One of my biggest fears came true last Thursday when Kaylin woke up with a runny nose, we were going on a much anticipated trip to Disney World complete with a stay in a cabin at Ft Wilderness in just two days!  The runny nose progressed into a snotty nose and a fever.  I worked from home on Friday to keep an eye on her and typical of Kaylin even with a mid grade fever she was a wild child.  We decided that we'd chance her feeling even better on Saturday and we went ahead with the trip as planned.

I didn't realize how much I liked Disney until I had a daughter, I'm not sure Steve agrees 100% but at least he goes along with his girls.  Being at Disney just makes me happy, I mean how can you not smile when you're at the house of the mouse?  This trip was special not only because Kaylin's grandma and granddad Armstrong joined us but because we were spending the weekend there and at a Disney resort!  We booked a cabin at Ft Wilderness, it was a cozy little cabin with barely enough space for the 5 of us but it was perfect.  Most of us even slept in both days!  The grounds are huge an there is a ton of stuff to do.  Kaylin and Steve went horseback riding, lots of swimming (Kaylin is getting to be such a fish!)  Hulahooping, water slides, camp-fire singsongs, I could go on and on!  We were grateful that granddad booked a golf cart, although there is a bus that circles the resort.  Sunday, Kaylin woke up feeling better and the fever was gone so we decided to head to the Magic Kingdom for a few hours.  It amazes me how much Kaylin loves all of the Disney characters, she's even getting into the princesses (yay!  I may have my little girl after all!)  We met and hugged quite a few and she was just thrilled as can be.  Steve and I were thrilled that with grandma and granddad with we didn't have to take Kaylin on the dizzying teacups!

A wonderful labor day weekend overall.  Kaylin is still fighting a bit of a cough and congestion as is Steve.  He caught her bug just as the weekend ended, kid germs are evil!

Enjoy the pics!





She was really concerned that Rapunzel wasn't there and asked Cinderella if Rapunzel was behind the curtain!




                                                       
After saying hi to Mickey and Minnie, she wanted to see Pluto.  Just a year ago, she was so frightened by characters!


It made me dizzy just watching them!


She had to have gone down this waterslide over 100 times.  Literally.
Steve and I sat for over 45 minutes watching her go up and down.


                                                               My heart, my world.


Until next time....
