Surprise! We're going to Disney!

As we were driving down the mountain to head home from our Ga vacation Makayla asked, "I loved the mountains but when are we going to Disney?" My sister had promised her a trip if she did well her first few weeks of school. Once a year we try to have a "girls trip" to Disney.  So this weekend it was! We left right after school on a Friday afternoon and surprised the kids with a fun little get away for the weekend!
We stayed in one of our favorite hotels and had a relaxing weekend filled with overloads of fun! We all prefer Disney at night…less crowed, cooler temps, shorter lines, happier kids which equals a happier Mommy!

Relaxing!

Cooling off

Doing what he does best

these two love sitting on the Mickey Ears

Jackson and I waiting on dinner. Jackson LOVED watching the monorail go by. He would scream "LOOK" everytime it zoomed by.

Jackson is still a bit scared of the characters  

The girls on the tea cups

Jackson only made it until about 11:00 Makayla however partied it up until 1:00am! 

The next morning Gom treated us to breakfast with Mickey and his friends! Jackson and Makayla had a great time dancing and talking with the characters. Jackson actually liked them all except Pluto. I think he had just had enough!

Still a little unsure

Donald is actually his favorite!

He kept kissing Minnie

Hmmmm

then he LOST it! He was SCREAMING so poor Pluto kindly moved to the side to take a picture with Makayla! 

Dancing with Donald
And yes my kid has no shoes on in the restaurant…don't judge he's a 2nd child! 

Makayla wanted to take a picture of all of us

Saying goodbye to Mickey and to a wonderful weekend! 

What a great weekend with the girl! (and Jackson) Until next time! 

Girls day

Makayla's been begging for a GIRL ONLY day. Poor thing went from being the center of everyone's world to having a crazy boy around all the time! We did a little shopping, had lunch, and went for pedicures. It was a great day. I always seem to forget how fun Makayla is when it's just her and I. I really need to do this more often!
