Year: 2015

We got great seats for the parade. The crowd wasn’t too bad.

We shouted Merry Christmas until our voices were nearly gone. We got lots of beads, candy and other goodies!

We have been having all sorts of new visitors to the bird feeders. This week we had both a HUGE red bellied woodpecker and two downy woodpeckers.

We got over to Disney before Dad so we went to Disney Quest and played games for a while. I love the Star Wars Pod Racer game.

We saw the Mickey’s Backyard BBQ show with the rope guy. I was mesmerized!

The next day we visited EPCOT. I love the ball.

We saw Captain EO for the last time as they are closing it down.

We had dinner at Biergarten in Germany. I loved the stage show. I found some food to eat. I liked the pretzel rolls.

We saw the processional and sat right in front of the percussionists. I loved watching all the moving and shaking they had to do.

We checked outage pool a few times. I was finally brave enough to try to slide and kept going back for more.

We said another goodbye to the Osborn lights since this is the last year for them. It was insanely crowded.

I was upset that the line for the Star Tours so so long that we could only do the fastness once. But my smile returned when I found out about the Launch Pad area. They had all sorts of props from he new movie that comes out in a few weeks.

We went and saw Fantasmic late at night. I think we were all a little tired.

It was kind of chilly in the mornings but was toasty by noon. Waiting for the boat to Magic Kingdom was not fun for me. I was FROZEN!

I did ride the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train 4 times this week. I LOVED IT!

I took Dad on the teacups.

I got a new anteater stuffed animal.

We waited patiently to see Santa.

I actually went up without Mom holding onto me.

I rigged up some ropes and tied them around my waist and scaled the trees. I managed to get quite high into the tree.

There weren’t a lot of kids around since most schools are still in session. We had a grand time together riding scooters, creating scenes for our movie we are making and getting dirty.

I loved the campfire show and making S’mores. 

We met up with friends for a DisneySchooling gathering at EPCOT. Welcome back to the three caballeros in Mexico. They have been on a world tour for the last 30 years!

We set the rhythm at the drums.

We met the group and listened to stories of the holidays from around the world.

 

Kwanza

Hanukah

La Bafana

China

Norway

France

Some of our best friends. They live near us so this was a treat to meet up in Orlando.

We did our annual carriage ride.

The elves got into trouble. One night they even had a marshmallow snowball fight!

Another cold wait for the boat to magic Kingdom. We were heading over to do the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game some more.

We had dinner at Boma one night and decorated cookies as a treat afterwards. I picked a giraffe and an elephant.

We saw a baby giraffe on the safari.

We got soaked on the Kali River Rapids ride.

I loved The Castle Guys site and dancing castle set to the music from Wishes.

I was all snuffly and sneezy most of the trip. This pollen in the water explains that! Summer #4?

We scootered all over the campground. It is awesome that the scooters fit under the motorhome and we can travel with them easier than the bicycles.

We went with some homeschool friends to see Twas the Night Before Christmas at Mahaffay Theater in St. Petersburg. Grandma Susie came along too. We had really nice seats in the balcony wings. I loved the show.We have a few other plays and performances coming up this month. I do love shows like this a lot.

We came home and found Thunder sleeping on the cable box. Weird kitty.

I actually picked up trash for once at a clean-up. I did have to use another bag to pick it up so my hands stayed clean. After the clean-up we all hit the beach for playing in the water, building castles and forts and capturing critters.

Mom thinks I was so excited I was LEVITATING in the photo.
