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.
