My kid, the ham, volunteers to be in the street show.

Arrived at the magic Kingdom early enough to see the Mayor of Main Street open the park.

Dinner at the Spirit of Aloha where Patrick said he was tired...

...until they asked for volunteers.  He was the first on stage.

And Piglet.  :)

Nighttime at the Magic Kingdom

EPCOT Center - bathrooms and pubs, pretty much sums up our trip!  :)

Thanksgiving... a week before Christmas

I finally got around to uploading photos.  I realize Thanksgiving was nearly a month ago, but it was a great day with family and good food.

The One in Which Over a Month Has Passed

It's wrong that I neglect this blog.  It really is.  But life happens.  And it takes up time.  Days turn into weeks.  Weeks into months.  Already a holiday has passed, my favorite, actually.  We had a great Thanksgiving, made new memories.

And a vacation came and went.  Another great time, more memories.

And another holiday is upon us.  More memories to be made.

Soon I'll upload Thanksgiving and vacation photos.  I promise.

In the meantime, a little nugget from our trip.

A week of fun in the Florida sun.  Any guess where we went?
