Wow, okay, so it has been way too long since I last wrote on here. Where to start? Why, at the beginning, of course! Haha, anyways....
On the 3rd of March, my parents and I went to Florida for a week. It was so warm and sunny!! I even got a tan! We went to Disney almost everyday; all but Friday. We did Animal Kingdom the first day...it was so cool! I loved how when we went from Africa to Asia, it really seemed like we had changed countries. I also loved the Kilimanjaro Safari. Mom and I went on Expedition Everest for the first time...it was very fun the way that you go backwards, too!
The next day we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios. It was my first time and I really loved it. My favorite "ride" was the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular. The Great Movie Ride and the Muppet's 3D film were also fun. We went to the Disney Animation Studio there and learned how to draw Dale. It was very fun, and relaxing.
On Friday, we went to the Holy Land Experience in the afternoon and Downtown Disney at night. The Holy Land was interesting, but there wasn't tons to do. My favorite part was the Scriptorium. It was about an hour walk-through of the writing and preserving of the Bible. You went through 14 scenes like Ancient Egypt, a monastery, Johann Guttenburg's printing press, and John Bunyon's prison cell.
Saturday, we did the front half of Epcot, Future World. I have to say that it was rather boring. The rides were interesting, but there weren't many. We tried Soarin'; it was so incredibly fun! We also did Turtle Talk with Crush (from Finding Nemo), Test Track and a few others.
Sunday was Magic Kingdom, and it was so much better than I remembered it to be. I got to meet Peter Pan, and saw a street show with Jack Sparrow! We did Thunder Mountain Railroad, It's A Small World, Pirates Of The Carribean, and many more! I loved the Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor, and Mickey's Philharmagic. We, of course, stayed to watch the fireworks
On our last day, Monday, we did the World Show Case in Epcot. That was wonderful. My favorite was Morocco, although I did also love England and Mexico. We did the boat ride both in Norway and Mexico. I bought paper laterns in Japan, and a set of 12 postcards - one from each country. All in all I had a wonderful!
Right, now I am watching the six-hour Pride and Prejudice while I get work done. Mr. Bennett was the inspiration for the title. He said that line, one of my favorites, right as I started this. I just finished reading the book
The Visitor by Lori Wick, which is set in England in the same time period as P&P, and Lori used many character names and even some circumstances from Jane Austen's books.
Today is my best friend's birthday. She is 15. I "met" and started writing to her right after she turned 9. I am ever reminded how quickly time flies, and how close my own 15th birthday is! Only 33 days!!!
Well, I believe that is all!
This one is a Peter Pan puzzle I recently did. It was 1000 pieces; so much fun! The coolest things is that the characters are hidden in it....like Wendy is in a waterfall, and Hook is in a tree.
These are two birdhouses I painted for our spring center-piece. I really had no ideas when I started, so I just started painting, and I think they turned out very well.
Hopefully, I will soon have a picture of a quilt that I am working on. I got some crazy awesome fabric for the back of it today. I wish I could take a picture to put on here, but my camera batteries need to be recharged. So, I'll have to do it later. That's it!
