We have our dates for August!!

We just found out that I get my new dog August 12-21!!! I am so excited. I will get an email about a week prior to going from my dog to introduce him(her)self to me. I'll keep you all posted.

A New Puppy for Mary!

My friend Mary and her family Quinton and Quillan got a new black lab puppy! His name is Marley and he is so sweet. I got to see him and hold him, and then I got to show my Mom and Dad the birds, Fred and Baby Too.

Here is where I liked to hang out in the Villa, in bed.

The sea lions at SeaWorld

They were yelling at us for fish, it was very funny.

We are home

We are back to snow and freezing temps. The trip home was rough. I slept a little on the big plane, and then we dashed through the Mpls airport to get to our gate, to have our flight delayed by 2 hours. I am at school today, but I'm very tired. I'll put more pictures on later.

Final day in Florida

Well, its over now but the flying. I got up late, ate some breakfast, and took another nap. We went to Sea World around 2. What a great place. We saw lots of birds, dolphins, that we got to feed, penguins, sea lions and sea otters, sharks, and lots of fish. We got to see a show with some really smart sea lions. The weather was fine for it with my blanket and my coat. The internet is terrible here, so I will wait to put some pictures on til tomorrow, maybe in the airport. (Are there hackers there?) Oh, and we fed the sea lions too, and a bird attacked Jacob and the Sea World lady had to get it away from us. That was hilarious. I was really tired again, but we came back and had some Target salads and ordered pizza. Did I tell you that we can order pizza here and its free? Its pretty good too, lots of cheese. Nice people deliver it to your door. My Mom and Jacob went over and played the Dino Putt, they said it was cool. I guess we missed out on some stuff here, and forgot that Sponge Bob was here tonight. Oh well, its so hard to fit it all in. My Mom can't wait to see Molly, but doesn't want it to be cold. Thanks for all of your comments, its been so fun having you be a part of my trip.

The Animal Kingdom

Birds at the Animal Kingdom

Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Goofy

The horse named Cody

Alice from Wonderland

The nice dog named Charlotte

The life sized Candyland

Wow, a full day and I'm tired and not being very nice. We got up late this morning and its chilly, but covered up in the wheelchair and headed over to see Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. When we turned the corner, there they were with Pluto and Goofy and Alice from Wonderland. They were all very nice to me. Alice held my hand and talked to me in her British accent. She is very pretty. We went in for the formal pics, and then wheeled over to the Korral. I left my pajamas on all day. I had my fleece on and my new Tinkerbell Blanket on my legs. At the Korral there were 2 horses and a pony. I got to ride the horse named Cody for about 5 minutes. The people were very nice, and the lady that owned the horses had on her winter coat. These Florida people are silly. We came back to the Villa and woke Jacob up again (at 11) so we could go to the Animal Kingdom. There are so many animals. We rode the Safari Ride, saw some acrobats and African musicians, and went to the Bug 3-D movie. By then I was way too tired, so we came back for a nap. I want to go to Skate West. My parents can't believe it, but I do. My Mom is going to get a massage and a pedicure after we get home. I'm not sure about my Dad, and Jacob is going to go back to Iowa City so he can sleep when he wants to. We are eating lots of the free ice cream and scrambled eggs. We'll see how tomorrow goes, it might be kinda chilly again.
