Dinosaur Valley Park

Dinosaur Valley Park was absolutely beautiful.  The dinosaur tracks were comical, but the scenery and hiking was amazing.  The girls had a great time running and playing in the water.   

Ryan, Gma, and the girls

 

 Emery was hard to get out of the water

Fossil Rim

 Gma and Addison had a blast celebrating Addisons 4th Birthday at Fossil Rim.

I didn't have many pictures of Emmy bc we spent most of our time trying to keep her from jumping out of the truck.  Emery really enjoyed seeing and feeding the animals.  She was ready to get right down there with them.

Gma, Gdad, Addison, Emery and myself rode in the back of Ryans truck while Ryan and Mimi took the honor of driving us through the park.  It was a beautiful day and a good time had by all.

Dunny, the Quaterhorse

 Addison got to ride Dunny, my friends horse.  He proved himself to be a gentle giant and Addison found her new love.  Her sweet Salsa "moved away" to live with his mom in Heaven a couple months ago and she was heartbroken.  I have high hopes that she will love Dunny as much as she loved Salsa.

 

Emery playing in the barn.  Emery was very nervous close to the horses and was unwilling to pet them.   

Addison and Parker playing while Jessica took care of the horses.  Although I am a veterinarian, I am little to no help when it comes to the horses.  In fact, it takes everything in me to allow my little girl to stand near one :)

Addison helped Jessica brush Dunny

Spring Break Park Days

Emery proving she can do anything Addison does 

Addison likes to dress herself and her current favorite outfits include any dress with cowgirl boots or high heels

 The girls love to swing

We were blessed with amazing weather this spring break which allowed for several park trips.  Emery likes going to the very top of the largest play set so I get the honor of going as well.  Her we go again :)

After Disney Travels

Our bus trip to the Airport after Disney.  We were all very exhausted.  The girls stayed awake for the entire plane ride and Ryan did most of the time :)  But they slept from 3p that Saturday until the next day.  Emery slept until 8:30a the next day and below is a picture of Addison when I woke up for work at 5am.  She got out of bed at 4am wanting breakfast and to play with her new Disney toys.  Addison describes her Disney trip as "the best trip ever" 

Day 2 and 4 at Disney-Magic Kingdom

On Feb 27, Addison, Summer, and Sarah went to the Bippidi Bopiddi Boutique to get their princess make over in time for our lunch with the princesses at Cinderellas Castle.  Addison picked her hair style, finger nail color, make up colors, and accessory color.  Addison and Summer pick a bun and Sarah picked some pink hair extensions-they were absolutely adorable!!!

Princess Addison was very pleased with her hair and make up

Our princesses.  Addison wore her pink high heels all over magic Kingdom.  We packed her tennis shoes in which she declined all day long despite the huge blister on her baby toe.  No complaints on them being uncomfortable until bed time when we had to tape her toe on with a band-aid :)

Princess Jasmine

 Ready for Magic Kingdom

The family with Cinderella

Since we spent several hours tracking down all of the princesses for the autograph and photo, I felt it was necessary to document our encounters :)   Snow White

Birthday girl Addison with Princess Aurora

Princess Aerial

Happy 4th Birthday Addison!!!

Periwinkle (this is Tinkerbells sister for all those who are not up to speed with the Disney fairies).  We waited in a 1 hour line to meet this fairy and her sister 

 Tinkerbell

This was actually at Hollywood Studios.  Rusty, Sarah, Addison, Emery, Ryan and I went to lunch at the Disney Jr, meet the characters buffet.......for a small fortune.  While we were eating we were able to meet Jake, June, Agent Oso, and another character that I don't know :)  Emery was not so fond of the characters, she much preferred the princesses.

 Rapunzel

Addison and Aurora-take 2

 Addison and Cinderella-take 2.  Believe it or not when you ask Addison about her favorite part of Disney World, it was hanging out with the Princesses.  But she also got the opportunity to try her first and second roller coaster.  She liked the roller coaster except when they "fell"  :) 

 Trying to get all of the girls with Cinderella

 Addison and Merida from Brave

 Addison and her daddy riding Dumbo.  Unfortunately Emmy was taking her daily nap in the stroller when we were able to ride one so she had to sit it out

 Princess Belle

Princess Tiana and her prince-not sure his name, but he is a frog for most of the movie

 Our princesses before their make over

Addison and her daddy on the bus trip to the Airport. Addison was so excited about the trip to Disney World.  When we landed the plane in Florida, Addison said very loudly when she looked out the window, "What, we are back at the airport?  But I wanted to go to Disney World"  Everyone on the plane was laughing.  She is such a cutie :)
