Playin' at Disney with Jillibeth!

So Uncle Jerry brought his special girl, Jillibeth to Disney this past week. Jillibeth, 4 is his only granddaughter and is obviously the first on his list. So it was no suprise so see him and her traipsing around the park for 3 days (oh, yeah, he brought mom and wife along too). So the kids and I headed on a VERY cold day to hang out at Magic Kingdom with them. Of course all know my kids don't usually meet a stranger, and in spite of probably not remembering who anybody was, it did not stop them from hugging, climbing on, and punching (Jerry's belly was too much for Aidan to resist!). Unfortunately, Jillibeth did not appreciate this. Who were we to come between her Maw and Paw?? She wouldn't even speak to Maw when Maw and Shelby held hands in line! However, after about an hour, she warmed up to the little people. Her and Shelby got some autographs from some very special characters. By mid afternoon, as we're heading to a ride, Jillibeth looks around and asks, "where's Cutie Boy?" Cutie Boy, aka Garry, from then on became her best bud:) By about 5:30 their gang had to head out for dinner reservations. My goal was to head for the gate and home, but "just one more ride" had us at the park until it closed. In spite of the cold, we had a great day.

Jillibeth had not really warmed up to us yet!

Super Paw (see the pink cape?)!

Riding the train!

Garry heard me and slowed down to take a pic, Shelby was too busy to hear me!
Poor Unca Jerry braved the one long cold line (30 min) of the day with the kids, so Shelby could chauffeur him around the track while we adults (along with Bryce and Aidan) went for warmth and hot chocolate!


Shelby really took to Cheryl:)

One last shot with Jillibeth and her "cutie boy"!

My own "Monsters of Comedy"

No trip is complete without a picture of the castle (still decorated for Christmas)

Eating our last meal of the day while waiting for the fireworks to go off. We were freezing!! Did I mention I don't own any sweatshirts nor heavy jacket???!! It was the night many parts of the Sunshine state was expecting snow. The sky was so cloudy that Disney only shot of a portion of the fireworks and what little could be seen was not that impressive.
