A Fun Day

Shayne and I decided to spend some time at Purina Farms to watch the Dog Agility National Championship.
It was okay to take dogs so Star came along. When she noticed the dogs "working" she watched with excitement and cried because she wanted to play with them.

We then went to Lone Elk Park and saw Buffalo
and 3 Elk. One was in the water when we 1st arrived but the picture wasn't that great.
The weather was perfect and Shayne said that the whole thing was very worth it. He and I plan on taking Star to a dog park tomorrow. We went last week and she loved it.

Great Job Shayne

Shayne is doing great so far this school year. He had 3 A's, 3 B's and 1 C. He still loves school. I cannot tell you how proud we are of him. He is really making an effort. Way to go Buddy!!

Disney World

The Magical Kingdon
Steve spoke to Donald in his "Donald Duck" voice and Donald got so excited that he pulled Steve up there to have his picture taken with him. Steve wasn't even in line. We never found Mickey so that Steve could talk to him too.
Splash Mountain. Marsha, Shayne and I were the only ones to ride. We got the front rows of the car.
Groovy hats.

We had a great day at the Magical Kingdom. It wasn't crowded at all. The longest wait for any ride was 10 minutes. Marsha, Shayne and I rode Space Mountain 2 x's in a row without a line at all. It took us longer to walk up to the ride than to even ride it. I loved it. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. September is a great time to go if you want to take a chance with hurricanes lurking around.

Our Favorite Day.........Sea World

SeaWorld was our favorite day. Feeding the Stingrays was pretty neat. I was a little squimmish about it but it was fun. They feel very slimy. Shayne LOVED it. They are his favorite sea animals. We watched the whale and dolphin show and the famous Shamu show. We were mezmerized by both. We did get rained on some during the day but it was still wonderful. Disney World picture coming later.

Pictures #2

Shayne loved the beach. It seemed to be hard to get him out and the end of the day. We had really great waves and he loved diving into them, jumping over them and riding them. In fact, we all did. Of course I also enjoyed a little reading on the beach. We all three want to go back.....

Pictures #1

On the way down to Florida we stopped in Mobile,AL to visit our nephew Sean at Spring Hill College and visit the USS ALABAMA. We loved seeing Sean. He took us on a quick tour of campus and then we had dinner together. The ALABAMA was great. Lots of climbing steps inside the battleship. We also went inside a submarine which is the 2nd picture above. More pictures later. I took well over 500. YIKES!
