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!

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.

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!

My friends Abby and Eva also visited the lake house.

And I got to see my Patterson cousins again!

Yay, summer! It was a great one!

Summer of 2010 Part One

Ok, so I am trying to catch up on the blog. I had such a busy summer. I kicked off my summer with a Disney cruise to the Mediterranean. Here I am, waiting in the airport, getting ready for our day and night of flying to Barcelona, Spain.

When I got to Spain, I was so excited to get off the airplane (and so tired), I was even excited to see a McDonald's.

Mom, Dad and I found this cool park in Barcelona near our hotel. The slides were fantastic!

Finally we got on the cruise ship and I hooked up with my cousins, Laura, Katherine and Audrey. We had so much fun together!

This is Smooth-E, he was a comedian on the ship and his shows were the funniest ever! Katherine and I made up a song called the "flip flop song" and we sang it for him after one of his shows. Doesn't he look like Uncle Brian?

Just goofing around.

Ok, so I like to take pictures of feet. Here are a bunch of feet all over the Mediterranean. This is one of Katherine's and one of mine.

Laura's!

Two of mine, one of Katherine's.

Mine!

Mine and Mom's!

I Love My Cousins!

Laura ordered fish in Malta, and she got two whole fish (heads, tails and all)! She said they were delicious!

Katherine and I in Carthage, Tunisia.

Coke in Tunisia!

Mom and I in Capri, Italy. It was beautiful and really hilly!

Dad and I in Sorrento, Italy at a little outdoor cafe.

Pompeii was amazing! It was one of my favorite stops. I loved seeing the old city and the destruction caused by Mt. Vesuvius.

Mom and I in the Coliseum in Rome. WOW! It was so big!

These are the guards outside Vatican City, seriously!

Dad and I in Rome, there are Egyptian Obelisks everywhere in Europe.

Dad and I in Florence, Italy. I had the best ice cream in Florence, it was nutella flavored and had a cookie in the bottom of the cone!

Pisa was so-so. It was neat to see, but I expected more.

Monaco was beautiful!

Audrey and I in Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Dad and I checking out the view in Monaco.

Dad celebrated his birthday on the ship and this is the dessert they brought him!

I loved our servers! They were so nice and funny. This is Ivan, from Hungary.

This is Yadira, from the Dominican Republic.

I really loved swimming in the sea in Barcelona after the cruise too! I was like a mermaid!

Thanks Mom and Dad, for the fun trip!
