Red Thread...

There is an ancient Chinese belief which states that there is an invisible red thread that connects each of us to all of the individuals who have been, currently are, and will in the future be important to us in our lives.

This red thread can stretch, twist, and bend… but will never break.

A Side Trip to the Magic Kingdom

As we were leaving Hollywood Studios, Katie had fallen asleep. We knew what she really needed was a good nap, but we knew she'd wake up as soon as we got on the bus. When Katie wakes up, she very rarely goes back to sleep. So Jennifer and I talked about what we should do…go back to the hotel and let Katie play, or go to the Magic Kingdom and look around a little more. We decided on the Magic Kingdom.

We decided that we wanted to go find Princess Jasmine since Katie still hadn't met her. On the way to find her, we were able to watch most of the afternoon parade as it passed in front of the castle. Even after the parade, Katie was still a little tired and not in her happiest of moods. However, we found something that put an instant smile on her face. On the way to see Jasmine, we passed The Hall of Presidents. We told Katie we'd stop and see the show on presidents, and she was thrilled. In addition to princesses, Katie gets pretty excited with presidents - especially George Washington. Her favorite dinner routine is to go in a circle and name all of the presidents in order, so she was very happy at the thought of a show with them.

After the president show, we got to Jasmine's area, but she wasn't around for pictures, so I took Katie on the ride that became her new favorite ride - The Magic Carpets. You could control the carpets to go up or down, and every time the carpets moved, Katie laughed and said, "It tickles my tummy!"

There were some tall camel statues next to the Magic Carpet ride. One faced the magic carpets, and one faced the walking pathway. Every here and there, the camels spit water. So, there was a chance that you'd get sprayed while you were on the ride or when you were walking. On the ride, people seemed to notice the spitting camel and expect the water. However, it was very funny to watch people walking on the path who unexpectedly got sprayed with water. When Katie saw the camel that spit on the walkway, she stopped to play in the water with lots of giggles.

After that, we headed back towards the carousel since Katie hadn't ridden it yet. When we got back to the castle, there was a show going on that involved a lot of princesses singing and dancing, so of course, we stopped to watch that show as well.

Then Katie rode the carousel with Jennifer, we all went on the Winnie the Pooh ride, and we went on the Small World ride. Once again, Katie was most happy to see the Hawaiian section with the dolls just like her doll at home.

I was so excited to see all of the presidents at the end of the show!

I was in the magic carpet way up high above Aunt Jennifer's head! I loved it!

After the ride, I decided to wait for the camel to spit on me. 

Here comes the spit! 

Who knew I'd like a camel spitting so much?

This was me waiting for the camel.

As we walked through the park, I was so excited to find Rapunzel's tower!

The carousel is one of my favorites! 

Aunt Jennifer is always nice to go with me. 

 Whoo-hoo! I love when it starts moving!

I got to see my mom as we passed by! 

I was excited to go on the Winnie the Pooh ride. It was a little different than the ride in Disneyland. 

 I loved watching the dolls just like mine in the Small World ride.

While we were at the Magic Kingdom, Uncle Jeff found a new hat for Ian! He looked handsome!
