Florida I - Disney Animal Kingdom

We started our Florida trip with a day at Disney's Animal Kingdom.  After a slow start, Amelia discovered the drums, the joy of anticipation of meeting characters, and the feeling of accomplishment of having got their autograph.  The actual act of talking to them, was still a bit daunting though :D.  The Lion King show was amazing. . . maybe next time we go Amelia will be awake for it.  She did enjoy Finding Nemo though (Grandma dozed through that one).

Florida II - Disney Magic Kingdom

We visited Magic Kingdom twice.  Once in the evening for Mickey's Christmas Party then for the whole day.  We were shocked at how late we lasted.  Amelia enjoyed the parades, meeting princesses (and anyone else we ran into), and even a few rides.  Apparently, the Pooh ride was too scary though.

Florida III - Sea World

Sea World was a hit, although not for obvious reasons.  Amelia was 1/2" over the minimum ride height for the kiddy rollercoasters and loved them.  We also enjoyed seeing the animals, and the Sesame Street Show, ending the day with s'mores.

Florida IV - Coco Beach

Our flights didn't leave til late afternoon so we took a road trip to Coco Beach.  Amelia enjoyed the beach but was a little surprised by the changing tide.

Painting

Amelia gets a new room when the baby arrives, so we've been working on painting it and a bookcase.

Reiman Gardens

It was free day at Reiman Gardens last week so we took advantage and spent the afternoon there, after lunch at Hickory Park.  The butterfly garden was fun and they had an exhibit of lego sculptures all around the garden which held the kids' interest.

End of Year Preschool Program(me)

July Update :  This is Amelia's "Morning Mummy" picture.  Pretty accurate, I'd say. . . crazy hair. . . not too happy face (I'm sooooo not a morning person).
