It was a beautiful day for Homecoming in Rhoadesville last Sunday! As always, it was great to see so many family members and to enjoy a day porch sitting and eating homemade ice cream. Thanks G and P for being a wonderful hosts --

We are home! At the airport in Richmond.

What a magical vacation! Thank you, Grammy and Pop for giving us such a wonderful trip. What wonderful memories for us all!

On Tuesday morning we had breakfast with some of the Disney characters. Sophia was so excited to see Cinderella again!

Girl talk...

Meeting Goofy...

Henry was excited to meet Goofy too!

Sophia was not too sure about Buzz Light Year. She decided that Henry would enjoy meeting him though. She was right! Henry walked right to him!

He would have hung out with Buzz all day!

But then Henry caught a glimpse of Cinderella...it was love at first sight.

Look at that face. Oh my...

One happy boy.

After breakfast, we ventured to Animal Kingdom. There was so much to see!

Sophia was excited to meet Pocahontas.

These two talked and talked. Here they are calling Pocahontas' hummingbird...

It's Minnie!

Henry was dancing to the music.

Guitar Dan wandered by and stopped to sing a song about Sophia and Henry.  It was great!

Time for a Safari ride!

We saw so many animals including giraffes. Sophia was so excited!

My favorite was the baby rhino. Precious.

After the safari.

Time to shop! Giraffe ears, a safari Mickey, and two rubber snakes. All set!

Sophia started talking to one of the gift shop employees and he let her pick a pin. She chose Cinderella.

By this time we were all starving and so excited for lunch at the Rainforest Cafe!

We're excited!

We surprised Sophia with a volcano dessert. Love the face!

Then we headed back to the hotel to rest up. After nice long naps, Henry's having fun in the room before the festivities begin.

All dressed and ready for an evening in Epcot. We attended a mixer, saw fireworks, and had an ice cream social all sponsored by Southern States. 

On the ferry...

Sophia decided that we were at the Ball!

Ice Cream time!

Sophia decided her outfit was missing some long, white gloves. G and P (and the Disney gift shop) fixed Princess Sophia right up!

Don't all princesses sleep in their gloves?
