Disney World - Animal Kingdom

My Dad had a conference in Orlando and Mom was going with him and they graciously invited us to come with them. Of course, we said YES!!! Craig, unfortunately, was unable to come, but that just means we will have to go back with him. We went Dec 30th thru Jan 6th so all the Christmas decorations were still up.

Our 1st stop....

Ready to go

Seeing all the animals during our Kilimanjaro Safari tour - the real Simba and Nala (one of Carlee's favorite movies)











Waiting in line for the Dino-Rama ride


Papa and Cici on the Dino behind us


Carlee loved it

Her favorite part was the sand pit, digging for dinosaur bones - we could have stayed here all day






Waiting for Mickey's Jammin' Jingle Jungle Parade




Safari Minnie


My camera died during the parade. I made sure this didn't happen again. We saw so much at Animal Kingdom. We saw the Bird Show (Flights of Wonder), It's Tough to be a Bug, Festival of the Lion King, Finding Nemo - The Musical and so much more. It was a blast! I definitely think this was one of Carlee's most favorite days - see loved it all.


More pictures to come....having to separate them by days since there are so many pictures. Stay tuned....

School Pictures!




These are a few months old, but better late than never. Carlee started a new daycare this past week. You can say we've had some daycare DRAMA! I get a call from a friend who also had a child at Cambridge on Dec. 27th saying, "What are you going to do?" My initial response was, "About what?" Cambridge is closing as of Jan 6th. As in closing for good. Keep in mind that Carlee and I were heading to Disney World Dec 30th and coming back Jan 6th, so that left me 2 days to find a new daycare. So I took the next day off and went to 6 or 7 different places. Obviously, several parents were also looking which was nice to get feedback from other parents on places they visited too. And the good news is, a lot of us picked the same place!!!! 5 other kids (some of Carlee's best friends from daycare) ended up transferring together. We a relief! The transition has been great and I've been very pleased - thank goodness!!

Look who came to Cici and Papa's house....SANTA!! And he brought an American Girl Bitty Baby doll, aka Lily. Lily also came with a stroller, clothes, backpack, blanket, and much more. Carlee loves Lily.







The plate Carlee and I made for both grandparents. Her little foot turned reindeer or moose.



Craig's not excited at all about his new "toy"





Floyd is not so sure about the little Maddy like puppy that walks and barks






Carlee and Margaux acting very silly. These girls had so much fun playing together. Too bad they only get to see each other a few times a year.
