Road Trip - 1st Stop NC!

We set off on our yearly drive to Michigan on Friday.  Our first stop is to see Brian's parents in North Carolina.  We were lucky to be able to see Brian's friend and Bryn's godfather, Casey, and his wife Ashli too.  The weather was colder than we had hoped and my camera was packed away in the back of the car (along with everything else we might just need in the next 3 months), so the only pictures I have are courtesy of Brian's cousin, Sean.

We had a great time in North Carolina.  We are lucky to be able to break up the drive with such great people and activities, Bryn loved the boat rides!    We wish all the love and safety to Casey as he heads to Afghanistan in the upcoming week.  And thanks again to the Flanagans!

And now, off to Michigan!!!!

Animal Kingdom

A few weeks ago my friend Becky came into town and we decided to go to Animal Kingdom.  

 Becky giving Bryn a ride when we first got there.

 Looking for gorillas 

 She loved all the fish!

 On the Safari Tour, which was the best part of the day.  

We even did it twice thanks to fast passes!

 The giraffes got even closer than this to us!

 Banging on the drums in Africa

 We cooled down with some water and waited for the parade.

Pooh, Eyeore, and Tigger were at the character station.  Bryn liked them from afar but was not excited about seeing them close up!  Maybe next year...
