A GIRLS DAY AT DISNEY OVER SPRING BREAK!

Back at the end of March just before Hua Hua's surgery, we had Spring Break.  The boys went to Mobile to visit their grandparents and the girls stayed home with me!  We had a fun girls' week and one of our fun days was going to Epcot for the day!  I haven't had a chance to post the pics from that day until now! 

So, I love that the new blogger set up allows me to post larger pics, but I am SO IRRITATED that I cannot rearrange the order of the pics once I have uploaded them!! UGH!  I tried to drag them and only a couple would drag and then only so far and then some doubled up and wouldn't go farther.  WHY would this not be sophisticated enough to allow us to drag them into order??  Anyway, the pics I posted I had hoped to be in order of our day, but they are all over the place.  Fun anyway!

By the way,  Katie Grace Hua Hua is doing great since her surgery!!  She has been running and playing as if nothing happened.  She is still just a little tender in her chest if you lift her near there, so we are just careful, but otherwise, she has never mentioned any pain.  She has oxygen sats of 98 at her last check up!  She doesn't really care about her incision or mention very often unless it is just matter of fact.  She is doing very well.  Thank you for your prayers and thoughts!!  




1st we started with breakfast at Perkins before we went into Epcot!  Yummy!!!




Hua Hua's favorite friend??  Minnie Mouse!!!!  She was SO excited and we got extra special treatment!!!!  




Minnie Mouse made it clear to me (mom) that we were "good friends" ;-) !!  I work at Disney too.   She jumped up and down and ran over and hugged me and hugged Hua Hua and Christina and made a big scene!!  I know the people were thinking,  "what is that all  about??  Ha Ha!!!  I think Hua Hua was wondering why Minnie loved mama so much too!!



Kisses from Donald Duck!!  He isn't always a grump!  



Christina is certainly not too old to have pics with her favorites too!!  


We went to see the Chinese Acrobats in the China Pavilion!  We loved their show!




They were amazing!  They were a different group than years before.  Many of the guys were the same, but no more little girls.  I miss the little girls, but these women were fantastic.  



Time for a snack!!  Christina's choice!




Mom's Choice!



Sorry, back at breakfast!  (told you I couldn't rearrange the photos!)  She was SO excited about this balloon!  Kept it for weeks!  




Katie Grace's Choice!  



The girls with The Big Cheese!  



On the tram heading into Epcot!  (again with the out of order here, blah!)  She was so excited!!  





When you ride SpaceShip Earth  (the big silver ball that is the trademark ride for Epcot), you can program a story about yourself as the ride happens and at the end they show you in the story.  Here are the girls on that ride.  You can see me holding up Hua Hua!  




A beautiful time to visit Epcot.  The Flower and Garden Festival!!!  




Stopped to see one of my favorite shows at the UK Pavilion.  The World Showcase Players in King Arthur and The Holy Grail! That is Art, Sarah and Karl with the girls!  Very funny show!!!
