Disney Days: Part 4 (Princess Lunch)

Nate's activity was Jedi training, so Kathryn's special activity was a princess lunch. She was so excited to meet the princesses and she was even more excited to show off her own princess style to them.

Her princess lunch was at Epcot, so we walked around a little before our reservation. I tried getting a picture of Nate and Kate together, but neither child would cooperate. I finally took this picture of them purposely not looking normal for the picture to embarrass them when they're older. I gave them plenty of chances to smile nicely for the picture. Payback.

Nate is actually really into countries at the moment so he thought walking through the different countries was pretty cool. He wanted his picture taken in front of them so that people would think he's actually been to some foreign countries. Here he is in Mexico.

 Norway.

 Japan.

Then Nate explained to Kathryn that people aren't going to think she's been to any foreign countries so she decided to start getting in on pictures.

 Nate and Kate in Germany.

As we were walking through Germany these maidens kicked their soccer ball over to Nate for a little street soccer. They didn't know what they were getting themselves into.

After they played soccer Nate just stood around chatting with Germans about all things Germany. You know showing off his German counting skills, eins, zwei, drei, vier, funf and chatting about the autobahn. He threw in a "danke" after they gave him some caramel corn. They were impressed with his fondness for their country. As one guy said in a German accent, "He's practically German." Nate holds Germany dear to his heart because that was where he spent his first three months of existence in my tummy. By the way, he let them know that too.

Kathryn was just proud of her flower she picked and wanted a picture of it.

And now it's time for the princess lunch! That morning Kathryn picked out a princess dress to wear. She chose Rapunzel, so I changed her in the bathroom before we went to the restaurant.

Nate started getting jealous of Kate's moment so he jumped in front of the camera every time I tried to take a picture of Princess Kate

When we walked in there was a photographer set up taking pictures with Belle from The Beauty and the Beast. They gave us a 5x7" print in a folder, but this is the picture I took to share. Nate didn't want to have anything to do with Belle because it was right after he got in trouble for jumping in front of Kathryn's pictures.

We sat down for lunch and the princesses walked around to each table and chatted with their fans.

 Princess Ariel admired Kate's Little Mermaid Ariel doll.

 Ariel and Kate.

Nate originally declined Ariel's offer to have his picture taken with her, but once she told him what a handsome prince he was he couldn't resist.

Cinderella's visit was by far the most awkward because she is Kathryn's favorites in person. Kathryn turned into her super awkward, nervous self. Thankfully she's outgrown her nervous tongue sticking out bit, but she just sat and stared at her. She's so beautiful, how can you not. Cinderella made a joke to Kathryn before she left our table. "It was so good talking with you even though I couldn't get a word in edgewise."

Nate was all about getting his picture taken with Cinderella. Especially after she called him prince too. He really thought these princesses liked him.

Snow White with Nate and Kate.

Kathryn walked around the restaurant in a princess procession. That's where Nate definitely drew the line. He didn't mind taking pictures with the princesses as long as they were complimenting him, but he wasn't about to walk around the restaurant with them. You can see Kathryn directly to Ariel's left in the purple dress.

Even princesses have to eat.

 So princess like.

 Dessert time for our little princess.

Princess Kate really let this princess lunch go straight to her head.

My little prince and me.

 Daddy's little princess.

This was definitely a magical lunch experience! That magic was left in the restaurant, unfortunately. Back to real life. Nate and Kate are sharing a Dr. Pepper and of course that can't be done without Nate picking on Kathryn telling her not to put her whole face all over the bottle.

You can just see the look on Nate's face that he's enjoying giving her a hard time. Watching them gives me flashbacks of my childhood.

 Criticizing her as she's drinking.

 Then wiping her germs off.

 These two are quite the pair.
