Day 4 {re-living vacation}

We spent Day 4 at Hollywood Studios...

meeting more characters and having lots of fun!!

Alivia doesn't watch very much television but she does occationally watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

We were able to go to a "live" version of the show. The puppets and interactive set were super fun!

We sat front row....Alivia LOVED LOVED LOVED this!

She danced, talked and yelled with excitement the whole show.

Taking in every minute!

For lunch we ate at Play 'n Dine where you eat and mingle

with the characters from Playhouse Disney.

Alivia and June from Little Einsteins.

Handy Manny!!

Alivia talking with Little Einsteins Leo.

After lunch we went to play in the Honey I Shrunk the Kids mock set.

Slides are a favorite!

This was a BIG slide...

didn't really know how big until Alivia went flying down...

thanks to Holly for catching her!!

Not real happy I made her take a time out for a pic.

Napping...this is how we roll when we are away from a bed!

Lots of baby wearing!

Heading on to Pixar Studios.

Getting in line for the Toy Story ride!

(note the 100 minute wait...luckily it was only about 40 minutes!)

Mr. Potato Head entertained us during our wait.

Hats off to Hollywood Studios! We had a blast!

Actually so much fun, Alivia didn't want to leave!

Up next Day 5...last and final...a little Downtown Disney and then back home we go.

The moms took the 4 kids to the pool in the morning while the dads headed to Cape Canaveral and Coco Beach. When they returned, Jamie, Holly and I headed to the outlet mall for a little shopping. I had a little birthday money I specifically set aside for a new Coach purse. I LOVE the Coach outlet...such great steals!! I was even able to compliment my new beauty with a wallet! I can't decided if it is a good or bad thing that we don't have an outlet mall in Omaha.

After shopping, we all headed out to a fun Greek restaurant for dinner and entertainment. They throw cocktail napkins so they fan out in the air while a belly dancer performs.

Alivia was mesmerized.

She just stood there and watched so attentively.

After dinner we went the the Wonderworks Museum.

This was a little wierd from an architect's perspective. Our education is based on designing a building to stand upright. I'd have to put all those years of education aside to think through designing this museum.

Even the interior is upside down.

Standing on a deck that represents the Titanic 85 minutes after impact.

Thinking about taking a nap in a space ship.

How do you turn the lights off???

Alivia is out of here....

Day 4 we are off to Hollywood Studios!

Day 2...a little video {re-living vacation}

Darren caught a little of the kids dancing during the Celebrations Parade. Alivia is toward the back taking it all in until Jesse comes over and gets her going!! Then they made us move and she was less than thrilled I picked her up.
