kv0925As promised, some photos from the past couple weeks!
Weekend before last, I took Hallie to Disney's Hollywood Studios for the Indiana Jones stunt show. We'd gone to it once before, and they only did half of it because it was rainy. Plus there's a rumor that Disney is going to close the show soon to make room for an expanded Star Wars area, so we wanted to make sure we saw it before that happens. I like the show a lot, I think Hallie did too. Being such a fan, how could she not?
Fun stuff. :)
After the show, we even had the chance to meet Indy and Marian! Knowing that she's shy, I asked Hallie if she wanted to go say hello, and she said she didn't know. Figuring her excitement might overcome her shyness, I said what the heck. The actors were incredibly nice and patient, but (as you can see) Hallie just wasn't having it. Oh well, all things in time, I guess.
That Sunday morning I loaded up my kayak and went to Wekiwa Springs again. I didn't want to do another Paddling Diaries entry since this is my usual spot and I know it's getting boring. But it's just the closest, easiest spot, and always a very nice paddle. Especially this time, when I had the river completely to myself--usually I meet some folks coming upstream as I head out, or at least some heading out as I go back upstream myself. This time I saw no one until I got back to the launch, which was awesome. It was also the first time I was brave enough to take a better lens--I'm still not brave enough to take my best camera and top-shelf gear, but maybe someday. :)
The gator up above was a big one, I'd say 7 or 8 feet. I also saw an otter or two, which is always fun. This is a green heron.
Pied-billed grebe, cute little guys.
Red-shouldered hawk and the moon.
Belted kingfisher, one of my favorite birds.
After I got home from kayaking, we headed out for lunch (Fuddrucker's, mmmm) and to Bass Pro Shop for their Santa thing.
Amy's not shy at all when it comes to this stuff!
And after that we were feeling brave so we headed to the Magic Kingdom for a bit. Tom Sawyer Island is always fun.
And Hallie got to drive!
At Fun Spot.
And that's it for now. Thanks for looking!
