Ooh La La.......Fireworks!!! 
Mae's thoughts about the fireworks.......she did so great all day.......she was a happy girl most of the day despite only getting two short naps
All bundled up and ready for fireworks (Ella is in the stroller......you just can't see her in this handy dandy self-made photo!)
Mickey and Minnie in front of Cinderella's Castle......the castle changes colors at night......nice!
Niko and Meemaw watching the parade......it was so sweet watching our boy wave to all of the characters going by 
Trying to get Mae to nap......she did give up the fight on the train ride

My Mae Mouse in her mouse ears......the beautiful part was that she left her ears on for a long time!!! Cinderella's Castle is in the background.
On Wednesday, the troops were feeling much better so we pulled ourselves together and headed to Magic Kingdom. We really did have a magical day. The weather started out chilly and rainy but turned into a beautiful day. We rode as many rides as we could squeeze in, we saw several really great shows, and we ended the day by watching the fireworks over Cinderella's Castle. We had the best day.
Some fun surprises of the day......Mae loved the pirates in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Ella covered her ears and sometimes closed her eyes because she thought they were a little scary but Mae just waved and smiled at all of them......too cute! Also, I have now discovered my roller coaster buddy. Ella and Nicholas were going to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad......a medium-sized roller coaster that goes whipping around and through and over and under a mountain........we got to the point of climbing into our seats and Niko got frightened and backed out......so Ella and I rode by ourselves. She had a blast and as soon as it was over, she asked to ride again......so we did!! We were also surprised that Ella had no interest in waiting in line to meet the princesses and get her picture taken......don't know if she just didn't want to get that close to the "real" princesses or if she didn't want to wait in line. It saved us a lot of time not having to wait for princesses all day!
