Knitting fun!

I have been having fun with my new hobby - knitting!  I took a hat class a few months ago and I have been busy making several for my family since.  Here I am after the class.
While I was at the class, Kaylynn was petting the alpacas out back!
Here are my recent projects:

I also made this scarf and mittens for Kaylynn!
I accept requests for new projects!

There have been some requests to get this video on the blog so here it is.  This is my first big wreck while using my new GoPro camera.  Enjoy!

Disney Vacation - Part II

Get ready for a bunch of pictures!!

On our first full day in Orlando we went to Animal Kingdom.  Of course, there was a beautiful tree out front.
 
We started the day with having breakfast with Donald and friends.
 
 
 
The food is always entertaining!
The Tree of Life is in the middle of the park. 

On our way to Kaylynn's favorite ride!
  On their way up!
And coming down!
This was in The Tree of Life.  It has all sorts of animals carved in it.


This is exactly how I like to spend Christmas!  Palm trees and sun!  (Cory would not necessarily agree!!)
We went over to the safari ride, which is always fun!

These are for Grandma!
 



We had a lot of fun on this trip looking for "Hidden Mickey's".  Here are two we found.
We also met Raffiki!

Kaylynn watched the vets taking care of a turtle for awhile.  Apparently we missed a lion that was having work done earlier that day.
That evening we had dinner with all the characters again!  They changed clothes at least!



 
The next day we went back to Magic Kingdom.

I really love the castle.  Don't let the sunshine fool you - it was quite chilly!
 
 
Here is Kaylynn's other favorite ride!
A skywriter was working on a note while we were riding around on the train!
Back at the tree!
We went to the Grand Floridian for dinner and this was a real Gingerbread House that people stood in and sold gingerbread cookies out of!
We had dinner with Cinderella and her gang.
The step-sisters were hillarious and both LOVED Kaylynn's furry vest!


Back for our last night of Magic Kingdom fun. 
They had these laser light shows on the castle that were so cool but so hard to take pictures of!  I still tried, of course!
And then, the big finale!
Before we left to head to the airport the next day we took in some mini-golf!
We had a blast on our trip and can't wait to go back again!!
