We made our fair share of mischief… but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.  Thank you for the great time Ivan (and Ivan's Mama and baby sis).

SunblockWhen Nana and Auntie went to work we went to the Museum…  I climbed like a spider… (yes, to climb like a spider you must stick out your tongue) 2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 142Grace was really good at balancing the balls on air… 2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 156I made a different game with the moving air… 2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 162We also did a little state boarding…. 2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 183and flying….2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 191And cog turning.  My favorite parts were these larger-than-life cogs, the conveyer belt and the caves. 2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 229In sum, a great day with my cousin Grace. 2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 259Overall, I had a great time with Grace… I taught her how to use the potty and she taught me how to fix my hair. ; )

2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 281We fed the birds, goats, giraffes, and felt the slimy sting rays.  2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 347The next day we were off to Disney.  We started our day with Downtown Disney and the T-Rex CafĂ©.  Spooky and fun! 2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 432

2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 441Our final vacation day was at Animal Kingdom.  I met Minnie… and saw lots of Animals.

2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 486

We ended our trip on a scary and sad note.  Myron fell off Dada’s shoulders and landed head-first on the cement.  He experienced his first (and hopefully last) ambulance ride, ER visit, and CAT Scan.  imageMyron recovered quickly from the concussion and we ended our stay with a boat and mono-rail ride.
