Day 2 of the Make-A-Wish Trip

So the second day of our adventure begins and Super Papi and I are trying to figure out how in the heck we were going to get Savvy to walk past the playground in front of the Villa....seriously, it has giant lollipops luring you in...how can a 3 year old resist??????  Well...it was tough but we just kept repeating the word, "Horsey", as if it were our new family chant....yes...little one you must walk past the delicious playground and we will find horses at Keaton's Koral...walk...okay...be carried then!

Fortunately, everything is very close and as soon as we turn the corner we hear.."HORSEY!!".  A bee line to the horses it is!  The mom behind me and I were chatting and it was kinda funny because we were both worried about the same thing...the hat!  Yup, her little one was in a wheelchair and at GKTW every child has the ability to do EVERYTHING (Have I mentioned how magical this place is?)!  No worries about silly chairs...we both worried because neither of our girls like to wear hats....REFUSE to wear hats!  So we watch as the other little ones put their hats on and mount the horses and then it is Savvy's turn.  At first she refused but when it was explained to her that no hat meant no horse....

 

Well.....you will see her decision.............................

Savvy really wanted to ride the horse!  A bit unsure but really wanting to do it!!  Yeah....magical is what GKTW is!

She rode the majority of the time with her mouth WIDE open!!  She was mesmerized!

"So Happy", Savvy repeated these words throughout our trip.  You can see it in her eyes....

Okay....then we are off to get "breakfast" at the ice cream parlor....REALLY they serve breakfast there but since we are there....why not get some ICE CREAM!!

She patiently waited for the wonderful substance that was teasing her little eyes....ICE CREAM!!!  This Friendly's ice cream is like no other....it is beautiful and like the rest of the village everything is kid sized!

And now we are headed to Universal for the first day of the "Big Park"...Savvy had to be convinced to leave the Village.
