Trick or Treat?

Last night was my first Halloween and I was very excited.

I was a dinosaur and when I put my costume on ready to go out trick or treating I discovered you could push a button in the paw to make it roar!

I collected lots of candy from houses around our 'neighborhood' and mummy and I walked down to the park where they had a bonfire

I have already started planning my costume for next year...

listening to my costume roar!

On the road

The Fed shut-down meant we couldn't see into the Fort at St Augustine but the outside was pretty cool. The bricks were full of seashells!

We followed the Buccaneer Trail from St Augustine to Brunswick

At Tybee Island we discovered that I'm a stage 3 storm surge

On the trolley tour of Savannah

Enjoying a refreshment at the Pirate's House of Treasure Island fame - being careful to keep my wits about me and not get Shanghsi'ed

Disney Part 3

Our last day at Disney started with a trip to the Monster's Inc Laugh Floor

It was very cool to see Mikey telling jokes and he even told one I texted in!

We saw the White Rabbit ,,,







and rode on the Buzz Lightyear ride










ut after the carousel the skies opened and it bucketed down









I loved standing in the rain and stomping the in puddles









After lunch we went to visit the Little Mermaid and visited Belle's village and the tower from Tangled before heading back to our room to get ready to head out for Daddy's birthday dinner







I slept through most of it but I woke up just as dinner was ending and danced with Mummy through Downtown Disney




Disney Part 2

We spent our second day at Disneyworld in the Animal Kingdom
Just before we walked through the gates they started playing "Bear Necessities" which made me smile
The first animal we encountered was a black swan - it's from Australia just like me
Walking through the African section of the park we discovered the Wilderness Activity book and I was determined to gather as many 'badges' as possible







On Safari we rode in a bumpy jalopy and saw crocodiles, rhinos, flamingos, zebras and more








I was just tall enough to ride the rapids ride and Mummy and I got soaked!









The bit I was most looking forward to was Dinoland USA where you can go on a dig and find fossils - but I fell asleep on our way.
Finished the day with a swim in the pirate pool and cheese pizza - yum!
