Spring Break '10

We decided to go to Disney World instead of skiing for Spring break this year! Mom and I got back from our Williamsburg trip, then we had a day to unpack and repack, and then we all got in the car and drove to WDW!

Mom and Dad splurged and got a one bedroom with an adjoining studio for me at Saratoga Springs. I had my own door, kitchenette, bathroom and bedroom all to myself. It was great!

I did my own dishes and made ice cubes in my freezer.

Ahhhh, I love being in Disney World!

This is a really neat arch near the House of Blues in Downtown Disney. It is so neat because there are all kinds of trinkets and name tags in the concrete.

Mom and I loved shopping in Little Missmatched.

We ate at the Wave in the Contemporary which was very good and had a neat waiting area. I got a pina colada (kid style) while we were waiting for our table.

Dad got chosen to be "that guy" in the Monsters Inc show. It was so funny! They kept putting the camera on him throughout the whole show and he was on the big screen and he kept sticking his tongue out! I laughed so hard!

We got to see the Flower and Garden Show at Epcot this time. It was amazing! The flowers were really beautiful and the topiaries were awesome!

Here Giraffe, want a kiss?

I thought these dolphins were so neat!

Mickey and Minnie had a really great garden!

They even added this playground for the Flower and Garden show.

I had to have a picture of the Hippo, my fav!

Hey Mom and Dad, look at me!

I took this picture with Dad's camera.

Anyone for a cuppa?

This one was pretty impressive too!

There were princess topiaries in some of the countries.

I had to do a Kim Possible mission while in Epcot. This time I did Japan and China.

Awww, so cute!

I'll take care of this pesky troll in Norway.

Or maybe Mom will take care of him by picking his nose!

Oh look, I discovered dinosaur bones in the Boneyard at Animal Kingdom.

I rubbed the Buddha's tummy for good luck in the Yak and Yeti.

The Buddha luck worked, I finally mastered chop sticks during lunch at the Yak and Yeti!

These are the handprints of a 6 year old Gorilla. I also finally got a hair wrap while in the Animal Kingdom.

On St Patrick's day we ate in the Sci-Fi Dine In Theater at Hollywood Studios. We even got a green car! This place is so fun!

I tried Mom's shamrock shake there. It was pretty good!

I love Minnie, she's my favorite character!

Mom and I always take a spin in the teacups! We love it and don't get dizzy!

We had brunch at 1900 Park Fare in the Grand Floridian. Alice was my favorite, she was so charming!

Mary Poppins was pretty sweet too! They both complimented me on my manners.

The Mad Hatter was really crazy! We saw the new Alice in Wonderland movie while we were in Disney World. It was wonderfully weird!

Mom's favorite characters!

I tried my best at pulling the sword out of the stone!

We'll be right back, Dad.

Goofing around in the caves on Tom Sawyer's Island. Ooooh, scary!

We played putt-putt at Fantasia Gardens. This was a first for me. Apparently I played when I was 2, but I don't remember. It was really fun!

My favorite Hippo again!

I got a hole-in-one on this one! YES!

This was one of the water features. Those buckets pour out water and you have to watch out!

The last day we were there it got really sunny and warm so after putt-putt, we went to the pool and spent the afternoon soaking up the sun and swimming.

The slide is pretty fun at Saratoga Springs! WHEEEE!

We had so much fun over Spring Break! I love Disney World!

Fourth Grade trip to Williamsburg, VA

In March, the fourth grade went on a class trip to Williamsburg, VA. We've been studying Colonial Williamsburg all year. It was very fun! We went on charter buses and had to get on the bus at 5:00 am to start our trip. On the bus trip there we all put our blankets over the seats and made "Tent City" where we all played in the aisles and on the floor. We elected a President and various city officials. I was a police woman.

On our first day in Colonial Williamsburg we split into smaller groups. My group had all girls. It was a fun day exploring the town and trying different Colonial jobs.

This is my teacher, Mrs Sandy. She is so nice! We went to Jamestown while we were there.

We are getting ready to go on our "ghost walk" through Colonial Williamsburg. We went into homes and listened to ghost stories. Some of them were pretty spooky!

Speaking of scary, this is an example of dinner at the Governor's House! YUCK!

We got to play with hoops like the Colonial children did.

Of course, they can also be used for Hoopin'!

We got to pick a trade to study before we came to Williamsburg. I picked "wigmaker". This is a really fascinating trade. I am so glad we don't have to wear wigs now. They are itchy.

I tried out the stocks, good thing they don't have these anymore. They are uncomfortable!

Mom's turn!

I got a colonial dress and bonnet. A lot of girls wear these around Colonial Williamsburg.

The Fourth Grade class.

On the bus ride home, we only had five girls on the bus, plus the Moms and Mrs Sandy. A lot of kids and parents flew home. We had a great time on the bus! It was a fun trip!
