Magic Kingdom, Small World! - Day 3

Today started off with a horseback ride.  Cicily got to ride in her pjs!  She went first to show Maya and Sophie how it's done since Cis rides a horse every week.  It was Maya's first ride on a horse.  She's never been brave enough to do it before.  She feels so safe at GKTW that she jumped right on.  Sophie loved the horse and kept making horsey noises.
Give Kids the World has it's own carousel!  This time Daddy and Cis rode on a sitting animal and Cis liked it much better!
How sweet is a garbage can that's a clown's mouth!  (Unless you don't like clowns, but these girls do.)  Sophie was giggling non-stop when the paper flew into its mouth. 

It's a Small World!!!!  This is one of the things Cicily REALLY wanted to do when we came on her wish trip.  Cicily was so excited when we got on she was signing to call Grandma to tell her about it.  So, Grandma got an earful of the song while we rode.  We also took lots of pictures of the dolls so we can make Cicily her own Small World book when we get home.  We'll also go back to this ride later in the week for sure!
In line for Mickey's Philharmagic.  3D glasses ready!
Sophie was making Cis laugh with this trick - a double fingers up the nose act!  A great way to pass the time while waiting for the Tiki Room to be ready for us!
Maya's been so great to push Cis and Soph around the parks.  She's been helpful, happy and excited to see her sisters have fun. 
Cicily was giddy when I asked her if she'd like to buy some treats to take to her school class.  She picked out some chocolate covered pretzels shaped like Mickey.  That's been the souvenir she's been most excited about by far.  Of course it would be something to give to someone else.
The GKTW night activity was Mayor Clayton's birthday party.  A "once in a lifetime chance" according to Maya.  We finally broke the news to her that every week they have a party for Mayor Clayton.  But then she wisely pointed out that we'd never be back for a party for Mayor Clayton.  For the party fun Cicily petted some dogs, decorated a shirt, her and Maya got balloon animals, we ate cake and ice cream, and danced a bit. 
After the party we got our nightly ice cream treat and rode the train home.  Cicily was loving tasting our banana split.  I'm not sure what it is about food on this trip.  She must just not want to miss out on any detail of her wish fun!

I just checked in and love the pictures. I have so enjoyed the little phone calls from Cicily. The pictures are priceless. It looks like GKTW is a great place. You all look so happy. I'm so grateful to so many people for making a trip like this possible. What great memories you will have. I'm glad to see you are enjoying every minute!!! Love you
