I just realized that my 3rd year Blogging anniversary just passed by -

Happy Anniversary Dear Blog :)

I've been trying to get my life a little more organized since school has begun. My summers aren't the time to breathe let alone get my act together. I have Girl's Camp at the beginning of summer and then I teach sewing & cake classes all summer long. So now that all that's over for the time being (still always lurking in the corners of my mind), I can get some things done.  Yesterday I felt all tech-savvy and installed more memory on the iMacs in our house. I love the speed it has given me - I'm a little giddy about it all! I'm in debates with myself on purchasing iMac #4 for the house - I don't know the excuse for another one but I'm trying ;)

Summer Trip 2011

We did the killer four days at Disney - a different park a day! I would never recommend doing it that way unless you love Disney - which I do. I guess attending high school in Florida and then living in So. California ignited some kind of Disney obsession in me ;)  We had a ton of fun even though it's always hot and humid - not as bad as we live with daily here in Texas though.

 Monkeying around in the Toy Story ride!

 The New York City Subway??!!  Just a movie set at Hollywood Studios

 My Disney expert friend, Nicole, recommended taking this drawing class at Hollywood Studios. We loved it so much that we did it twice - learned to draw Pooh Bear and then Woody from Toy Story. Don't you love the cute desks? Disney details - they're awesome!

 Tess trying on a Yeti wig after the Everest Roller Coaster at Animal Kingdom - our favorite ride of all the parks (at least us girls - the boys loved Rockin' Roller Coaster)

 Toy Story ride - really cute and clever - we were rockin' the 3-D glasses :)

Jose and kids on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom - 

We heart Disney!!

After our Disney marathon, we went to visit my Dad in Sarasota. He lives near to Siesta Beach (voted #1 in the US this year) so we went everyday. Jose let Marisa and Ryan go parasailing one day - that would seriously give me a stroke! I don't know how they braved something like that?! 1,200 feet in the air - yikes!

 The crew would bring them down and dunk them a few times - they loved it!

 They had about 10 dolphins playing around their boat

Tess and Ryan taking off on the boogie boards - they loved the clear warm water. It was nice because we didn't have to keep an eye out for jellyfish like when we go to Destin's beaches. It was a great trip!!
