John Caden was quite an amusing character himself at Disney--he was full of interesting actions and comments. Sometimes he made us laugh; other times he made us cry. In one moment of angst, I said under my breath to Tim (thinking that I was out of earshot of John Caden) that I didn't think we should have another family vacation until John Caden gets to an easier stage of life. Without missing a beat, John Caden whispered back to Tim, "I don't want to go on another vacation with her anyway." We laughed and said at least the feelings were mutual.
One of his most precious moments was when he saw Anna for the first time as she walked out of the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique--he melted our hearts with his mesmerized stare and his sweet words, "Anna...you look pretty."
At the Royal Table, we sat forever with him as he was determined to place every little Mickey Mouse sprinkle in a strategic spot on his cupcake. I don't think he's ever enjoyed a dessert so much as this one!
Besides the Thunder Mountain Roller coaster, his favorite "ride" were the escalators! Up and down and back up and back down he went.
I was amazed at how well he did with the fireworks--no hands over his ears! He smiled the entire time and kept saying, "I just can't believe how beautiful they are."
He, of course, was not very fond of all the picture taking and thus was not very cooperative in being photogenic.
At the start of the week he didn't want anything to do with the princesses, but after Belle called him her little "teacup" he quickly warmed up to them and decided he would like a few pictures with them.
He ended our week with having to be rescued by a lifeguard. Right after this video clip stops, he dupes the lifeguard into thinking that he's stuck in the current and can't make it over to the side so she blows her whistle and jumps in to save him. Oh, mercy!
When we returned home, he was reminiscing about Disney with Tim, and he told Tim, "Daddy, when I'm older, I'll take you to Disney...unless you're dead of course. But I hope you're not."

I just got all caught up on your Disney vacation- what an amazing treat! I cannot believe that 'first family of the day' thing- would love to hear how that came about- wow! And you have absolutely the most adorable children.
