Year: 2011

We visited Lowry Park Zoo to check out Dino Quest. I was so terrified because of the loud sounds and dark spaces. I was stuck to Mommy’s leg.

Once we got past the T-Rex bones I was cool. I had seen the dinos come off the truck a few weeks back so I knew what they were really like. Huge robots! My buddy Zachary and I had a great time learning about all the dinosaurs.

You could even control one of them!

I figured out how to make the mouth open and the tail swing all around.

They had an inflatable slide that I went down about 10 times.

Zachary rode the Tasmanian Tiger 17 times. I rode it 18!!!

I loved my time at the zoo with my buddy!

Today we went to the Florida State Fair. They had a $1 ride special for the first hour they were open. We got in about 8 rides!

I am learning to love the crazy rides. I love the motion.

Slightly less aggressive ride but still super fun.

The flying dragons!!

I milked a cow!

I flew a helicopter.

I loved seeing all the 4H and Future Farmers of America displays. We spent about 6 hours at the fair and we were all exhausted!

I am now part of a homeschool nature club. We meet weekly at various nature oriented locations around town. Sadly, most of the meetings conflict with 4H or Gifted program. Mommy said she will try to take me when she can.

Our last day of our mini vacation we went to the Stitch character breakfast at O’hana.

I enjoyed seeing Lilo and Stitch.

But unlimited Mickey shaped waffles were WAY more interesting! I think I ate 6!

We spent the rest of the morning at Magic Kingdom. Once again everything was pretty much walk on. We had time to do everything, even play in the Dumbo for a while.

After dinner, we went to the Polynesian to watch the fireworks. We snuggled on the beach and enjoyed the show. It was nice to see fireworks without all of the loud sounds.

What an awesome mini vacation. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the spare room!

We enjoyed time at each park and got to do everything we desired. There were no lines and everything was walk on. Even the characters had super short lines. I LOVE Maria!!!

The mouse himself! Emmerson was a bit scared so Mommy had to escort him.

PLUTO!

Minnie wouldn’t give me the time of day! Emmerson sucked all her attention to him!

Donald loved me!

The next morning we hit Animal Kingdom and enjoyed it very much. Do I look a bit older here? Well, Mommy and Daddy tricked me and got me onto the Mt. Everest roller-coaster. HAHA! Boy was I NOT happy! Mommy new how to fix things afterwards and now I have a brand new little stuffed Yeti! Then we hit the safari ride, my absolute favorite!

Hip hippo.

Lazy hippo.

Baby giraffe.

Rhino!

SIMBA! I mean LION!

I really had a fun time with the entire family.
