Cool Mickey and Minnie

I loved seeing these bushes?, trees?, topiaries? of characters. The people who work at Disney must love their jobs because they do amazing jobs at everything they do. Disney is organized, clean, fun, beautiful, overwhelming .... and magical .... the happiest place on earth!

Wishes Do Come True

It has been a lifelong dream of mine to go to Disney. This truly was a dream come true for me. Roy said he saw me turn into a kid before his eyes while in The Magic Kingdom. I tried to soak it all in but it was way too much. Did I have fun....definately, the most fun I have had in years. While I love my life and my family and my jobs; it was so enjoyable to disappear into the world of make believe for awhile.

The Conductor

The Harry Potter exhibit at Disney is unbelievable. The castle is outstanding. The train and conductor were there. There were dancers and magic wands and capes...you name it, it was there. Out of everything...I must admit, I could have stared at the castle for days. The ride however, wasn't my cup of tea. I love roller coasters but dislike simulators. Harry Potter was a simulator....

Jaws

Who hasn't wanted to pose with Jaws? I'm a tourist...I pose with the great white. I loved the hat. I should have come home with a dozen hats...did I...no...I'm to practical. But I really was like a kid at Disney.

Seuss Landing

Dr. Seuss is one of my favorite storybook series of all time. I loved to see them all come to life in Disney. I bought a "Mother of all Things" t-shirt. Is there anything that isn't fun in Disney?

I know they are different rides/shows but they are still both in the Animal Kingdom. The Tree of Life has "It's Tough to be a Bug" in it and the Lion King Show was in a different area; but these pictures belong together to me since they are all from the same movie. I loved the Lion King Show. The performers and the large giraffe, lion and elephant were amazing.

Yo Ho Ho Ho ... A Pirate's Life for Me

Roy tried on a Cap'n Jack Sparrow hat after we went on the Pirates of the Carribbean Ride. I think it rather suits him.

Daytona International Speedway

On our way from Daytona Beach to Orlando, we decided to go into the Daytona International Speedway and look around. We walked into the track area and snapped a few pictures and then looked at the
Walk of Fame. We just missed a race the day before we arrived...had we known!

4th of July Fireworks - Daytona Beach

My first 4th of July in the United States. We were at Daytona Beach and went for supper at this neat train railcar diner and then walked over to the beach to watch the fireworks.

Spaceshuttle Atlantis

The Last Voyage of the Spaceshuttle Atlantis was scheduled to lift off on July 8, 2011. We were hoping to see it. Everyone said there was a slim chance it would actually take off then....they get scrubbed quite often due to weather. We were so fortunate that it took off that day. You can watch it on the television; but to see it with your own eyes is another thing....MAGNIFICENT!

Daytona Beach

The most lovely time ever...walking along the beach, stopping for a drink or a snack, playing in the waves and just relaxing. I will always treasure the time Roy and I spend on Daytona Beach.

Chip 'n Dale

Characters roam around and go to their stations for pictures and autographs. If lines were super long, we would just take a picture in between sessions. These two were kinda cute.

The Haunted Mansion

The Haunted Mansion is cool. You ride in cars that go through the mansion. Apparently, they had to make it not so scary because it was scaring children too much. It is okay...not my favorite....but okay. Actually, the house itself is more interesting for me. I enjoyed the queue line and goofing around in it better.

My First Rollercoaster

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was my first ever rollercoaster. It was fun...that is until I got on the next one. Roy made sure he started me on the smallest one and worked me up to the largest one.

I am sorry I haven't blogged for such a long time. I (as most of you) have been extremely busy. I hope to step up the pace a bit and blog more often. I hope everyone is doing well. I am busy teaching Grade 7 this year while still working at Just Scrap It. Those things along with having a friend in Regina whom I like to visit, keeps me busy. Let's all hope for a wonderful fall and Christmas season.

New School Pictures

I am really glad that the schools have decided to go with the company they have for school pictures lately. I have picked the sepia toned ones lately. I think they look awesome. I went feminine with Sky's picture and plain old masculine for Lucas. Fun new paper.

Boots & Mama Mia

I have begun to wear boots. The more I wear boots, the more I want to wear boots. Then I was told about a boot sale and ran out and got some more boots. Since I had been wanting to use this paper, it was the perfect opportunity for me go for it.


Roy and I went to Mama Mia a short time ago. It was amazing. I really enjoyed a live musical.

Finally a Teenager

Well, I have four teenagers for the moment. Within a few weeks Faith will be 20 years old. Lucas was excited to finally become a teenager. With it, he received a cell phone from Faith and a PS3 with Call of Duty. He is really growing up fast.

Tennis Anyone?

I used the new Cambridge line from Bo Bunny. I finally found some paper that worked with my pictures of Roy and I playing tennis this summer. I used fun flock and fuzzied up the tennis ball in the top corner.

Christmas Cards

I have decided to make some Christmas Cards with my Scrapbooking Club at school. So, I prepared everything for about 26 of them to make this week. Let's cross our fingers that it all works out okay.
