on "safari"

claire and i with our new rhino friend

the boys like to tell me on a fairly regular basis that i look like lilo. naturally, we had to take a picture with my twin.

get ready

get ready folks, because here comes a slew of pictures from the last 3 months. note to self: don't get behind in posting pictures.

double life

so... i think i am going to try to simultaneously manage two blogs. we'll see how this goes.

first things first, i need to catch up on my travel updates! according to this blog, i'm still in florida... neglecting colorado, montana, holland and australia! i will try to keep this blog updated with travel photos and travel stories.

more regular, life-related updates will soon be found on tumblr...

fresh start?

i have been trying for months now to re-energize this blog.

it just isn't working.

i'm debating jumping ship and heading on over to tumblr.

it's sort of sad though... this blog has been with me through tanzania, fiji, new zealand, holland, germany, sunshine coast, stradbroke island, gold coast, melbourne, adelaide, minnesota, florida, union college, parties, friends, boyfriends, and a new apartment.

i'm not sure if i'm quite ready to say goodbye to it yet!

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.
