A few Disney World Pictures!

Well, I had a little time tonight with Ali sleeping and thought I would go ahead and upload some pictures from our fun Disney World trip! We have a million, so this is just a taste of a few of the things we did. We had a great time and I have now been at the beach for two days and think that I am almost fully recovered (and rested!). Uncle Sig and Frances left this evening to head back to Athens b/c Frances is in summer school (and Sig is just hanging out up there in our condo there until he starts his job at KPMG in a couple of weeks) but luckily my parents got here this morning from one of Dad's Legislative conferences in Amelia Island so it is so nice to have all of the extra help around when I feel completely worn out! (And Ryan has been great!) It is going to be a nice and relaxing week - I hope it does not continue to go by as fast as it already has been! Anyway, on to more interesting things - the pictures!

Our first day at Disney World! So excited to be there - we headed straight to the pool (after lunch). Here are a few pictures of our little munchkin playing at the pool! It felt so good b/c Orlando is hot, hot, hot! Could I be any cuter?

A full belly after lunch!
A view of our hotel from our spot at the pool.
Mama and her little princesses.
The light parade on the lake our first night...

A shot of tired Ali (way past her bedtime!) and her daddy watching the water parade from our hotel's lake deck. Our first sighting of the castle on our boatride into the park!
Ali's first time seeing Mickey/Minnie and friends in person! She was so excited!
Family self portrait on Peter Pan's Flight
Day 1 we had lunch at the Crystal Palace with Tigger and Pooh and friends. Here is a picture of Uncle Sig and Frances with Eeyore! It was a fun (and delicious!) lunch.

So excited to meet my friends Tigger and Pooh! (and gang) Ali got all of her new friends to sign her autograph book! She would be slightly unsure of them as they approached - so, to make the transition, she would quickly hand them her book and say "Pooh, book!" and by the end of lunch, she was in love with all of them! (and blew them lots of kisses!)
On the Tomorrowland Transit Authority (People Mover) - Ali loved waving to all of the people walking around and saying "Hello!". Here is a picture of her sharing the love to both sides of the ride.
Ali and her daddy on the teacups - not so sure about this!
It was a FULL first day!! Ali passed out on the boat ride back to the hotel and was out for the night! (and daddy put her to bed with her "1st visit" pin on and her shoes!)

Checking out the "bubbles" in the hotel lobby Modeling for the camera on a little deck at our hotel..... Ali loved looking at all of the ducks (from afar - not so happy when they got close!), "Nemos" (not sure how she even knows about Nemo, the fish!), bunnies, etc at the Wilderness Lodge
Here are some pictures from Ali's favorite part of the whole park....Pooh's playground. Ali absolutely loved it! We had tried all of the rides and she was such a good sport - but, the smile on her face when she saw this place was irreplaceable! Ali loves water - especially when it is 100 degrees outside! :) When Ali and I found this little treasure (while daddy was riding Thunder mountain), I realized that this is what it's all about.....
Daddy made it to join in the fun!
Here comes the water!

Making friends in the sprinklers Venturing through one of Pooh's honey jar tunnels...

Got our balloon....it's time to go! (can you tell how tired Ali is?? It was a non-stop trip! But, so much fun!)
