| Staci doing her crayon impression |
I have the world’s worst memory, so
I need to get this written before I forget.
Last week is already starting to fade away. Vacation has passed way to fast, I wish it
could last forever. I really need to
look into winning the lottery. Anyway we
did two more really fun things while we were down in Orlando, Florida. We braved the horrendous traffic, and I mean
it took an hour to go four miles, and it was 2:00 in the afternoon!!! I could never figure out why traffic moved so
slow. Finally, we made it to the Florida
Mall and found the Crayola Experience. Kind
of hard to miss 10 feet tall crayons LOL If you have ever thought about going I
highly recommend. It was so much
fun. The first floor is just a Crayola store,
filled with every crayon or marker you could ever want, the second floor though
is out of this world. It is huge and
filled with all sorts of coloring experiences.
We stayed in there almost three hours coloring on paper, coloring on
iPads and seeing the drawing come to life on big screen. We designed dresses and then watched them
modeled down a runway. We tricked out sports cars and saw them zoom
around. Dragons came to life, as well as
princesses and bumblebees. We even had paper
pterodactyl puppets we created dance on stage to rock music. Spin art with melted crayons was very popular
among the kids and adults, but not as fun as melting crayons down into
shapes. In addition to the arts, there
are giant playgrounds to burn off extra energy.
I swear the kids were syphoning it from the adults. Buy you tickets online, it is cheaper that
way, and if it is within seven days of your birthday, you get in free. We left
with lots of souvenirs and wonderful memories.

| Officially a Princess |
The last big thing we did was
Medieval Times. Staci was so excited for
that. We had already seen the ivy
covered castle, so we knew right were to go.
Staci was all dressed up in her baby blue princess dress for the
occasion. We had purchased our tickets
online (google a coupon code for lower prices) so we were able to just walk
right in. We were placed under the
County of Peralada’s red and yellow knight’s protection. Crowns on head we stepped back into time. While we waited for the festivities we were
in a great hall full of souvenirs for purchase of course LOL. I sipped on the King’s
Colada in a purple goblet while we wandered about. The highlight of Staci’s night was when she
was deemed a real royal princess by King Carlos. I was shocked that she walked up there all by
herself and knelt down while he proclaimed her a princess. She was in awe, her whole demeanor that night
was one of a regal princess. It was so
cute to see. She got a pink pearl tiara,
and a scroll with a picture of her with the king to remember the occasion. Finally, the trumpets sounded and we were
escorted to our table, that was second row and right in the middle (lucky us).
We had great seats to view the white horses as they came out, then Lady Myla (a
falcon) who soared about the audience, and finally all the knights. During dinner (which was messy, and I
recommend going vegetarian now) the knights did jousting and sword fights. Staci liked the sparks from the swords
clashing. Sadly, the red and yellow knight did not win, but the green knight did
defeat the bad guy who had come to steal Princess Catalina LOL Staci was very
relieved.
Princess Staci had so much fun on
this birthday trip. I have no idea how I
will top it for her eighth birthday next July 31
st. I guess I better get to planning…
