3rd Birthday

Come One, Come All to the Greatest Show on Earth!

Mary Bradford turned 3 YEARS OLD on April 26th. We had a carnival birthday party and had a lot of fun. We had a variety of carnival games, such as ring toss, lucky duck, and lots more. Unfortunately, all the kids were mostly interested in only one game, LUCKY DUCK because they could play in the water to select their duck... After the party, Mary Bradford ended up in the tiny blow up swimming pool with the ducks and her friend, Emma Reid. It was a fun time and we are now adjusting to her being 3. She is able to do so much by herself and we are so proud of her!!

Disney 2009

We took a trip to Disney during my Spring Break in April. It was Mary Bradford's first trip and me and Todd's first trip together. We stayed at the Boardwalk Inn and loved the hotel. We took the ferry boat to Epcot and Hollywood Studios and the bus to Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. We attended the Princess Storybook Luncheon at the Akershus Hall in Norway. Mary Bradford was able to talk to and get her picture made with Snow White, Cinderella, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, and everyone else you can think of. We saw a great street party in front of the Magic Kingdom and watched the nighttime SpectroMagic parade. Mary Bradford loved the fireworks! I think they were her favorite part. We took in as much as we could in the six days we were there. We had our picture made with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and the rest of the gang, as well as Tinker Bell, and some of the other fairies. Mary Bradford was amazed at everything that Disney was made of. During one of the rainy days, we were getting ready to leave Magic Kingdom while one of the employees was blowing bubbles. Mary Bradford immediately ran up to her, took her hat off and tried to catch bubbles in her hat. The lady saw her and stopped us to give us a certificate making Mary Bradford the honorary bubble princess for the day. She gave her a sticker and a pass to go to the front of the line. This is one of many things that Disney does to make children feel special. We are ready for another trip next year!
