Molloy Family Chronicles: May 2009

Singing in Disney World

Here she is being sooo cute! You will hear me asking her what she did in Disney World today and I finally figured out that she is saying "went on small world"..

Disney World - The first day - straight to Magic Kingdom!

We are back and had a wonderful week in Disney World thanks to Gramamma and Grampie!! There are LOTS of pictures - beware! A few things to take note of:

1. It was about 90 degrees and HUMID each day and it rained heavily most evenings so you will definitely notice some pictures where we look hot :)

2. It is nearly impossible to get a good picture of a 1 year-old (and yes - I can still say that for a couple more weeks)!

3. You will notice that in nearly all pictures, Kaitlyn is doing some form of eating whether its snacks or meal time. This was very important in keeping her calm! I guess I'll put it this way.. she grew to be picky about the flavor of sucker she was getting...

4. We had a BLAST with the Molloy's and can't wait to go back to Disney World!

Getting settled in on the airplane

First night - dinner in Italy at Epcot. Colleen insisted we take a picture of the "aftermath" :)

Checking out the view from our balcony which was awesome! We watched Epcot's fireworks from here each night

Playing in the blinds in our room..

The party then moved to the Concierge balcony - yes we were on the top floor of the Yacht Club where they offered complimentary food, beverages (including beer, wine, after dinner drinks, and decaf lattes for mommy)!

MJ and Dylan were trying to teach me how to jump. I am still trying to figure out how to get both feet off the ground at the same time!

First full day - getting ready to go to Magic Kingdom on all the rides!!!!!

First up..Small World. I will be singing this song for the next 2 years

its a small world after all

its a small small world.....

The line was too long to go on the dumbo ride so this would have to do. even so, Kaitlyn kept talking about the dumbo ride the rest of the trip! what an impression!

waiting in line for the teacups!

If I had to pick one picture to frame from the whole trip, this would be it. She LOVED the TEACUPS ride!!!!!

Visiting Minnie's house in Toon Town..

Taking the train through the Magic Kingdom

Riding in honeypots on Winnie the pooh

First sighting of Donald and Goofy!

and Daisy....too late :)

More Magic Kingdom and Lunch at Cinderella's Castle

Big news!! Kaitlyn refused to sleep in the hotel crib that was provided so she ended up sleeping in the "big girl bed/aka mommy and daddy's kinger"...This left one adult on the couch each night (usually it was Jim although by the end of the week, I put Jim on the bed so I could get a full night's sleep!) because she literally takes up the whole bed - I don't know how!? Now that we are home, she is refusing to sleep in her crib and has officially moved into her big girl room!

Good thing Mommy got this $10 mickey mouse balloon the first day! It lasted the whole week and provided endless entertainment!

The whole clan before dinner at our hotel, the Yacht Club, on the second night! And yes..Aunt Mary is handling Kaitlyn. Everyone was so helpful with Kaitlyn on the trip!
