Disney World, Day 2: Magic Kingdom

Day 2 of our Disney Trip began a little different than we had imagined. After going to investigate why our early riser Emma was not yet awake, we were greeted with a bit of "surprise" and a 102 temperature. Sick as a dog, and hotter than a summer in Orlando, she begged and pleaded with us to let her go to Magic Kingdom. So, we brought extra Motrin & Tylenol with us, loaded her and the rest of the kiddo's up and decided to try it. Although she wasn't quite herself, she did have a lot of fun. What kid wouldn't have fun in Disney World? I mean, it is after all the happiest place on earth.

Taking the ferry over to Magic Kingdom

Happy and comfortable in our stroller.. one of about 1000 this day.
We have a nice red double stoller, but Mom just HAD to have one like Jon & Kate did.
(If you have heard or seen the show Jon & Kate Plus Eight.. that is Mom's favorite show. A few months ago they did an episode where they took all eight kids to Disney World, and they rented the above blue strollers. So, my mother for some reason decided she needed to be just like them and get the girls a stroller too. I did miss our red stroller.. looking for that blue one in a sea of blue strollers was a bit crazy.)

One of the best sights in the world-- it's like entering Paradise for every child.. and me!

Our first task after entering the park was to get Asher his very own set of Mickey ears.
Each of the younger kids have their own set, so we had to get Asher some too!
Actually, scratch that.. everyone except Dad and me own a pair. I refuse to.

Now that's a large crowd!

The only three that would pose..

A little "loopy" after riding the Teacups!
Asher & Dad.. finally on the long-awaited ride!
Asher LOVES cars.. so when he found out there was a car ride, he was there.
He was so excited and could not believe he had to wait in such a long line. But he stood there patiently and eagerly waited for his turn to drive!
Emma and I were partners again like last year..
Hmm.. I thought they said "No Bumping!"
I think Asher is kinda upset that we couldn't go again!

But, he was alright.. he LOVED the ride and asked if we could go on again.
(I would have let him, but the line was wayy too long)

And as the sun was setting..

Well, as the sun went down and it got cooler, Emma kept getting hotter and more lethargic. It was evident we needed to get her back to the room and get some antibiotics into her fast. So, while Dad, Elena & Asher drove to our local pharmacy, Mom and I took the rest of the kids back to the cabin. Just what we needed during our vacation.. someone to get sick!
