasn't cute two weeks later when I was trying to get it out of her hair. I am still finding it in her hair.

As we were leaving we realized the parade was about to start so we found a great spot close to the front and watched it go by before heading back. She loved it. J and I were so glad we got to see at least one before leaving.

Pluto coming out first was a great way to keep her attention.

She waved at everything. So precious how she tells every thing hello and good bye.

Aside from the food on her face I thought this profile pic was so sweet and innocent looking.

Sorry for all the parade pictures. Had to make sure to include all of the princesses. Snow White is Kaylie's favorite.

It amazes me how detailed EVERYTHING is in the park. They do not skimp on anything!

Mommy's favorite. Poor beast got cut off. No love for him.

Daddy's favorite.

We got back to the hotel around 3:30 ish to cool off and relax. Since Kaylie asked to come back to take a nap we figured it wouldn't be a problem getting her to sleep. On the very last day of our trip Miss K took her first "real" nap in a bed. She was so happy to be sleeping she didn't want to get up. We woke her up at 6 so we could go back to the Magic Kingdom for there magic hours (open late for guests of Disney hotels) and she wouldn't move. We ended up carrying her half asleep to the boat. She finally woke up when we got into the boat to transfer. Poor thing. It finally caught up to her.

When we got there we went and rode several of the rides she enjoyed over again in an attempt to liven her up some. We knew she wanted to ride the Goofy Train but knew it wouldn't be smart the way she was so we went ahead and road some of the things we wanted to ride.

We went over to splash mountain and thankfully, the line was only ten minutes long. The first time I ever rode this we waited 4 hours for it. You can enjoy it more when you don't have to wait very long. Right before the end of the ride everything stopped and a cast member came by asking if anyone had gotten out of the boat. Come to find out the cameras caught someone getting out of the boat after the big drop and they were trying to find them. Not sure where they went but they never found them.

By the time I got back to J it had been a good 30 minutes. At this point Kaylie was more than done. You can tell by the next picture. It was pretty hard to miss a child passed out in the stroller.

She actually tried to get herself comfortable but after a failed attempt Jason helped. This was the deciding factor when it came to the Goofy Train. At this point we figured there was no way. She was sad but let it go as she fell back asleep.

Since she was out cold J and I decided to continue riding the things we wanted to. We did one more trip on the train roller coaster before heading out. While I was on it the fireworks began. I met back up with J and Kaylie and enjoyed watching the fireworks as a family on the last night of our trip. Definitely a great way to put an end to an amazing experience. We picked up a few souvenirs for little miss and headed back to the hotel.

My Mother's Day was amazing and I felt incredibly blessed and honored to celebrate it in a magical place with two people who love me unconditionally. Thanks for a great day. I love you both so much!
