Nat Nat and Parker Reunited! Part 2

Day 2 in Orlando and we got to go to Universal!  Daddy was super excited!

 Mom and Aaron were very excited to go to Harry Potter world.  We got to See the Hogwarts Express.

 There was even a Hogwarts student choir complete with singing frogs.

 Pretty Castle!  Too bad Mom and I didn't get to go inside.  I was not tall enough for the big ride and mom was too pregnant. 

 Butterbeer, Pumpkin Juice and Chocolate frogs!  Yeah, we tried them all!

 Even the students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons were wondering around the area.  They must have been pretty hot cause it was like 83 that day!

 Mom and Jen got a quick photo with the Cat in the Hat

 I also had a quick chat with the Cat.

 He was very friendly.  Nat was not as excited about him as I was.

 We ate lunch in Dr. Seuss' World and caught a glimpse of the Grinch.

 After lunch we went back to Harry Potter world to get wands!

 Jackson's at the castle drinking Butterbeer.

 Daniels' family at the castle with Butterbeer, Wand and I even got a dragon!  I did not want a cute fluffy owl when I could get a dragon with lots of spiky teeth. 

 Another busy day and it knocked Nat and I out by 3pm.  We let the Daddy's stay and do rides while we headed back home to Melbourne. 

 After our nap we had a little energy to go to the playground at the apartment.

 Then it was off to the beach!  The Jackson's had been here 5 days and we had not made it to the beach yet.  I needed to be sure they experienced that too!

 I was sure to bring my buckets and shovels so Nat and I could play.  Aaron did his fair share of playing in the sand too.

 Jen got a few minutes to soak up the sun. She even got a little sunburn in November!

 A little sand with crackers never hurt anyone... although it was a considerably more crunchy snack. 

 They turned Nat into a Mermaid!  They tried to get me but I was too wiggly!

 I much preferred Peek-A-Boo in the giant hole Aaron dug for us.

 Girls in a hole! I hope we can get out...

 Then it was our turn to bury Aaron.  He was pretty good at holding still.

 They day before they left, we took a trip to the zoo.

 We were sporting our Thing 1 & Thing 2 shirts from Universal.

 We were very brave petting the snake.  I was apparently a little too brave because I gave it a squeeze and Aaron had to step in.

Mine and Nat's last day together in Florida.  She was dressed for the plane in long sleeves!  I guess I'll have to find some long sleeves for when I go visit her!  I can't wait for Thanksgiving, I get to see Nat again and the Johnson's!  I'm sure I will have lots to blog about after that!

Nat Nat and Parker Reunited! Part 1

Yay! The Jackson's arrived in sunny Florida for a week!  I didn't waste any time and took Nat to show her my new town.  I took her to a local playground and showed her where they are going to build our new house!

This is Dad on the property we are building a house on.  Someday we will be able to enjoy the sunset from the patio on the house!

 Daddy might be King of the Rock but I am the princess!

 I am getting really good at climbing.  It must be the gymnastics.

 Nat showed off her climbing skills too!

 What a cool tunnel!

 I am swinging like a monkey!

 Whee!!! The slide!  It's Nat's turn next!

 Chilling in the apartment.  Waiting for our parents to get ready to go to Sea World!

 At the gates at Sea World we are ready for a great day filled with whales and shows!

 Maybe I was a little excited....

 Nat and her parents, Jen and Aaron, ready to watch the Shamu show.

 I know I've seen it but I still love it!

I know I am bias but this has got to be one of the cutest videos ever! You can really tell that Parker and Nat missed each other!  This was day two together while at Sea World.  The song from the show was "side by side"  Jen and I were almost in tears!

 Our Daddy's took us on rides!  I really liked the spinning bubble cups!  We went on it at least 3 times!

 Nat was brave and rode a manatee!  I was not feeling it today so I just sat on the Sea horse bench with Dad.

Nat had to stop and smell the flowers!

I was pooped by the end of the day!  I was also trying to power up for the next day.  We went to Universal's Adventure Park.  I'll get those pictures up soon!

Mom took a trip without me?!?

I was looking though Mom's photos and discovered a bunch that I did not recognize.  Earlier this month Mom was gone for a few days and I have now discovered where she was.  She took a trip to Las Vegas and saw Serena get married!

This is Mom and Aunt Anna before the wedding.  They were both in it. 

 Serena and Mom have been friends since they were in 5th grade.  She was a very pretty bride!

 The wedding was supposed to be outside but it was raining so it was moved indoors. 

 They did get some pictures outside after the ceremony. 

 Serena and Etenne look so happy together! 

They even had cake without me!  I guess it is ok, Mom did bring me back an airplane toy which I really like.

Halloween Rewind

Halloween is a great Holiday! If you put on a costume and got a neighborhood they give you candy!  Jack and I had a lot of fun running around the neighborhood and collecting candy. 

 The day before Halloween, Mom and Dad too me to Boo at the Zoo!  I got to do more running around in my costume and see other kids dress up in their costumes too!

 Daddy put me up on his shoulders so I could see the juggler. 

I think my extra set of legs got in his way.

 

 

 I also got to pet a snake!

 And do a little dance!

 Hope everyone had a great Halloween!  I sure did!
