Grammy and Poppy gave us tickets to the Magic Kingdom for Christmas! Norah mentioned several times that it was her FIRST trip to Disney…like we had previously deprived her of an experience that was owed to her. We went when Aliya was a baby – about 2 months old, and again when Adlani was a baby (those trips were obviously for Ben and I), so at least we failed all 3 of them because I’m sure none of them remember their previous experiences at Disney. I neglected to tell them that I did not go to any of the Disney parks until I was 19, which was also my first time on a plane! Or that my first time out of the country (except Canada) was at age 28.
Thanks Grammy and Poppy!
It looks like Norah was driving, Ben was backseat driving, and Adlani wasn’t enjoying the Magic Carpet ride.
Adlani was seriously puzzled when he couldn’t pull the sword out. I told him he obviously wasn’t pure of heart. I’m waiting for him to confess to some egregious sin now that the secret is out.
The official $20 photo from Splash Mountain is below, but check out this one from the very top of the drop. I’m fearful of Norah’s lack of fear…
Aliya likes to experiment with photography, and she took this photo of the carousel horses at night.
Adlani got tired and went home with Grammy and Poppy, while we partied on…
It was a great (and exhausting) day!
