Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom was a lot of fun. Brooke was in such a mood she really did not enjoy the park until the end of the day. We went to Dino Land first to try to cheer her up but she wanted to do nothing. Shania and I on the other hand rode the ride there and even got Aaron on the Dinosaur ride. He said it reminded him of Cory's driving.

We were all lucky that when we got there because we got "Dream Fastpasses" This means that we didn't have to wait in all of the long lines. The longest we waited was about 15 minutes. Shania and I wrode Everest twice. It was a really cool ride.

The girls got their faces painted once again. Brooke started her Disney pin collection and got more characters autographs.

The park closed at 8 so we left about 7:30.

Day 3

Today we went and got a new computer. The one I am typing on as we speak is about to give up. I don't know if I will be able to transfer everything or not. We took the girls shopping today at the mall. Sydney stayed with Grandma and took a long nap. She is fast asleep in her bed right now.

Tomorrow we are going to Disney's Animal Kingdom. It is the first time any of us have been there.

Day 2

Yesterday we didn't do too much. The girls played in the pool and later in the evening we went to the beach for about a hour. There was no one there so the girls had the run of the beach. Aaron and I did a little shopping and took the computer in for a tune up. I ran into trouble up loading the Busch Gardens pictures, so there will be no pics until we get the computer back. Today will probably be about the same as yesterday, not much going on. Tomorrow we plan on going to Animal Kingdom.

Florida Day 1

Well, we are on our family vacation in sunny Florida. We got here yesterday afternoon after a 2 hour flight from Indy. The ride was nice and quite. Brooke and Shania watched movies and Sydney slept the whole way.

Today we went to Busch Gardens and spent the day riding roller coasters and dodging rain and lightning. See, this is Florida's rainy season. So a few afternoon showers are to be expected. Anyway, Shania and I did most of the riding. Brooke and Grandma played, oh and daddy too. He doesn't like the rides. We saw lots of animals like lions, tigers, elephants, zebra, and chimps, just to name a few. The girls got their faces painted. Brooke got a white tiger and Shania was a cheetah. Sydney was an angel until the end of the day. She was pretty beat like the rest of us. All the pictures will be on the website. Aaron also played games with the girls and won them a few "small" stuffed animals to bring home. Notice the word small. Yea right.

Anyway, we had a great day. Tomorrow we will be sleeping in and maybe going to the beach for a little while.

Good night all!!

Look what I found...

I was heading over to see the horses and happened upon this little turtle laying eggs by the fence. I don't know how long she had been there or how many eggs she laid but she must have been finishing up. She would drop one in the hole and shove it down in there. When she was done she covered them back up with mud.

Its soooooo hot.....

What is the need for all this heat. I mean, it kills all the pretty flowers and grass, you can't go out because of the heat and horse flys. Brooke is driving me crazy with wanting to go outside and play with the kittys. But it is just too flippen hot. Now we are heading to Florida this weekend where it is, you guessed it, HOT. And just think, in a couple of months, I will probably be saying it is too cold outside. I can't be pleased I guess.

Their Here...

We finally got the barn done that I have been working on since early spring. We brought the horses here on Monday. I think that they are adjusting nicely.
