Holy mickey mouse! Even with all of the torrential downpours, Disney still lived up to every expectation and we managed to have a complete blast! However, I think Olivia's on to this big charade at a ripe age of four. I was shocked when she turned to me and offered comfort as I pretended to be scared in the snow white haunted house ride, "Don't worry Papi, it's not real! They're all wearing costumes.....right, right?". However, as she came up on the latter part of her sentence, you could sense the uncertainty in her voice and was clearly hoping I would offer some sense of reassurance! But even still, it was a dark scary ride with mechanical witches and alligator looking water logs that snaped at you as you drove on by! I have a feeling it might be due to all of the scooby doo she watched at an early age?

At any rate, this trip served as a great first run through. I say "first run" because poor nico was not part of the festivities. I know, terrible, right? But we were piggy backing off of chris' work trip! It's not like it was a planned family trip or something! There were a lot of people there and there was a lot of alone time for me!! I mean it was mayhem with all of the kids going crazy and long lines! I mean it's disney for crying out loud and it's totally understandable we didn't take him, right? It rained a lot? ........ Alright fine little buddy, I'm sorry okay. We'll make another trip to get you there when you're a little older to perhaps recognize mickey or Buzz Lighyear. OR.......maybe I WILL just photoshop you in some of the pics like some of my coworkers suggested.....I mean you'll never know the difference! Mu-ha-ha-ha-ha!!

Here are some pics for everyone!
