More Hollywood Studios

Me and Grace in front of the Large Wizards hat at Hollywood Studios.  I used paper from Cosmo Cricket - Circa 1934 line and the polka dot paper is from Daily Junque ( I think).  The Circa 1934 line has exactly the look that to me reflects Disneyworld - especially along Mainstreet USA and Hollywood Studios.  This layout was based on this Layout.

The layout to the right is based on a sketch found HERE. I used paper from Daily Junque and Cosmo Cricket-Circa 1934 and I used the Cricut (Alphalicious) for the title.  Coming up next: The Tower of Terror! 

Hollywood Studios

We didn't spend much time at Hollywood Studios and I wish that we would have - I found out after we came back from our trip that we missed a lot of what there was to do there.  Oh well, there's always next time!

Epcot

I'm on a roll getting these Disneyworld pages done!  I think {hope} that this is
the last of Epcot - then I will be be working on Hollywood Studios!

Finding Nemo at Epcot

These are scraplifted from a layout I found (cannot remember whose it was) and changed, of course, to suit my photos and my style :)

Parade pages

Move it, Shake it, Celebrate it!

This was the first parade we saw when we got to Disneyworld. Grace really enjoyed the parades.

More from the "Not So Scary Halloween Party"  The fireworks were incredible. 

Breakfast at the Tusker House

We ate breakfast at the Tusker House in Africa {Animal Kingdom} on our last day in DisneyWorld. We had already eaten there for dinner on Wednesday for Nicks birthday and the food was horrible. We almost canceled the breakfast but because this would be our last chance to meet Donald, Daisy,Goofy and Mickey we decided to go anyway. The food at breakfast was much better and we had a good time.

Castle Spootacular

I really like how this one turned out. It is pretty much scraplifted from someone else {if I remember who, I will update and give them credit}. I'm pretty proud of how the photo came out. Oh, and the skull in the center bottom is my son.

Just a few more pages that I got done from our trip to Disneyworld. These are also from Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party.

Walt DisneyWorld layouts

Photos we had taken right after we arrived at the Magic Kingdom for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Grace was the only one who dressed up and after we got there we all wished we would have as well. The party was fun and I would definitely recommend going to it at least once. I realized once I loaded up the top layout that the purple cardstock does not match the purple circles in the strip going across - this will bug me but I am just lazy enough to not change it.

Mini Vacation in Mesa Verde, Colorado

The photo on the top was taken from the Cliff Palace side of the gorge. There was no way to get down to that one as far as i could see. The photo on the bottom is the Cliff Palace. We had to go down a narrow trail and many steps to get to it and then we had to climb out by way of a huge ladder. I was gasping for air and we all had to sit for a few minutes once we reached the top.

VACATION in South Dakota!

We drove through the Wildlife Loop in the Black HIlls. We saw lots of Buffalo a few Antelope and a large forest fire. It was pretty close to the road and we could see the flames above the trees. Nick got all freaked out about it and wanted Bill to leave - fast - he was crying and saying that he did not want to be killed. He got a little hysterical! The forest service closed out a portion of the loop a short while after we left.

This Tortise at the Reptile Gardens is 126 years old!

We went to Storybook Island. It was free.

We also stopped by the Wall Drug on our way to

the Badlands. We spent about an hour there looking at

all the stuff. It was a totally "Hokey" place but a lot of

fun! Grace did not like the T=Rex. I was at the other end of the store

when it roared and I could hear her screaming. Bill said that she then went

running off into one of the stores. When she finally found me, she demanded

that we leave.

Bill and his lady friend.

The Chapel in the Hills was one of my favorite places to visit. It is an exact replica of an 800 year old church in Norway.

The Cosmos Mystery Area was a lot of fun. Notice how Nick is leaning.

We drove the Needles Highway and it was amazing. We drove through several tunnels that were only wide enough for one car.


We stopped at an old Prairie Homestead just outside the Badlands National Park. I think it was hard for Nick to understand just how hard life was and how little "things" the people who lived here had. I hope he came away with a better appreciation of how he lives.

The Badlands National Park.


Bear Country, USA

The bear cubs were a big hit with Nick and Grace.
