Spring Break 2009

Wow! What a fun time we've been having lately. Pappaw, Granna, and Aunt Jamie came a few weeks ago for their Spring Break, then we had our Pryor cousins come too. We had a great time together.

Trinity turned 1 on April 5th. We had a great time celebrating her birthday and even went to Kado for a hibachi lunch with the Lowes. The man sprayed silly string in Trinity's face and gave us ice cream. The next morning we headed to Gainesville to see Austen, Aunt Mimi, and Uncle Billy. We had a blast. Daddy and mommy surprised us with a pizza dinner and a trip to see Monsters versus Aliens. It was so good. The next morning we had lunch with some of mommy's friends Ralph and Joan. Mommy and daddy talked a long time but I had some good eats. We headed to Orlando and checked into a hotel to get ready for Walt Disney World.

So we went to Magic Kingdom first. I got a 1st visit pin that I put on my hat and we rode the Ferry boat across. Around lunch time I told mommy that I had 3 wishes: 1. to have lunch, 2. to get a lollipop, 3. to see some friends. All three of my wishes came true because we had lunch at a restaurant where mommy's friend Will waited on us, I bought a 6 pack of cool lollipops, and Austen surprised me by meeting us there in the afternoon with Aunt Mimi and Nanny.

Now for the list of rides we went on - Magic Carpet Ride, Haunted Mansion (I thought the ghosts were scary and I wouldn't go on this again), Pirates of the Caribbean, Thunder Mountain, Stitch's Great Escape, Carousel of Progress, Buzz Lightyear ride (Trinity's favorite), Jungle Cruise (we did it @ night which was cool), It's a Small World, Peter Pan, and Mickey's Philhar Magic. I loved the Pirates of the Caribbean ride a whole lot. I was able to buy a treasure box with my souvenir money that I had saved from Christmas. I filled the treasure box up with all sorts of things and even got some things to share with others. I love it so much! The characters we saw were Stitch, Buzz Lightyear, Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Smead, and Donald Duck. I was asleep by the time we left and didn't realize that we rode the monorail.

The next day I decided to go to Hollywood Studios. We began the day with a character breakfast featuring Leo and June (Little Einsteins) and JoJo and Goliath (JoJo's Circus) from Playhouse Disney. We had super yummy food and filled our bellies up (they had Mickey Mouse shaped waffles!) until dinner time and I had a blast meeting the characters, getting them to sign my book, and dancing with them. We even got cupcakes to celebrate Trinity's birthday.

The rides/show we went on/saw were Star Tours (I got to ride twice because Trinity couldn't go), Muppets 3D, Sounds Dangerous, Toy Story 3D, Little Mermaid show, Stunt Cars show (my favorite), A Walk Through of Walt Disney's Life, Movie Ride, Honey I Shrunk the Kids Playground, Prince Caspian show (terrible!!!), Playhouse Disney show featuring Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Little Einsteins, Handy Manny, and My Friends Tigger and Pooh. I saw a lot of characters at Hollywood Studios: JoJo, Goliath, Leo, June, Annie, Goofy, Pluto, Mickey Mouse, Bolt, Frozone, Lightning McQueen, Tow Mater. We also went through an animation class and mommy and I drew Pluto. My drawing was selected to be shown on the screen for the whole class to see. I bought a drawing book and I also made my own Light Saber. That night daddy bought me a Mickey Mouse shaped ice cream sandwich and we watched the Fantasmic show where Mickey Mouse defeats the bad guys. I told daddy that the bad guys were no match for Mickey! Oh and we ate dinner at Pizza Planet from Toy Story. We watched birds eat our pizza crumbs there.

We had lunch the next day with Ms Katherine and headed to Papa and Nanny's. I played with Austen even more. We had Trinity's birthday party on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. I had a bunch of family from both sides there. 3 of 4 great grandmothers, 1 great grandfather, and both sets of grandparents were there. Trinity got a lot of cool toys that I'm enjoying as well. I had lots of cake and went swimming several times.

The next morning was Easter and the Easter Bunny treated me right with lots of stuff including a few Legos, Madagascar 2 DVD, Super Smash Brothers Melee, chocolate bunnies, Fun Dip, a catch game, and more. We headed home and had 2 surprises - lunch with Pappaw, Granna, and Grandma Speed and dinner with the Lowes.

I couldn't imagine a better Spring Break!
