The Magic Kingdom...my favorite place on earth!


My two favorite boys driving their cars.  (This is one of Mr. Beans favorite attractions.)



Mr. Beans with his hands up on Thunder Mountain.  This is a major accomplishment for Mr. Beans.  You see, he inherited his grammy's roller coaster gene (or lack thereof).  We don't like roller coasters, however, Thunder Mountain is OK.




 
We did manage to get Mr. Beans on Magic Mountain this trip even though he tried his hardest to escape right at the last minute.  When my girls were small there weren't even seat belts on Magic Mountain.  My how things have changed over the years.  One trip on Magic Mountain was more than sufficient for Mr. Beans and I.
 
 
Here we are in line for Thunder Mountain a second time.  This time they closed the coaster right before we were about to load up.  Thunderstorm warning, high wind warning, and tornado warning!  We stayed in that queue for about two hours while the storm passed by.
 


 
We didn't do much in the new and improved Fantasyland which now has two new castles, but we did make the tea cups spin especially fast. 
 
 
There were many things we passed by on this trip to WDW.  My girls always tease me because I like to go to the shows.  This time there were no Tiki Birds, Country Bears, Peter Pan, Hall of Presidents, or Small World.  I feel especially bad about skipping Small World.  I think I may need to go back again.
 
Our dinner reservations at the Magic Kingdom were at the Crystal Palace.  This is a place I always thought I wanted to dine at.  Big mistake!  It was noisy, crowded, and filled with out of control kids climbing on tables and screaming at the top of their lungs. 
 
Sensory overload! 
 
It was also a buffet....disappointment!  For the price I expected much more...I would have rather gone to the Golden Corral and if you know me, you know I'd never rather go to the Golden Corral.  The best part was the Winnie the Pooh gang who stopped by to say hello.


 That's the extent of my pictures from the Magic Kingdom.  I failed at properly documenting our day.  I guess that's one more reason I need to go back soon.

I also need to go back to the Magic Kingdom with a granddaughter.  All those precious little girls with their hair done up, sprinkled with fairy dust, and wearing princess gowns.  They were precious!

She isn't kidding about the little girls. Almost every one was decked out like Cinderella they were so precous.

I don't much like wild rides either. Disney World looks like a fun place. I guess though plan to eat somewhere else.

Skywatch Friday: A little close for comfort

Image
We had a fire out here on the eastern plains of Colorado last week.  I kept getting reports on the fire's location on my cell phone while I was at work.  Then a warning popped up that let me know it was time to hit the road and go home to prepare to evacuate the critters. When we initially got home it was still a decent distance away. Within 30 minutes it had come up over the ridge and flames were visible. The winds were gusting 45 to 50 mph.  It was a fast moving fire that burned 5,000 acres in only four hours.  Then the most amazing thing happened--the winds died down and the firefighters got in under control by 8:15 that night.  Thank you, Lord! Have you ever had to stand in your house and wonder what you should take out with you?  There were only two things I could think of...1) my critters and 2) my passport so I could still go to Europe next month.  Irv and I agreed that we need to get things organized so we can just grab a box...

Skywatch Friday: Upper and Lower Falls

Image
Yesterday I got to visit the recently completed Uncle Tom's Overlook along the Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park. This is the first really good look I've ever had at the Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River. These falls are almost as good as the Lower Falls. After leaving the Upper Falls you go downstream for a mile or so to.... ...Artist's Point which has the very best view of the Lower Falls (in my opinion).  In this location the view is perfect, so perfect that it look like a painting. This is just one of the features of this Park that make it my heart and soul.   Linking with Skywatch Friday

Skywatch Friday: Wild Horses!

Image
 The Salt River wild horses have been eluding us since we arrived in Arizona several weeks ago so today we went in search of them again. This time we started at the Coon Bluff Recreation Area.  First we went one way down the river, but soon had to turn back because we didn't bring any rock climbing gear. Then we turned around and went the other direction. The water in the river was crystal clear, but no sign of fish or horses. There are times when I really miss my dad especially when I want to know what kind of tree I'm looking at.  This one has something that resembles Spanish moss hanging down.  What is it? This riparian area that surrounds the river has all kinds of wildlife.  Today we saw theses white egrets. This gray heron was also hanging out in the distance. We met a guy carrying all kinds of photographic equipment and he said we needed to go about a quarter of a mile further down the river to find a spot where the horses cross every afternoon around 5:0...
