Double Digits!

I got a birthday trip for my tenth birthday! My parents took me to Disney World!

I love watching the water show at this fountain in Epcot. I really like when the water "pops"!

LOVE the music in Epcot too!

We stayed at my favorite resort: the Beach Club! Stormalong Bay is so AWESOME!

Got my birthday pin, so everyone in the parks could say, "happy birthday"!

When we got back to our rooms the first night, there was a surprise banner on my door!

This is the back of the banner.

Mickey Mouse had come to my room and decorated it for my birthday! I was so surprised and excited, I couldn't believe my eyes!

This is the "cake" that Minnie gave me!

(which was actually hollow chocolate, but really yummy!)

Mickey left me this giant plush of himself, with a light up birthday necklace, and a signed autograph book!

Here's a big birthday box for me!

There was even a light up Tinkerbell.

And a signed framed picture of my two favorite characters!

Inside the box, was a pair of birthday ears with my name on the back!

I also got a singing balloon, that has Mickey Mouse singing happy birthday to me!

Just goofing around on my favorite ride.

Luckily my birthday is right by Thanksgiving, so we got to spend Thanksgiving at Disney World. We ate at a Thanksgiving buffet at The Dolphin resort.

I got to finally meet my first favorite Disney characters: Mike and Sully from Monsters Inc. This was my favorite movie when I was one and two years old!

Got my face painted for the first time at Disney.

It snowed at Hollywood Studios! The Osbourne Family Spectacle of Lights is amazing to see!

Over 5 million lights!

Cinderella's Castle looked spectacular too! Thanks Mom and Dad for a great Birthday trip!

I'll never be too old for Disney World!

Posing with Minnie on my birthday.

We went to The Melting Pot for my birthday dinner back at home. It's become a tradition, I've been there for three birthdays so far. I had a great birthday!

Fall 2010

Unfortunately, summer came to an end and I had to go back to school. Lucky, I look so stylin' in my school uniform!

Randolph Gray won the Championship for the second year in a row! This was after a rainy game where we slipped and slid our way to a victory, and got rewarded with a rainbow to end the game!

We went to Disney World for Fall Break again this year. Here I am, winning the hula hoop contest again.

Getting ready for nice relaxing bike ride on the trails around Wilderness Lodge.

Nice place for a picture on the trails near Wilderness Lodge.

Whoa! Then things went a little wrong. Bike crash on the trail! Who was steering that thing?

Getting ready to ride Pirates!

I LOVE Space Mountain!

Pretty picture.

I like this one better.

I love the lobby at Wilderness Lodge, but I hate looking over the rail up top.

Punk Pirate!

We had a ton of fun at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!

Oh no, we're about to hit the wall!

I love the Mouse!

We also went to Wizarding World at Islands of Adventure while we were there.

It's amazing!

Hogwarts! The HP ride is fantastic! We rode it twice before the park opened.

Holding Hedwig in the Owlery.

I met a Weasley in Zonko's.

I adopted a Pygmy Puff at Zonko's.

Butterbeer is so good, it's worth the mustache!

Even Mom thinks so!

Hanging out with some upper school kids from Hogwarts.

This was Island of Adventure's version of the Teacups. Wheee!

We had fun with these signs.

Especially this one.

Minnie, my baby loves to have her picture taken.

Mad Hatter and Red Queen on Halloween!

Crazy Parents!

Maisie checks Minnie's costume before she goes trick or treating.

I'm Frankie Stein from Monster High.

I think I look good in green.

Summer of 2010 Part Two

After my travels in the first part of the summer, it was time to have some great times around home. It was super hot this summer, so we spent plenty of time at our lake house; boating, tubing, swimming, surfing, anything to stay cool.

It was so hot, even the dogs didn't want to stay outside for long. Joey sat down on Bailey while they were waiting to go in the house.

Me, driving the jet ski!

My BFITW Jade, came to visit me for three weeks this summer! She lives in Berlin, Germany so we don't get to see each other very often. We had a great time together!

I also fulfilled one of my lifelong dreams this summer. It was to have a Lemonade Stand! We made almost $50 and it was so much fun!

The Lemonade Stand Crew: me, Ashley, Jade and my cousin, Kevin.

My cousins Kevin and Michael came to the lake house in July.

Kevin, me, Jade

Jade and I had a Hogwart's Night. We watched HP movies, dressed up in our best Hogwart's gear, and Mom made a Hogwart's Feast. We had squid ink spaghetti with perfect potion sauce, bat wings with cheese dip, broomstick breadsticks, and butterbeer! YUM!

We spent a lot of time cruising around in the golf cart, cranking the tunes!

Jade and I on the tube! We tubed a lot this summer.

Jade and I also had a Monster High night. Our best bad girls look!

Jade and I shopping at Bridge St.

My friends Abby and Eva also visited the lake house.

Ashley, Eva, me, Abby.

And I got to see my Patterson cousins again!
