We had a wonderful 2 days at the Magic Kingdom with Lizzie, Alex, Becca and Nicholas...and of course, their parents, Mike and Jenna. Weather was perfect and the crowds were impressive. We noticed that Disney did not provide an abundance of benches for waiting and resting. Unless of course, you wanted to visit an eating establishment. But we managed to put in long days and evenings with a big smile on our faces and even bought a multiple day pass so we can return anytime. Here is a picture of Lizzie and Becca sharing a bench with Walt and Mickey on Main Street. 
Paul , Nicholas, Alex and part of Jenna on Main Street. I am not really pleased with the pictures taken but I think you get the idea. Mike took zillions of pics and I will hopefully post some of his at a later date.
Lizzie looked adorable in her beautiful and cute costumes . Jenna made and designed them all and they were even mentioned in Lizzie's critique. Most of the girls wear ice skating type costumes and they are VERY expensive....in the hundreds of dollars. Becca was in charge of hair and make up and getting Lizzie to the judging on time. Jenna was in charge of worrying. Mike was the photographer and Nick and Alex enjoyed being surrounded by so much beauty. As grandparents, we were adept at applause, cheers and hugs.

This picture gives you an idea of the venue. Each girl (and a few guys) did their presentation in front of a judge in this large auditorium. Lizzie insists it was fun and not nerve wracking.
This is Lizzie during one of her modeling competitions. She also did marching and a twirling presentation. It was a wonderful experience for her in developing poise and concentration and we're glad she wasn't stressed by it.
We managed to stand in quite a few lines in order to enjoy the various shows. We had to make the required stop by "It's A Small World" ..... and yes, the song stayed with us the rest of the day. 
We stopped by to watch the Disney Extravaganza at the castle. The castle changes colors throughout the presentation. A firework display is the finale. 
It really is a magical place, for any age.
Paul is off to Miami for a week of work. I will fly up to Pa. on Wed and he will arrive on Fri. We will clean and empty the house and then complete the papers for the closing.
Today I played my first round in the Inner Circle Ladies Golf. Despite brief showers , bright sun and fierce winds, I was fairly pleased with my game. And I met 3 nice neighbors.
