Disney World Part II....The White Flag of Surrender

I just reread my first "Disney" post....wow. It was pretty negative. But accurate, since that's pretty much how I felt during the first few days of our trip! Now I want to focus more on the positives! They were:

1. Seeing my kids' faces! Oh, how those little eyes lit up when we saw Tinkerbell fly over the palace before the fireworks! And Abby, who watched Snow White like a hawk until she came over to meet us at dinner. Bella squealing with delight on the Kali River Rapids as we all got drenched!

2. Family! My husbands parents and his brother from Erwin (and wife Joy!) went with us. But a special treat was being able to see my brother in law who lives in Az and his family! We only see them a few times a year. It was so special getting to love on my niece and nephew, they are precious kiddos. Also, I got to spend some time with their mom, Jamie, who I dearly love... in spite of her tattoos ;-).

3. The rides! Like my husband (but to a lesser degree!) I have never outgrown my love of rides! My favorite was probably the Rockin' Rollercoaster, although Test Track and the Tower of Terror were also very fun.

So, after five days of Disney parks, we had to get up at 2:30 (A.M.!!!) to catch the Misery- um, Magic Express back to the airport for a 6:30 a.m. flight that was mercifully on time. We were in our house by 11:30 and we ALL went to bed.

And now for the very very worst part...When I went to unpack later that day, I discovered that my camera, which I had last used to take a picture of the girls on the airplane, was nowhere to be found. Thats right, folks. I lost my camera. And subsequently spent the rest of the weekend crying over my lost pictures. I adore my pictures of my baby girls, and oh, how it hurt to lose them!

We emailed the airline and called the airport to no avail. Most importantly, we prayed about it! And no, I haven't gotten my camera back. (yet.)
