In the House of Mouse

In the House of Mouse
Photo-A-Day #1255

Today I went to Disney with Allison and Eva and our great friend Maureen. Mo has gone above and beyond the status of good friend to that of a great one. She gave up her own time to take care of Eva for 3 straight days and then went to Disney with us and helped us out on Eva’s first trip to the House of Mouse.

We had so much fun and Eva was an absolute trooper. She took a 45 minute power nap and went straight out till 9:00pm. I feel bad that her sleep schedule has been pretty off this weekend but she has weathered it very well. Eva has now been to Disney despite my proclamation that my children weren’t going to go till they were 5 because there would be nothing there for them till they were old enough to understand.

Boy was I wrong. Eva loved the place. She was rapt with attention on such rides as Pirates of the Caribbean, It’s A Small World (2nd time around, she slept through it the 1st time) and also at shows like Monsters Inc, Country Bear Jamboree, Mickey’s Philharmagic and The Enchanted Tiki Room. She took everything in. Eva even met Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Marry Poppins and Jiminy Cricket. We waited in line for Winnie the Pooh but it was at the time when Eva needed to eat dinner. So we went to dinner instead.

I am so glad that Mo was with us, that certainly made the day better all around. After 3 days of parties, conferences and mayhem, well Allison and I were a bit tired. Having Mo with us to keep us on the track of having a good time and enjoying every moment with Eva was what made the whole day very special for us. I have a few photos that I posted to Florida September 2008 set on Flickr. I have a ton of photos that need descriptions and tags, getting to that asap.
