Coming soon...

...though I won't promise when - Baking Day!!! My sister and her best friend, Alison, joined us this year and it was great times as always! Also - Jim, Rich and I are going to the Avs game tomorrow night. Hopefully I'll get some great shots from that too!

Better late than never

So it took me a while to get my pictures from Florida posted. Things just kept coming up, and I didn't feel like sitting with the laptop for hours on end going through and picking out the best of the best pictures to post! I figured, however, that I'd better do it before Christmas, because then I'd be WAY behind!! Following are several pictures from my family Thanksgiving vacation. We took the cold with us to Florida, for the first part of the week, and we had a blast just the same. I have the best parents in the world!!!! :)

Disney World

Downtown Disney, our first night!

Kristi and me watching "TV" with one of Pongo and Perty's kids at the All Star - Movies Resort. We stayed at 101 Dalmations...can ya tell??

Epcot! We rode the new "Soarin'" ride; totally awesome!!! You can smell the oranges in the orange grove, and the pine trees in the forrests!

The new Mt. Everest roller coaster at Animal Kingdom. It goes backwards in the dark! So cool!!!

Christmas light display at the Backlots of MGM Studios

Cinderella's castle, decked out in snowflakes for the holidays.

Busch Gardens

Mom, Dad and Me
Jack Hanna - from the Animal Planet!

The roller coaster I wouldn't go on, but my dad and sister loved - Sheikra!

Our first day in Florida, my parents took us to Busch Gardens. I love that place because of all the animals, but they do have some pretty awesome coasters as well. Sheikra was the only one I didn't go on, and that's because it had a drop that went so straight down, it almost looked like it went backwards! Yikes!! My dad and sister loved it, though...maybe next time! :)

Thanksgiving in Florida...

I had a great time visiting with my Grandpa for a few days over Thanksgiving. My 90-something Grandpa is still as awnry as ever. My mom visits him almost every summer and he always has a "to do" list!! The awesome thing is, he still gets around and can do most everything on his own. He loves getting out on his boat, which he has named "My Last One -5". Not sure what the -5 is about, but we're thinking maybe it's his 6th boat? Noone thought to ask him!!! We all love him so much and are hoping he'll travel out to visit us for Christmas!

Goodbye Zachary...
