Horse Drawn Carriage Ride, Swimming, Presents!

Once we got to the hotel we dropped our bags in the room and headed for a quick dinner. I packed some birthday cake to bring along with us (how can you not have bday cake on your real birthday?!) After dinner we went back to the room to change into warm clothes...Hailey learned her lesson after freezing during the castle tour and agreed to wear her heavy coat, fleecey jeans, and boots! Kai sat next to me and entertained the other carriage riders with songs and Hailey had a front row seat! It was a gorgeous, SNOWY evening! I loved this picture below of the horse against the snow. It had stared snowing while we were on our castle tour and it never stopped even as we drove home the next day (they hadn't had snow in about a month!) It made the ride extra magical!

A video snippet of the cloppety clop!


Checking out the horses after the hour long ride.
Even though it was after 8:30pm by the time we got back to the hotel room we told the girls that they could swim since they had napped in the car from 4:00-5:00. My camera kept steaming up on the pool deck. They also have an outdoor hot tub but it's off limits to children after 8:30. We swam in it the following afternoon while it was still snowing! After swimming and baths Hailey still had the presents from Leevi, Kailee and I to open. She got a tea party basket set (with a Fancy Nancy Tea Party book to go with it), some Polly Pockets and some clothes. When she was packing her PJ's for this trip I didn't think about taking a bday picture of her in Christmas jammies...oh well! :) They are one of her favorite!Finally that busy day had come to an end and we all crashed around 11!!! Happy Birthday baby girl! Hope it was one to remember!!!!!!
