Now floating up and down...I spin, colliding into sound..

It was 85 degrees on New Smyrna Beach and the best waves we have ever boarded in. We got the crap beat out of us, but I loved every minute of it.

The drowned rat after the first go round.....

On Halloween night when the moon is high.....The witches pull out their brooms and fly...

Since we have season passes, we decided to take advantage of them and attend "Fright Night" at Silver Springs. This had to be one of the best Halloween events we have attended. It was impossible in the dark to figure out which of the monsters were real and which were fake....UNTIL of course they jumped out at you....

Grave digger.... Of course the flash lights up the pictures so it doesn't look nearly as scary as when you are in almost total darkness.....

Yeah....very scary!!

Lots of fog from the witches brew.....

Salt wasn't sure about this one so he didn't get very close.....

This guy stood SO still I was convinced he was one of the "fakes" until he leaned into me.....

THIS was creepy...every time they hit the button this guy jumped and sparked and was VERY real looking!!!

They also had a show featuring a alligator wrestler. I could have done without the snake charming!

More terror..... This guy wasn't so scary with a flash but his saw make a lot of noise in the dark....of course I am faking the scream....ha ha.

There's a great big beautiful tomorow......

Took a trip to EPCOT today with Wally and Linda. For all the years I have been visiting this park, I had NO idea that this "free" soda building existed. All of the flavors were good (comparable to some kind of American drink) except for Italy which was disgusting!!!

The weather was gorgeous, and just the walk around the park watching the street shows and listening to the music was enjoyable. We did however, get a chance to ride or visit almost all of the attractions.......Soarin (my favorite) twice!!


This was one of the street attractions in front of the Italian pavilion. I will never understand how someone has this kind of balance.....There is a table with 4 sine bottles, 4 chairs and this big bottle all stacked.

One of my favorites, the Fife and Drum musicians...They always make me feel so patriotic!

Here are the "Ziti" Sisters....All the people in this park and 3 of us get picked as "volunteers"..... This is my model's hat. She made this hat and sent me down the red carpet....LOL

And Wallly got to be a "mourner" at an Italian Wake.......

And Linda got to duplicate a picture....

Here is the new car I just ordered for my son.....Just kidding Michael!!!!!

A little Mexican music to get your feet tapping......

When we went through the aquariums at the Nemo attraction, I tried not to visualize some of these creatures being in the water we boogie board in.....

After answering the questions on the computer in the Carousel of Progress, this is what they told us we should do on our vacation....pretty appropriate!!

Are you going to Scarborough Fair...parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme...

Salt took all the sand out of my herb garden and replaced it with new potting soil....My herbs are loving life!!

Definitely looks like a "Pesto" sauce is in order.....

It was 94 degrees today....did the Farmer's Market, a trip to Bell's to make one more pass at the sale and then to the pool to cool off. Going to do laundry and spend the rest of the night chilling.

Our friend Terry Muldoon arrived yesterday; Darlene, Doug and Salt helped me prepare a welcome home dinner. So great to have all our friends returning.....

Too much fun....what's that mean????

We drove over to Silver Springs this morning and picked up our season passes. We were having company for dinner so we didn't have a lot of time to explore the park today. We picked up an events schedule and it promises some great winter concerts and events.

Some of the park's residents.....

This guy was hanging right along the entrance way.

and on the other side of the bridge.....

The walkway/bridge is built around several trees.

The pass gives us entry to all the concerts and special events over the year. Some of the concerts include Mel Tillis, Roy Clark, The Guess Who, Jake Owen, Rodney Atkins, Clint Black, Charlie Daniels Band, Tanya Tucker, Three Dog Night and Jars of Clay. We are also looking forward to the Festival of Lights which we hear is beautiful.

We're off to see the Wizard.....

We attended the Warren Acting School's presentation of the Wizard of Oz. Once again, it was a great show. The "Tin Man" and "Toto" are the grandchildren of our good friends Terry and Sue Muldoon. This is the third show we have seen the kids in and look forward to the December presentation of Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat.

Lainie, who is only 6, had us in tears with her comical performance. She was either wagging her tongue, scratching her ear with her foot or rolling over. What a ham!!

Walker was the "Tin Man" and as always had a stellar performance.

And while we are on the subject of hams....here is Emma in her Halloween costume. Devil or angel???

Check out the link below to see what my nephew Joseph has been up to. He is an amazing kid!

Hey there, Hi there your as welcome as can be.....M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E....

Today we took our first trip to Disney...again with our friends Wally and Linda. We only did one park, Magic Kingdom. This is the beauty of the "season pass"....you can take your time, come and go whenever you please; so unlike trying to get your money's worth in a few days

The park was decorated for Halloween....the first we have been here during this season.

We love just walking through the park, listening to the music and watching the little side shows. Here are is a skit in front of the Pirates of the Caribbean.

A little street music in Frontier land.....

The afternoon parade....

Linda grabbing an autograph for her granddaughter....

A new castle is being built for Ariel.

This is how it will look when it is completed. Emma you will love this!

One of the magnificent lights in the lobby of the Wilderness Lodge.

Linda and Wally take a break in the lodge after a long day in Magic Kingdom.

Awesome shrubs at the Wilderness Lodge....

Just walking in this place....puts a big smile on my face!

Picked up our Sea World season passes today and did our first full day. I love this place; because the shows are all animals/mammals, the shows always change. You never know what they will do.

We were able to see the new (13 day old) baby Killer Whale....so neat to watch the relationship between the baby and "mama".

We went with our good friends Wally and Linda Medley, who also have season passes.

The dolphin show....always a favorite!

And a great show from the acrobats.....

Amazes me how they can train these huge animals to do the tricks they do.

Taking a bow.....

This is a "rescued" animal show. Amazing how they train mice, cats, birds and even a Pot Bellied pig.

Very weird frog...Emma will love this guy.

Sea Lions waiting for the tourists to throw food.....

This is one of the roller coasters...the Manta.

And yes Betty....Mom went on it and plans to do it again. It is such a cool ride!

There is something about these Stingrays that infatuate me.

One butt ugly octopus!

These were new to me....Peppermint Shrimp.

Living life in a "fishbowl".

The end of a long and enjoyable day. This place is a constant learning experience. I can't wait to take Emma here!!!
