Wonderful Visit

Our five whirlwind days with Lowell and Emily were fantastic.  We went to Universal Studios, the Giraffe Ranch, Magic Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios.  We also rode an airboat and ate at several very fine restaurants.  Oh, so much delicious eating!

Now they are home, safe and sound, and we are trying to get back to normal. I have blisters between two toes on the left foot and on the right heel.  That proves how much walking we did in the last five days.

Mark and I went to see Monsters University today.  it was really great.  Now we are home, recovering from all the fun!

Enjoy these pictures from the past few days.

After we picked them up at the airport, we went to the Beach Club for dinner at Cape May Buffet.  We also had a lovely walk completely around the lake.

Mark and I had a chance to meet two famous people!

Naturally lunch had to be here!

Lowell is just hanging out at Moe's Tavern in Springfield.

Time for some hugging.

This place is in Dade City.

First, we had a talk about hoofed animals and got to hold some antlers and various bones.

We fed ring-tailed lemurs!  Awesome.

And we fed rhinos!  These guys were so gentle.

You've got to admit this is an adorable face!

Watching the animals on safari.

Emily was very excited to feed a giraffe.

Lowell enjoyed it, too.

A tortoise encounter!

The Fennec Fox was Lowell's favorite critter of the day.

We saw two different nesting female alligators on the Air Boat ride.

The next day we headed into Magic Kingdom very early. 

Mark and I took the time to ride the trolley to the castle.

They saved the world from the evil Zurg in the Buzz Lightyear attraction.

Lunch in the Be Our Guest restaurant.

So cute.

Having Le Fou's Brew in Gaston's Tavern, where he uses antlers in all of his decorating.

At the Hollywood Studios, Lowell had to comply with his shirt!

YUMMY!

We ended the night with the Fantasmic show.

Fantasmic is fantastic!

Watching some TV while Mark makes pancakes for breakfast.

Mark and I wore our pirate shirts because we had planned to go to MK for the new pirate adventure game, but it got too late and there was too much rain.  We will have to do that another day.

Saying goodbye to Emily and Lowell at the airport.
