Day two started out with checking out of our hotel and riding the monorail over to 

MAGIC KINGDOM

So excited to visit there again, truly it is magical...it is so fun even for this big kid

 Here we go!

The whole gang again [Ben really was happy!]

First stop The Crystal Palace for the Pooh and friends Character breakfast

This was so fun.  Ben LOVED all the characters, gave them huge bear hugs and the food was outstanding!  like 3 or maybe 4 ;-) plates worth! hehe  

Can you tell by his smile how excited he was!

Tiger was insistent on taking a pic with everyone even me!! haha

He also said call me...I said I would ask my husband ;-) 

Check out this food! Deep fried cinnamon sugared french toast...yes please!

The entrance had each character made out of dried roses...lots of detail

Time for a ride.  The Little Mermaid...

someone LOVES the little mermaid and was mesmerized by it!

cant get enough of main street

The classic Dumbo ride

Belles interactive show.  

Ben was spoon and fork

Ben was so shy around Belle..aka hands in the pocket :)

Long day required a treat!

Day one started out by heading to our Disney hotel, checking in and going straight to animal kingdom

we did a few rides, ate cotton candy and walked around

saw a bit of the parade

rode to monorail back to our hotel

Day one of Disney adventure was complete!

we were exhausted but so worth it!!

Movie theater popcorn

Is really hard to beat. And actually next day movie theather popcorn is probably the best of all! ;) 

Friday night I got some movie theather popcorn and it was great!!! Two thumbs up!

Now that I have covered that the popcorn was outstanding. 

So was the movie: Thd Book Thief

(Yes I read the book. And yes I think the book was better, like usually when you compare books to movies...so much more detail in books)

BUT I thought this movie did a good job following along with the book. The ending was a tad different but still good.  

I really liked all the personalities that they chose to play the characters especially papa! 

I liked being able to actually see the town and the fashion of that time. Really brought the book to life. 

Even if you haven't read the book I am sure you will enjoy the movie (at least J did)

So two thumbs up all around!

Classicjoketuesday

Joke joke joke

 What did the baby corn say to the mama corn?

 "Where's popcorn?" 

How do bees get to school?

On a school buzz

And one to make a joke about this never end WINTER...

Where do the snowflakes dance???

At the snow ball

Time to laugh. Happy Tuesday! 

What have you read lately?

Well thanks for asking!

There is the answer. Both finished today. 

1.  The Book Thief. Was recommend by a friend. It was good read ...it took less than two weeks...if that helps describe. It is historical fiction. Not my usual genre but I enjoyed it. It was about a girl in Nazi Germany and her life and experiences. That is all I am telling as not to spoil anything. 

It is also a movie and I am looking forward to that! 

2. Satisfied. The book our pastor wrote and what we are using in our small group. This was also very good. Eye opening and thought provoking. Lots of practical info and challenging at the same time. 

If you are up for a new read I would recommend both! 

Happy reading! 

5 week. 6 days

Left.... Haha. Day one of plant babysitting. 

The parents are off to Florida and my moms babies are left in my hands. 

This time around only one was transported to work. The rest stayed home...I have a watering schedule and a how to. 

Feel a little more positive about this round of babysitting. 

Check out the plant that traveled to work. She needs water every other day....

So I will water tomorrow :)

Wish me luck! I think I can. I think I can.
