Clearwater Beach Florida

I'm really missing the sound of the crashing waves today, so I thought it would be a good idea to reminisce over some beach day photos from our last trip to Florida.

Animal Kingdom Safari

Easily my favorite part of Animal Kingdom is the safari ride. We all fell in love with the animals, and probably because we came in the spring-ish we were able to see all kinds of babies.  Of all of the parks Animal Kingdom is not very high on my list of places to stop. They do have a fun little Dinosaur Land area for kids, but aside from that, and maybe we just didn't explore it properly but I do remember this same feeling the last time we visited 8 years ago, there just weren't as many attractions that I was excited about. Now, though, they have Avatar Land and you know how I feel about that. I would definitely go back just for that. Here are some photos I took while we were on our safari ride, and at the end are a couple of photos from the Lion King live show we were able to stop and watch after, which the kids loved. Super fun!

85th Birthday Reunion

Grandma Joan, on Shawn's side (his mom's mom), is turning 85 on the 19th! To celebrate we had a big family reunion in WY at Alcova Lake. It was beautiful and loads of fun! Short and sweet, but so worth it. I was a little worried about the road trip out there. It's about a 6 hour drive from our current home away from home in Park City, and the worry comes from my little boy previously HATING the car, and the fact that we have been driving all over the place for hours at a time these past three weeks. I guess though, instead of hating it, it prepared him to deal with it. He loved it. Right before our trip I got an email from Michael's Craft Store about a big sale they were having that included those little lap trays that you put over your lap to color, draw, eat... etc. Has little cubbies for a bottle of water, crayons, notepads... etc. That was pretty much a life saver from the moment we bought them and I wish I had had them sooner. A lot sooner. These road trips just...

Mother's Day in Avatar Land!

This was my second Mother's Day in a Disney theme park. I LOVE Mother's Day at Disney! They are so nice to Mommies. First, as you walk into the park they give all the women flowers, real ones, beautiful and colorful carnations, and everyone tells you Happy Mother's Day all day long. The flowers I got, which ended up being two, I was able to save and put into a glass and set on our dining table at the condo we stayed at for the remainder of our vacation after our stay at Kidani Village. I liked that personal touch, and if I stay at a condo like that again, which I'm sure I will, I'll probably go ahead and add fresh cut flowers to my grocery list so we can all feel a little more at home. On Mother's Day Shawn and the kids bought me an adorable little coffee plant planted in a little ceramic giraffe from the gift shop in our lodge. I love it so much! It managed to survive the trip home with us, and is growing big and beautiful. I was worried about going from humi...
