Disneyworld!

YAY for DisneyWorld! We just got back from our awesome vacation and we had a great time! It all kind of started out pretty shaky- and for a little while there- we weren't even sure whether or not we were even going to go...but we did and it was fantastic! We had a little accident on the plane ride over. Kennedy was coloring with colored pencils and McCarrey reached over to grab something off of the little tray. Well, Kenna thought that he was trying to take her colored pencils away and she screamed, "No! Mine!" and jerked the pencil away...and my eye happened to be right in the path of the pencil. It stabbed me right in the eye and gouged my eyelid. So at this point in time- I am in crazy pain and my eye is blood-red and I can't open it or see anything out of it. But- we flew all the way to Orlando and I am just thinking- "Get me off of this plane- and get me home!" It must have really been awful- because the paramedics were waiting for me when we landed in Florida and I spent most of the night in the hospital. The puncture hole was literally touching the border of the blue in my eye- and the Doctor said that if it had gotten me even a millimeter over I probably would have lost my sight. Scary! They gave me some drops and some painkillers, patched me up to look like a pirate-and released me. So at that point- I am really miserable and we are just planning on catching the next flight back to Utah. But! I was given a blessing and the next morning- my pain level was down considerably! I still couldn't open my eye all the way- and I looked like I had bloody, fake eye- but I was able to function. It literally was miraculous as far as I am concerned! I didn't get any infection from it, and I was able to stay so that my family could still have a great time together. I tell ya though- it'll be a while before I give colored pencils to a 2 year old again.

The Magic Kingdom was all decked out for Fall time and it was just magic! We went to a Halloween Party that they had after park hours and it was the FUNNEST night ever! They had a Halloween parade and fireworks and we were all dressed up in costume and they had trick or treating all throughout the theme park. They had fog machines going and characters EVERYWHERE and it was so fun to see Disney from a different perspective like that. I have been to Disney... I don't even know how many times and that Halloween party was the best yet.

Kenna loved all the rides,and we got big balloons and mickey ice creams- it was awesome. We stayed for a week and we got a WAY good deal on our package. All of our meals were prepaid and we could go anywhere we wanted to eat. We went to lots of fancy restaurants and lots of different character meals where they would come around to the different tables. Kennedy was kind of unsure at first with all of the characters but by the end of the week- she was asking to go and see them. She loved all of the characters, and the princesses and such. But her all time favorite day was when we went to Hollywood Studios and she got to meet the Little Einsteins. I had never even heard of them before she came along- but now we are official Little Einsteins experts and she was in awe of meeting them,and meeting Handy Manny. I found the whole thing absolutely delightful.This last picture is of my little princess with her Fairy Godmother. She wore this little dress for the Halloween party and when we ate at Cinderella's castle with all of the princesses. In this picture she is a little unsure of whether or not she wanted to smile for the camera- but I thought it was darling anyway. We had so much fun and we wish that we could have had more family come along to enjoy it with us. I love Disney- and the magic that it is for little kids. Kenna had the time of her life and that made it even more fun for us. I am thinking next year that Mexico sounds pretty awesome for a vacation... What do you think?
