July 2005

Well, July is flying by. Our vacation was at the beginning of the month, we had a great time(see previous post). It is still really warm here, luckily the humidity has lowered recently and we got a little bit of rain. The tomato, cucumber and pepper plants are all doing well. And the butterfly bush has to be 7 feet tall if not more. We have alot of pumpkin plants started and we are trying to grow watermelons . It is a little early to tell if we will get any fruit from them. We haven't got our vacation pictures off our digital camera yet. As soon as we do Lindsey will put them on the computer at the webshots page there are some pictures there now from disposable cameras when we got cd's instead of prints. Haven't read the sixth book about Harry Potter yet. We are waiting for the library to have a copy we put a hold on we were the 106th person on their list. But the library system in York got like 27 copies. My Mom bought the book at Bj's. She should finish with it soon. That's all for now. Bye.

Vacation 2005

The beach on Sanibel Island by the lighthouse
Hey we are home from Florida! We had a great time on Sanibel Island and at Walt DisneyWorld for 3 short days. The Polynesian resort was cool. The shells were plentiful on Sanibel. And we even got to see some dolphins and a jumping stingray and 2 manatees Mother and child, 2 alligators and a ton of different kinds of birds. 4th of July was cool. We saw the parade and went to the community celebration. We also got to watch fireworks from the causeway. The people beside us setting off fireworks gave us a scare when one started going all over the place and went off in front of our van. At WDW we visited the Animal Kingdom lodge and saw giraffes, zebras, wildebeast, bighorn cattle, flamingos, spoonbills, and other deer like creatures and some other birds too. Of course the geckos were all over the resort area. And we got to have breakfast with Mickey Mouse and Goofy & Chip and Dale at Ohanas. We had supper at Whispering Canyon at Wilderness Lodge and Kristina got Pony Express Certificate for riding the pony express in the resturant. We all got co-pilots cards for riding in the front of the monrail and Lindsey and Kristina loved the volcano pool (Doug and Me too)! Hurricane Dennis gave us a slight scare, but did not really affect our great time. You can see some of our pictures at our Webshots page and more will be added soon.
