Pete and Tanner: November 2011

I had been calling everyday for weeks trying to get a reservation for The Crystal Palace. Aside from the Princess restaurant Akershus, this was second on my list. The only reservation available was a horrible time that would mess up our schedule, so I stopped by to check if they could move me. It was lunch time, and they took us right then!!! I told the lady I could kiss her I was so happy! It was perfect timing that Alden and Ashton were able to go too.

Pooh and his friends are some of Reagan's favorites. We have read Pooh books before bed for months~ I expected her to run up and hug them like she did the princesses, but she got majorly shy and wanted me in the pictures too. I guess they were A LOT bigger in person than she expected ; )

The food was pretty good, all buffet style with some seriously good cinnamon pumpkin cheesecake.

We will for sure go back!

A Dream Come True Parade!

It's true what they say. You really do become a kid again when you're here. I can't describe the feeling, but watching the excitement on every single face surrounding you is enough to make anyone smile. They send such a positive message, and I'm so glad Reagan had this experience.

Of course we videoed for her, and now she lines up her princess dolls at home and says "they're all in the parade!" ; )

Shopping...

Headed for the Enchanted Tiki Room. One of my favorites as a kid.

It was so beautiful!

Reagan still won't say her "K's" and pronounces them as "T's"~ so when she says 'tiki' it sounds more like 'titty.' Ouch. We have all the songs on the video camera now, and guess what she walked around singing the whole trip?! "In the titty titty titty titty, titty room. In the titty titty titty titty, titty room! The birds all sing an duh duh duh, duh duh. In the titty titty titty, titty TITTY ROOM!"

Now THAT is embarrassing.

It sounds like we took her to a strip club.

Unsa Aba took her for Ice Peam. : )

We didn't get to ride Dumbo on the first day because the line was so long, but the Aladdin's Magic Carpet was hardly any line for the same ride?! Reagan LOVED the carpets... the pictures tell it.

Junior held the video camera out to the side to get her, and it's so funny to hear us on this ride. We sound like the goofiest parents getting all excited with her on this flying carpet. It's amazing how different life is when you can enjoy it with your kids. : )

She's the reason we're here!
