"When I See an Elephant Fly"

The Weiss family had a wonderful "weekend" this week.  We look forward to our one day together every single week and when it arrives we try our very best to make the most of it.  So, the highlight from yesterday was our trip to Magic Kingdom to see more of the new Fantasyland expansion that has been opening in phases. Dumbo's circus has arrived and there are many sights to see!  Here is Carly and I checking out all the elephants, giraffes and monkeys spitting water!

After hanging out there we decided to go ride the Dumbo ride for the first time!  There are now two Dumbo rides right next to one another, and instead of waiting in line, you enter a circus tent, get a pager (like at a restaurant) and play in the tent (it was way cool...I wanted to play in this play place) until your pager beeps and it's time to ride the attraction.  Only at Disney!  It's incredible and appeared to us as guests that all the kinks were worked out.  Carly loved watching the kiddos run around the play area.  I really can't imagine her ever being able to do that, but at the same time know it will be so fun when she can.  This is super silly, but we decided to take a short video of Carly riding Dumbo.  Hope you enjoy it. :)

We also tried to take a family photo while on the ride, but the sun got in the way a bit.

Other than our fun time at Magic Kingdom, we merely relaxed on the couch at home.  We took turns playing with Carly and enjoyed each others company.  We made tacos for lunch and chicken and rice for dinner.  Nothing too exciting.  I look forward to someday having an actual weekend together.  But I guess it's best that we don't while Carly can't remember.  Once she is older I think she will need that family time.
