That's a Wrap

First and Fourth Grade are officially in the books! 




Summer Up Ahead

Although May is rather short in school days, it has so much jam packed into it. Phew! We feel like we are running a race and have almost made it to the finish line.

Recital

Tears streamed down my face as she stepped on the stage. I could not help the pride that was spilling over. This same little girl would have never had the courage to do this just one year ago. She danced with confidence and grace. She knew every step.

We realized this was our first event where we were all gathered for Maeve. She made us all so proud. Looks like we may have many more recitals in our future.

Spring Break Disney Style

A whole week at Disney is what we ordered for our spring break treat. And what a treat it was! We had taken C&M two other times. Both of those times were quick visits. This time we did the full shabang! We arrived at Pop Century on Saturday. We immediately checked out the resort and these two had to hop in the pool. 


We tackled Epcot on Sunday. Cam and Maeve had never been here. We loved Turtle Talk and the the fireworks show that night. We will have to go back to do the countries better. 


Monday we went to Animal Kingdom. We did everything there thanks to our fast passes. We even got prime searing at the Lion King show with Tony leading theElephant Tribe. 

The classic Magic Kingdom was on Tuesday. There's so much to do there! We wanted to do the classics with Moo and Doo- Small World, Dumbo, Teacups, and Wheel of progress. We also added a new favorite- The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train! 

On Wednesday, we rested. We needed a rest day.
Thursday was our fullest day as we spent the entire day at Hollywood Studios. We got there when it opened and left after its Fantasmic show. It was another park that Cam and Maeve had never been to. We all conquered the Tower of Terror and the Rockin' Roller Coaster. We also saw the storm troopers and got to sing along with Anna and Elsa. It was a big day for all of us! 
We finished off our week by spending Friday back at the Magic Kingdom. We were able to do just about everything with an extra day there- Haunted Mansion, carpet ride, Space Mountain, and even Monster, Inc. Laugh out loud. It was a laid back day. We left feeling like we made the most of our time at Disney.

Now, when can we go back?
