Animal Kingdom

Safari vehicle loaded up...and go!

Precious cargo secure

Rhino (not charging)

This is a termite mound. AKA this picture is filled with evil.

Inside the Festival of the Lion King with a wild trapeze and trampoline show.

Oooh...Aaah

Heading into It's Tough to be a Bug! - Morgan won't put his bug glasses on, so Mom is sad :(

Hanging above the flags, (a little folded up) is a bat. It was amazing. We got to see some later displaying their massive wingspan...just not on film.

Morgan: Can the bats come in here?

Me: YES!!!

Just lazing around with the tigers.

Tram back to the car...

Morgan: Don't leave Mom!

Halloween in FL

Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!

Morgan suited up as a race car driver this year.

Cruisin the aisles at the grocery store because they offer trick or treating!

The air conditioning is key, especially in a full suit costume.

Me: Morgan! Get your bucket up here, I'm dumping this in!

(Parenting: not all about setting good examples)

Walking the block, discussing our list of tricks, in case the treats don't work out.

It was a long walk between houses of interest, Morgan requested a little pick me up.

Awwww Jackpot!!

This may look like a nice kiss, but really, we just "Lady and the Tramp-ed" a Kit-Kat.

Ha-ha!

Oh yeah! I got the best of it!

Green goo hands coming at ya! Spooky!!

Off To FL

We're on the plane, Morgan has a window seat and we're good to go!

(Animals behave!)

On the ground in FL, everybody huddle in!

Morgan plots our day at the parks

Confirming the final path as we park the car.

Ta-da! The family Castle shot

Waiting in line at our first ride.

Then it's up and away on the Magic Carpets of Aladdin!

Grandma and Grandpa keeping an eye on us from the ground.

On the Jungle Cruise, Morgan looks unsure, while Grandpa lends support.

What's more soothing than a merry-go-round?

So take off your hat and snuggle up to a horse.

In Mickey's PhilharMagic 3D show

Outside Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - which Morgan went on!!

At the Mad Tea Party

Oh no!

Morgan and I spun that tea cup silly!

Heading out on the Speedway, I was in no condition to drive, so I felt we'd be best with Morgan at the wheel - HA!

Grandpa and Grandma hot on our tail.

(A single lane track, they're in the car behind us,

yet Morgan still taunts "We're going to beat you")

...And we did :)

Battling intergalactic evil in Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin

Here's the photo that the ride took of us...even though Morgan is tall enough to ride Big Thunder Mountain Rollercoaster, he's still too short to show up in this photo. (You can see his arm attached to the photon gun and a little of his hair)

The Great Pumpkin Farm

There was an admission fee to enter this Farm, but there was so much to do!!!

Off to races!! (literally)

Morgan's ready to wave the checkered flag...

....for tiny pig races...

...and wiener dog races!

Getting a view from the top for some pumpkin launchers

and on to the next event!

Pumping the water to move the ducks down the half pipe

Leading the way in the corn maze

We made it out!

(At this point, Morgan is actually quite annoyed with us and is yelling at us rather than with us)

Going for a ride in the moo wagon.

Peak-a-boo!

Feeding the caged animals

Slip slidin away

Woooo!

For those of you that saw the Christmas card, this shot is old news.

The Hiatus

My apologies to everyone who has visited during the past 2 months of stagnation here...

I should have 17 or so blogs to come. I've looked thru the photos, it's just a matter of uploading them and speaking to them.

Here is a spider hat that Morgan made at school - Happy Halloween!

Chowing on some dessert following a dinner at a restaurant.
