Spontaneous trip to Orlando, Florida

This past Friday Jacob got off at 9:00 in the morning (that never happens) so we decided to take advantage of the extra long weekend and head to Orlando to go to the beautiful

Orlando, Florida Temple.

Just a side note...There we met someone from the surrounding stake who had a great contact for jobs. We will see where that takes us in the next few months :)

While driving to Orlando we saw a plethra of signs advertising cheap tickets to Disney World, so we thought we would check it out. After a goose chase of trying to find these tickets, we were finally told that there are no such tickets. The next morning, Jacob worked really hard at getting us into Disney World, and a few attempts later we were able to get in with a great deal. Thanks Jacob!

I should mention here that Addison was super excited to see the princesses (or her friends as she calls them) and to go inside Cinderella's castle. When she found out we had tickets she started jabbering in the back about how she was going to shake all of their hands and tell them nice to meet you. Then she was going to borrow Belle's car and drive it around, and then fix all of them dinner. She sure knows how to make me smile :)

So here is our unplanned, very spontaneous adventure at Disney World. Addi with her favorite princess Sleeping Beauty

Addi and Cinderella

Addi and Belle

Addi and Snow White

Addi and a fairy (not sure which one)

Our first ride

It's A Small World After All

We loved it!

We rode on this one three times :) It was Addi's favorite

Come on Babe...you can do it!

Inside Cinderella's castle

The Moa outside Cinderella's castle

Addi and the beanstalk house

(We just checked this story out at the library a few days before our trip, so Addi was excited to see it and take a picture by it)

Trying on hats in the beanstalk house

Addi trying on a Pluto hat and helping her dolly (Kyla) try on a Goofy hat.

(If you will notice, Addi has Kyla in every picture...she takes her around 24/7. I love it!)

Addi wanted to take a picture of Kyla wearing this headband...I'd say she did a great job!

Addi trying on a princess crown.

Sweet girl!

Addi really wanted one of these balloons, but since we were trying to leave the park with only having to buy two bottles of water, we suggested to her that we take a picture by it and print it out for her to put on her wall at home. She liked the idea, and so here it is for all of you to enjoy as well :)

Feel free to print it out and put it on your wall too :)

The last thing we did before parting the Magical World of Disney was take a picture with the ones who started it all...

Mickey and Minnie Mouse

We had soooo much fun on our spontaneous trip. It made us feel like we were in college again :). It was so much fun to see Addi's face light up with all the excitement. We rode all the kiddy rides, including the carousel three times, met the princesses twice each and visited Cinderella's castle at least three times. We woulnd't have had it any other way!

As we were walking out of the park Addi could barely keep her eyes open.

Going...

Going...

Gone!

Dreaming of driving Belle's car I'm sure :)
