Christmas Vacation

Yea!  Disney World was disneyrific! 

Years ago at a Riverbats game, Buddy Bat came near to where we were seated.  Mary took off in one direction, to go home with Buddy Bat, and Bonnie bolted.  It was funny and scary at the same time.  From that time we have avoided all characters and clowns.

Things have changed, but only a little.

Bonnie hid away from Minnie.  

Sweet, shy demure, give you kisses, Minnie

But Stitch, that was different.  

She still wasn't 

getting too close.

We stayed in the park for three days and had a magical time.

For all the magic that is Disney, the fun continued after we left.

On Christmas Eve we were picked up by a world class limo service on route to Ft. Meyers Beach.  Both sets of grandparents had to meet us because of all the luggage. ( We can't go many places in one car.)  

Christmas was "diffrn't but goood!"

The sun was warm,  

The sand was soft,

and the water was delightful. 

Maw maw, Paw paw, Mee maw, and Grampy,

swimming, shopping, and sunbathing.

It just doesn't get much better than this.

But wait there's more!

Included in this deluxe vacation package you also get snow!

A blizzard had hit right before our plane landed in Boston.

Then on the way back they got 8 more inches!

It was so beautiful and our sleeping quarters couldn't have been 

any nicer.  We stayed with Randy's cuz Christopher and his wife

Anne Marie.  They not only put us up, they fed us and taxied us around.

The only sad part of this saga is poor little Ethel.  Instead of being stuck in a crate for 5 hours in the cold, and adjusting to a strange world, she had to stay back in Florida with Pat and Irvin.

 At Lake Okeechobee, in the sun, with Pat cooking her whole turkeys, and Irvin feeding her twinkees.

  As long as she isn't attacked by a fast alligator, she's going to be a happy pup.

Maybe in my next blog I'll figure out how not to underline.
