Florida!

I went on a family vacation with Mom and Dad to Florida from November 11th to November 18th! We went down to Orlando to see the sights and hang out with the Daniels.
This was the first flight that I had a seat of my own! I had a great time and it was a short enough flight that I didn't get bored.
I even had a time to sneak a quick cat nap.
I got to sit in the window seat too!
Florida weather is different than Ohio weather. I had a chance on the first day there to go to the playground.....and wear shorts and a t shirt!
That Sunday we went to Sea World. We got there when the park opened and stayed until it closed. I got to see almost all of the animal shows that day.
The big Shamu show was fun to watch.
But the people around us we watching me and Parker!
Sea World had some fun rides for kids too.
Dad was happy that I found a manatee to ride.
Strangely enough, even with the 80 degree weather they were decorated for Christmas and playing Christmas music!
I had reached a point at the end of the day when I was really tired! I won an otter at the games and Parker had a giant penguin pirate.
Believe it or not, I also went on this tall ride! I am getting quite adventurous!
More Christmas decorations, and a rare group shot!
The following day we went to Universal's Islands of Adventure. The big attraction there was Harry Potter. Here I am with Amy, Parker, and Dad in front of the Hogwart's Train.
There was a huge Dr. Seuss area too. Parker really liked the Cat and the Hat, but I wasn't so sure.
The Suessical Carousel was lots of fun! I rode a Horton hears a Who elephant...
There was even a One Fish, Two Fish ride and it was plenty wet to cool us off.
I got a magic wand and here I am showing it off in front of the Harry Potter Castle.
Amy is showing off her wand and Matt is enjoying some Butter Beer.
It was a very long day......here Parker and I are leaving Universal.
I had a chance to go to the library with Parker and they had a play fire truck.
The local zoo let us feed giraffes crackers. They were very close to us!
Giraffes have long sticky tongues!
Thing 1 and Thing 2!
Parker's apartment complex had a nice pool. And even though it wasn't as warm that day, Dad took me for a swim. Here I am practicing my laps.
Parker was a daredevil and liked jumping off the edge. She was a good instructor. It was a great week full of fun and friends!!
