 And on to my favorite Disney Park despite its lack of rides! EPCOT! It really only has 3 big rides, and 3 little ones. First there's SOARIN (My fav ALL TIME ride), Mission Space (which I didn't even bother trying to ride since it makes you sick), and Test Track. The little ones are the Mexico boat ride (which is little and quite, quite lame but Chandler liked it), Spaceship Earth (which they recently renovated and Judy Dench narrates and is really quite enjoyable learning about the history of man and designing a wacky future.) and the NORWAY Ride! It's such a run little boat ride where you even go down a hill backwards. Here Jenna and I are in front of that part so no... that boat is not about to plunge over that little waterfall.  The rest of Epcot is centered around the countries. My mom and I love to walk around all of them. I love the detail and architecture and when we eat our way around the world... we usually really love the food too! So here's some pict

 Day 2 began with Hollywood Studios! This is one of my favorite parks for its shows and rides! Number 1 ride? The Rockin Rollercoaster. It shoots you off at the beginning into a dark inside ride with Aerosmith playing in your ears, loops, and even a barrel roll! It's seriously one heck of a ride!  Another person favorite is the Great Movie Ride. It always amazes me the amount of animatronics and live action cast that goes into this ride. (The animatronics are superb!)  Mary Poppins :)  And of course The Wizard of Oz. It also features great films such as Indiana Jones, Casablanca, Tarzan, The Public Enemy, and of course Alien which has terrified me since I first rode this ride way back when. (Chandler was adorable when we went through the Alien section. She clapper her hands over her eyes and just leaned in towards Tiffany)  Pictures from the ride entrance to Rockin Rollercoaster!  And another personal favorite at Disneyland as well is Star Tours.

 FINALLY! Another Vacation! :) I paid Florida another trip with my family the week of August 15-23rd and it was great! My flights were great there and back with premium seats. For the first time in my life I sat in the very first row of the plan. I can't tell you how wonderful it was. haha When I got in on Friday we went to the Typhoon Lagoon and rode all the slides we needed to there Oh AND Swam with hammerhead sharks! Yikes! (One even touched my mom and me ) Saturday we also spent at Blizzard Beach! Though half they day it rained and we spent our time souvenir shopping, we still got to ride all the side we wanted to there as well!  Sunday morning we went to Sacrament Meeting where they had a wonderful speaker who talked about patience! He was hilarious and wonderful to listen to so I'm glad I went! Then we headed out to the beach! We stopped at Ron Johns at Cocoa Beach! We did our shopping but unfortunately didn't step foot on the beach for fear of getting the fl

 Wow I can't believe July is over already! It's been such a busy month! When Braden and I got back from Glacier my family was in town for pretty much the rest of the month so we've been contantly moving it feels like. This is a picture from one of our Sunday afternoon walks we took my dogs on. It sure was nice in the shade so we took a break to let my dogs rest... Monty almost couldn't go on. haha  Another fun aspect of this past month have been the concerts! First Jordan and I went to see Journey and the Steve Miller Band which was AWESOME! I didn't know Steve Miller Band was behind a lot of those songs... but we stood up and danced and sang all through Journey. The only thing that killed me was we wanted to leave at 10 and they kept having these little jams and taking breaks and we wanted as many of the good oldies before we left!  The second concert was my personal favorite. It was way less crowded and I knew more of the songs from the opening acts.
