Trip to Florida - Part 5 - Disney World

We finished our trip at the Magic Kingdom - Disney World! Mommies were expecting this to be my favorite place, and I liked it, but I may have been a bit too young. It didn't take long before I became pretty overwhelmed by all of the noise and dancing and people. We did manage to go on several rides including Dumbo, Small World and a roller coaster that I was just barely tall enough to ride!! The best part of the day though was definitely meeting Mickey and Minnie! (and Tinkerbell!) Mommies are excited to take me back in a few years when I'm a little bit older!

We waited in line for a long time to get pictures with the fairies, and I was so excited, then I kind of froze once we got there. :)

The highlight of the day was definitely meeting Mickey and Minnie.

Giving Minnie a big hug!

Trip to Florida - Part 4 - Sea World

After Busch Gardens, we moved our Florida adventures over to Orlando to finish out our trip. Our first stop in Orlando was at Sea World. We had a really fun time! The highlights were definitely feeding the dolphins and watching the Shamu show. (thankfully, we were just outside of the "splash zone" at Shamu, so we stayed dry!)

Saying hi to Shamu on our way in to the park! (I was being a little shy at this point)

More "mingos"!

Beautiful dolphin!

Feeding the dolphin.

This was one of the coolest things ever! The dolphins were so nice!

I'm pretty sure he's saying "thank you". :)

Checking out the "sea-themed" merry-go-round.

Trip to Florida - Part 3 - Busch Gardens

After the wedding weekends, we headed to Tampa for a day to go to Busch Gardens. I absolutely LOVED it. It was definitely my favorite park that we went to all week. (and mommies favorite too!) They have a whole area created just for little ones like me! I was able to go on lots of fun rides, and I also got to meet several of my favorite Sesame Street characters and see lots of cool animals. I could write forever about how great this place was, but I'll let the pictures tell my story because there are a LOT of them. :)

Posing at the entrance.

Mommies couldn't believe how many of these rides I could go on by myself!

Saying hi to the ducks.

Checking out the flamingos.

Flamingos (or "mingos" as I like to call them) are so cool looking!

Riding along in my automobile...

Playing in the water.

More water time.

Posing with Elmo and Big Bird.

Checking out the water ride. (yet another one that Mommies couldn't believe I could do by myself!!)

This nice little girl let me go on a ride with her.

There was also a huge indoor climbing area. I loved jumping around in there.

The Sesame Street show. I was mesmerized and kept clapping excitedly!

Giving Cookie Monster a hug.

Hugging Abby.

...and now Zoey. :)

Posing with Zoey and Grover.

I love putting my arms up on rides now. :)

Being silly.

Checking out the alligators.

Trip to Florida - Part 2 - The Wedding and the Beach

The first part of our Florida trip was spent at the Sirata resort in St. Petersburg. This was my very first time seeing the beach and the ocean, so mommies were eager to see what I'd think. I think they could have predicted it though - it's a place full of sand and water. Count me in!

Mommy had a lot of wedding stuff to do, so it was mostly me and Mama hanging out. (and Mommy's friends) While we did spend some time on the beach, we spent the majority of our time at the pool. I turned into quite a little fish this trip! Last summer I couldn't keep myself upright in my life jacket, now I can swim from one end of the pool to the other. (and I love to yell at Mommy's, "I'm a FISH!!") Mommy was so happy that I got to spend so much time with her friends too since I was meeting a lot of them for the first time ever! We all had such a nice time that mommies are already planning our next trip to Florida in a couple of years! :)

First few footsteps in the sand.
