Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Thomas Merton (1915 - 1968)

Last Day at the Magic Kingdom

When we went back to the Magic Kingdom on our last day, we were greeted by a sky writer as we took the tram from the parking lot to the transportation center.

 The kids agreed to ride the Monorail to the Magic Kingdom and we would ride the ferry back out in the evening.  Chloe inserted herself on Grandma Sharon's lap for the Monorail ride. 

When we got off the monorail, we could see the skywriter still at it, telling everyone that Jesus loves them.  :)

I was able to hand off my camera to one of the street photographers so we could get a family shot of us on Main Street and not pay $20 for the print later.  Score!

The kids were in a great mood and cooperated when I asked them to stand and smile.  They even gave hugs!

Chloe tried on a Goofy hat and wrapped his ears around her face.

We raced around the speedway and beat Owen and Todd (because we couldn't change lanes with a metal strip down the middle keeping our cars lined up and we were in the lead car).  It was a bumpy ride with Chloe steering.  Fortunately, I was able to control the gas!

Owen and I went to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party the night before during fireworks, but Chloe missed out.  She was thrilled to go this morning and picked the tea cup for the girls to ride in.

She helped spin the wheel in the middle that made the whole tea cup turn faster and faster.

Look at her hair flying!  We were spinning FAST!

Chloe!  You get down from there right now!

Todd and Owen split off to go to Fantasy Land while Chloe and I caught this marching band parade.   Papa Wenzel and Grandma Sharon had gone into the President's Hall to see their wax figures and watch a movie about the American Presidents.

Chloe wanted to ride the big Prince Charming carousel over and over.  And over again.  She just loved this ride and being able to pick out a horse that she thought would take her higher than mine.

She was happy to sport her new sunglasses that she bought with her money in front of Prince Charming's carousel.

One last look at Main Street and Cinderella's castle before we left the Magic Kingdom for the last time.

We didn't get out of there until after the lights started turning on.  Owen was on a hunt for Stitch dolls with Daddy at the time.  He had to get just one more!

We snapped a few family pictures.

And then it was dark and past time to head back to the house to make a late dinner.

This gorgeous sunset welcomed us as we took the ferry boat back to the transportation center.

A fitting way to end a long weekend spent putting continual smiles on our children's faces.  We could not have had a better time and hope our kids will always remember this vacation.  We had sooo.  Much.  Fun.
