Animal Kingdom - Disney World 2011-2012

It's been a while since I've posted on our family blog, but I decided I need to get on the ball and start showing our pictures before ALL the kids are grown up!

We had a wonderful Christmas and we enjoyed every moment of the holidays. This year, right after Christmas, we went to Florida to go to Disney World. Abby has never been there and Timothy was only four when we were there last and doesn't remember very much about it. Thankfully, Sarah and Mandie were old enough to have very vivid memories. So, we decided that the time has come to take another family vacation to Disney!

We left Thursday after Christmas and drove two days to get there, but we finally made it! The day after we arrived we thought there was no reason to wait, so off to Disney we went. The first park we went to was The Animal Kingdom. We were fortunate enough to have beautiful weather the whole time we were there, except for one day that was in the low 30's. We took a much needed day of rest that day and stayed at the condo. We enjoyed that immensely since our feet were sore from all the walking. :)

Here are some random pictures from Animal Kingdom. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to move my pictures around on the blog to make them go in order since Blogger changed their format, which of course I couldn't figure out. But, here are a few pictures...


This is the restaurant we ate at.
This tour guide is holding an actual imprint of a tiger's paw. Huge!



We got to go on an African Safari ride. We got to see a baby elephant! A highlight of the ride!! So cute!!!

Camping Trip - May 2008 - Hugo Lake State Park

Our camping trip to Hugo Lake State Park in Hugo, Oklahoma was wonderful! We arrived Thursday night, May 1, and stayed for the weekend. It was a beautiful cabin with a gorgeous view from the wrap-around patio. We had a great time riding bikes, playing frisby, playing chicken foot (a dominos game) at night, roasting marshmallows and making s'mores. We called it our "critter vacation" because we had a little furry house guest. We only saw him that one day, but as we were cleaning up to come home, we saw some "evidence" that he was still in the cabin. Anyway, we survived the mouse and still had a wonderful time!

Below are tons of pictures that we took. I hope you enjoy them. Let us know what you think.
