I am so exhausted. Am I really supposed to be this exhausted on vacation? I guess it's inevitable when you have three little ones who don't stop needing you just because you go on "vacation". Actually, we have had a great time, I am just extremely tired today because of our day at Disneyworld yesterday. It was good, but the two and a half hours of pouring rain sure did make it challenging. The rain started as we were standing in line to meet Aerial. We never made it to the princess, but instead we got absolutely soaked. So soaked (as if we had just stepped out of the shower--ALL of us) that we actually went into one of the gift shops, picked out three dry (expensive, but dry) shirts for the kids and changed them right there in the middle of the store. FUNNY STORY: We tore the tags off and started putting them on the kids, and Ashlyn was just watching very solemnly. Then she quietly said, "Mommy, why are you stealing?" Little did she know that we had talked to the nearby clerk and had gotten an OK for using the shirts in advance.
Anyway, after the rain cleared (the first time), we were fine, and the kids had a fun day, but of course were absolutely exhausted by the end. But hey, it's Disneyworld. Gotta get your money's worth. :) They really did have fun, and I was surprised at how much we actually got to do considering that we stayed with a group of 24 people.
So, even though we didn't get to "meet" Aerial, Emily was okay with just seeing her in the parade. Jake loved the rides and 3-D movie experience, and Ashlyn was tall enough this year to ride the big roller coasters, including Space Mountain and Splash Mountain, of which she remarked, "that freaked my chest out!!" (after going down the big hill).
So we did the Magic Kingdom, and today we are hoping to relax and enjoy our last day at the beach.

So glad you had a good time at Disney World. Last year we went with 21 people - that is quite the challenge isn't it? Have a great day!
