Too Much

I've got a lot of catching up to do (that's what the title means), so lets just start out with the tons of snow that we got in February. Yeah, we got so much snow that it was ankle-deep. And then, the next day, since it snowed overnight, the snow was about mid-shin deep. It was crazy! I mean, come on! We live in Texas! I was only expecting a little bit of snow. Here are some fun pictures of the snow.

Snowball!

I'm gonna get someone!



Oh, what a fun time. I love snow!

Okay, in March, Dad was going to Florida for a business trip, and he wondered if we would like to go with him. We would be missing school for 4 days, but who cares? Go to school, or go to Florida, which has Disney World and Universal? I was all for Florida. When we got there, we didn't do anything special. Cody and I played ping-ping, but that was pretty much it for the day. On the first whole day that we were there, we were at Universal. It was great. There were so many rides that were inside and they were the movie type rides. We enjoyed them extra because it was so cold there. Cody and I also went on the Hulk, which is like Batman or Great White. It was interesting because instead of taking you up slowly to the top, the Hulk shot you up when you were about halfway to the top. Mom decided to go to Seuss Landing while she was waiting for us, and we saw her shopping for little Ashton and Hannah. She bought cute little Thing 1 and Thing 2 shirts for them. Mom and I also bought Thing 1 and Thing 2 sweatshirts for ourselves. Mom and I found The Cat in the Hat and Thing 1 and Thing 2. It was pretty cool seeing them.

We're so cute. :)

We also went to the Jurassic Park place in Universal. It was so cool looking at all of the different dinosaurs. There was one place full of awesome stuff that you could just mess around with. In one part of Jurassic Park, there were dinosaurs that had a machine on their side that you could move their head with and see through. Also, when you talked into the machine, it made your voice sound funny.

That's the machine.



We got soaked, and it was cold and windy. Good combo! It was worth it, though.

Whoo! Fun rules!

" Wow! This is a complete replica of ..." -yours truly, Cody :p

We love dinos!
We had such a fun time at Universal.

The next day, we went to Epcot Disney, which had so many cool stuff. First, we went to The Sum of All Thrills (presented by Raytheon), which was amazing. Unlike any ride I've ever been on. First, you get to make your own ride. By the way, this ride is inside. You have this touch screen, and you choose if one or two people are riding, then you choose if you want the bobsled, roller coaster, or jet plane (mild to wild!), then you get to choose what course you want to go on, how tall you want the drops, and then you ride! This is just a simulation, of course. You get in, and then the machine that you are in will move, not very much, but when you are inside, it really makes you feel like you are on the ride. Inside the machine, there is a screen showing the course that you made. If that explanation doesn't make sense, just ride it and you will understand. Anyway, that was the really big thing at Epcot. We were only at Epcot for half of the day. The second half we were at Animal Kingdom.

Animal Kingdom was so much fun. I loved looking at the animals. Here are some cool pictures from Animal Kingdom.

I love giraffes!




I love ostriches!

Don't want to mess with that cat.

Then, last but definitely not least, was the happiest place on Earth-Magic Kingdom. It was amazing. I felt happy just walking around. Especially when we were walking on Main Street. I just couldn't be sad. Or mad. We went on a cool ride. It was the Buzz Light year Space Ranger shooting ride. You get in the car. Then the car will start moving and you can start shooting stuff with your pretend laser gun. You have to shoot the signs that have the Zurg symbol on them. You could also spin yourself around. It was so fun. One of my favorite rides at Magic Kingdom. By the way this was my first time I've ever been to Disney World. Ever. Not even in another place.

See something here? Both parents don't look as happy as the children do. :)

Oh yeah. Real happy.

Come on, Cody! I believe in you!

I love Disney World!

Well, I hope you enjoyed reading the longest blog post in the world! That's what it seems like. I told you I had too much to talk about. I still have Spring Break to talk about! But that's for next time... B)
