We took the kids to Disney World last week. That experience in and of itself is worth about 37 posts, but I won't bore you with all the details. :) I'll just talk about one of my favorite memories: watching "Cinderella" in the park at the resort. We've never watched a movie outside, and it was a unique and wonderful experience.
When we got to the resort, they gave us a schedule of lots of activities they do there like a daily Mardi GRAS parade at the pool for the kids (Anna participated in it one day. It was too cute.), campfires at night, pool games, etc. The thing that I was most excited about was the nightly movie. I looked at the list, and it worked out perfectly that the night they were showing "Cinderella" also happened to be the day we were going to Hollywood Studios. I knew we'd be finished at that park early, so I was excited that we would be able to do the movie too. We grabbed dinner at the resort, bathed the kids, got them in their PJs and headed to the green. They had a giant, inflatable screen set up and warmed up pool towels for us to lay on and snuggle under. Jeremy went to the resort restaurant and got us some popcorn, so we were all set. There were lots of families out too, so it was fun!
Of course, Alex didn't last longer than about 30 minutes, so Jeremy took him back to the room while Anna and I stayed. Now, Anna doesn't usually sit still during movies, but she was as still as a stone during this one. And it was wonderful. We snuggled and ate popcorn and just enjoyed being outside at night. I think we are definitely going to have to do that again!
