Gus

Florida has a lot of alligators and the ranch has some too. This one is named Gus. Gus used to be on the ranch, but he got too big so they had to use him for other purposes. He now resides in the Carroll House, which is where my parents are living! I took some pictures of him with Megan so you could see the size of him! My girls weren't the least bit scared of him!

Traditional "last day" picture for those who visit the ranch. Yes, my eyes are red, yes I had been crying. I had to say goodbye to my mom and dad all over again. :-(

I Love to See the Temple

We drove into Orlando on Saturday. While we were there, we drove to the temple grounds. We got out and walked around and took some pictures. There was a couple there that had just been sealed along with their 8 year old daughter; they are from Chile. Megan was in awe of the bride!

Being Goofy!

The Beach

If you go to Florida you have to make it to the beach! We decided to head out Friday morning and just go walk on the beach. It was raining off and on so we knew that we wouldn't get in the water...well some of us anyway!

Very typical beach shot of my mom!

The girls loved it!

Megan and I had a great time running up and down the beach.

Sea Shells is what it is all about!

Morgan LOVED the beach!

She kept wanting to get in and jump the waves. She ended up riding home in just a diaper and blanket!

Shouting, "Here is comes!" as the waves come closer and closer!

Characters

The reason we came to Disney World...to meet the characters! Megan had a blast meeting all of the different characters, but the Princess's and the Fairies were by far her favorite. She was a trooper all day waiting in lines. Her autograph book is full!

The Rides...

We did go on a few rides so here is a peek at those!

It's a Small World.

Morgan fell asleep before we got on the ride.

DUMBO!

Megan and my mom on Dumbo.

Look how much fun Ryan is having!!!

Grandma waving.

Dumbo is over.

Inside on Pirates...kind of hard to see but that is Jack Sparrow.

This was on the way to the ride - pretty cool.

Odd picture, but the waterfall you see isn't real, it was smoke with an image of Davey Jones.

Magic Kingdom

I took a lot of pictures while we were at Disney World so I am going to break up the posts. Here are some of the pictures of the castle - I didn't photo shop anything so there are a lot of strangers in the pictures!

It was a bit early for her still!

Trying to get a quick shot so we aren't in the way of everyone else.

Grandma and Grandpa with two really cute grand kids!

Our try for a family shot in front of the castle...not the greatest but it proves we were there!

Loved the castle at night.

So pretty!

Gorgeous!
