First Haircut!!

On Saturday March 12, 2011 we took Kalen to Disney for the day to get his first haircut at the Harmony Barber shop inside the Magic Kingdom.  It was such a wonderful experience and he did amazing, no crying at all.  We were a little early for our appointment time, so we played outside the barber shop on Main Street for a little while.  When it was time we placed Kalen in the chair and our Barber Rex began loading him up with Mickey stickers to keep him entertained.  Then he snipped that first cut of baby hair!! I am shocked I did not cry, although I did cry when I was flipping through the pictures a little later.  Kalen sat there like a champ through the cutting. He was more concerned about getting the stickers than what Rex was doing to him.  At the end he was awarded his First Mickey ears, which say First Haircut on the back, and a certificate of Bravery for getting his first Haircut.  I was awarded a pile of his precious baby hair!!

This was such a great experience for his first Haircut, it was not expensive at all (shocking since it is a Disney thing).  You do have to pay to get into the park though, we are lucky enough that Mike's dad works for Disney and are able to go on a pretty regular basis.  The Mickey ears are included with the HC.  I would recommend calling to make an appointment so you do not have to wait in the walk-in line.

Birthday weekend

Went to St. Cloud, so we could go to Animal Kingdom for my birthday. So we got up on Saturday morning went to breakfast and then headed to AK. I am a little worried about walking all over the place because of what happened last time we went to a theme park. We get there and we pass by the Tree of Life which has the greatest 3-D show in it, It's tought to be a bug. You get to wear the most amazing 3-D glassses(notice picture)and afterwards we head to Everest, so I say I have a slight headache and do not want to make it worse. Moving on we go to Mike's favorite ride which is a jungle safari and you get to see all the wild animals. Mike's mom happens to notice that it says expecting women should not ride. So we start talking about why that is and we all decide it can't be worse than riding in a car and hitting bumps. Next we head to Dinosaur and we are almost to the front of the line when Mike starts saying that I cannot go on this ride. Which is fine, so I use the I still have a headache so mike and his dad go and his mom and I just walk through and wait in the gift shop. Next was a very special treat Mike's dad booked us reservations at a buffett in the park so we head on in. The food was great. I particulary enjoyed the kids section which had mini corn dogs and mac-n-cheese. Yummy. Towards the end our table starts gathering a large assortment of fruit that will be eaten over the next few days. Then our waitress brings me a birthday cupcake with blue icing and Mickey Mouse sprinkles. They start to sing Happy Birthday very quietly and out goes the candle. I was trying to hold my breath so I would not blow the candle out to early since it was quite close, well no such luck out it went when I let some air escape out of nose!! Thats right I blew the candle out with my nose.
