Disney

This year we visited the Magic Kingdom. We started our day with a boat ride and a warm cup of coco at Gaston's house.

And then we were off to ride Dumbo

And buy our Disney souvenir

Then it was time for another boat ride.. some hiking, climbing, and a parade!

One of our last rides was the Bell ride. Little did we know it wasn’t a ride at all but a mini-play – and I was one of the characters! Chip the cup.

After our show… (with a little help from my new friend)… I showed Bell my Gaston arms.

And then I met the REAL Gaston!

Christmas in Florida

I love Christmas in Florida… water, sand, sun… what’s not to love.

Philippi Park

Clearwater Beach

Tree Climbing with Mama

Oh… and don’t for get the presents… and presents.. and presents!

At the top of my list this year was a remote control boat, hex bugs, and a manatee tree ornament.

Our first attempt with the boat was not very successful.

But the next day we found calmer waters… it was awesome!

Swimming with Manatees!

We enjoyed some warm weather in FL for the holiday season this year. Or at least that was the plan. We scheduled a manatee tour… and it was 45 degrees! It was COLD but well worth it!

Our manatee swim was at 7AM so we stayed at a hotel close by… Grace and I had a blast!

The next morning we were up and in our wetsuits.

We were excited!

Now into the cold water….

I loved it… I snorkeled with Dada for over an hour and we saw so many Manatees! We have some great video, at one point there were so many manatees around I kept bumping into them.
