A very Happy Birthday

Sarah and I behind Cinderella's Castle

Cinderella and her Prince

Sarah's birthday was spent at Disney World yesterday, and it was a great success! We all had lots of fun, even though the temperature was high, around 37 C.

We made sure to get there when they opened at 9 AM, and we spent 11 hours walking around and having fun. We were all so tired when we finally got in the car to go home. Sarah declared that she was not at all tired, and she was going to play when she got home. 5 minutes later she was snoring away, sleeping with her mouth wide open. She didn't even flinch when I carried her inside to her bed, she was out!

I can feel all that walking today, I am sore and still a bit tired. I think the heat helps wring all the energy out of you for sure.

The day was made extra special by having lunch at one of Disney's reservations only restaurants, The Crystal Palace. We got to dine with Winnie the Pooh and his friends, and she even got a birthday card signed by them all, plus lots of birthday hugs. She was very excited about getting a special pin to wear throughout the day that declared that it was her birthday, and people kept wishing her a happy birthday all day, she felt very special.

The hardest part came at the end when I told her she could pick any toy she wanted at the big toy store on Main Street. She was almost crying because she could not make up her mind, but I think she was just very tired too. She did however come home with a remote control monorail, like the one they have at Disney World (aunt Lotte, that is one of those rail cars you like so much!).

All in all we had a great day, just hanging out the three of us and having fun.

Sarah is playing at the neighbors' now, and later we are going to the big mall in Sarasota to pick up a few things at Victoria's Secret and The Body Shop, and then we are going to have an early Mother's Day dinner with Ken at 4:30 PM. (We have our Mother's Day here in the US the second Sunday in May).

Hope you are all having a great weekend too!
