Dream trip

So this post is going to be a lot of pictures and not very many words!  We had a great time on our trip made possible by the Dream Foundation to Orlando last week where we were able to visit the Center for Elephant Conservation and spend a day at Universal Studios and a day at Disney's Magic Kingdom. Tony's family was able to meet up with us for this trip and experience a great time as well. A group of 17 (with more kids than adults) is not for the faint of heart; we sure had to rest up once we were all home!

Tony did wonderfully well on the trip and enjoyed watching the kids have a blast. He especially loved meeting an elephant, Mysor, who is 70 years old, and getting to pet her trunk and feed her bread straight into her mouth. It was incredible!

Hope you enjoy my amateur pictures taken on my phone!




The pilot invited the kids to fly the plane ;)




 Universal Studios: spent most our time at Harry Potter world enjoying lots of butter beer!



At the CEC--- enjoying Mysor and seeing all the elephants (more than 35!).





Disney World (Magic Kingdom)-- Jennifer (my birthday twin from high school), as well as lots of pictures of the kids with princesses and enjoying the parade.
