JUNE

There are so many things I am looking forward to in June! The first is the end of the school year. I cannot believe its Summer all over again. This year has flown. I don't know who is more excited for Summer, me or the students. Second, with the end of the school year I get a break :-) Although I am going to be working Summer school, I still get a 3 week break from work. And the third thing that I am excited for is, during my 3 week break from work I will be taking a trip to.................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Wait for it............................................................................................. DISNEY WORLD :-) :-) :-)

I am so excited. Riley saw a commercial during Christmas which got my gears turning and over the next couple of months I started planning, searching for the best rates and finally booked our trip. Riley is so excited and talks none stop about going to Disney. She talks so much about Disney, you would think that she has actually been there. I am just so excited that I am able to take Riley to do something that she wants to do. I have so much to get done in the next few weeks, but in the end it will all be worth it to see the sparkle in Riley's eye as she meets Cinderella (her favorite) and Mickey Mouse. She is going to get a princess makeover at Cinderella's castle, followed by lunch at Cinderella's table :-)  I cannot wait to see the look on her face. When she sees pictures of Disney World, she goes wild with excitement and asks if she will be able to see those things and meet those particular characters.

We are also going to spend one day in Universal Studios: Island of Adventures so that we can visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Every time she sees the commercial for this place she says "Mommy we are going there to see Harry Potter" She wants to go to the store there to get her very own magic wand. She is a Harry Potter fanatic. I must admit I am not the biggest fan, I love the movies, never read the books (too long and boring for me to get through). Riley on the other hand, is addicted to the movies. She shouts, screams, and laughs out loud at the TV during certain parts of the movies. She is always yelling at Lord Voldemort for trying to hurt Harry Potter.

Anyhow, June is going to be a busy, but very fun filled month. I will try to keep up posting and definitely post while we are in Disney.

On a side note, May was a busy and fun month as well. Riley had her very first dance recital with Dance Destination. She and all of the other girls were absolutely adorable. I look forward to the many more years of my baby girl dancing. She is something else dressed up and dancing on stage.
