downtown disney

after our trip to the cabin, the three of us packed up and flew down to orlando for a week of extreme theme-parking. our first stop: downtown disney.

mr. potato head!

one of the coolest parts of downtown disney: legoworld. inside, they had an entire wall filled with bulk bins of legos in every size, shape, and color. SO COOL.

we hit the town for dinner and somehow ended up getting drinks at... hooters. an american classic.

yeah, sure, you betcha!

our time up north at the cabin gave us a chance to relax, sled, bowl, and purchase firearms.

joshie poo and myself hanging out

z-man bought a paintball gun at mills fleet farm

the boys are really good at bowling. i am not.

clearly all that gun-slingin' wore the boys out! such exciting company!

baby, it's cold outside

z-man helped me pick out the family christmas tree. don't we look christmassy?

froze our faces off walking around the lake

spent a weekend at the cabin. z-man got dressed up for his first sledding adventure.

SUCH a sexy jacket.

going out in minneSNOWta

joshie poo and zman started their month-long american trek in minnesota. it was fun introducing my best aussie friends to my best american friends.

z-man's first time seeing snow fall. naturally we had to take pictures.

new apartment!

well, i have officially moved out of dorm life! during my last week in australia, amongst camping trips, parties, finals, and packing for home, i managed to transport my life into a new apartment. i'm living with a friend from union, Umar, who is from mauritius. i will miss always having friends down the hallway, but i most certainly will NOT miss sharing a bathroom with gross boys or the food!

my favorite part of my apartment: the balcony

my desk, tv (came with the room), and cute picture frames :)

finally! a big bed!

best view during beer pong ever

view of the city at night from my balcony

camping

i got to spend 3 wonderful days with my favorite boy camping :) we went on a little hike along the ocean, went kayaking, and explored the sunshine coast.

carrying the kayak out to the lake

sunrise at 4:15 am. so worth the wake-up.
