Part Two I Guess

Before I forget, run out of time and never post about Florida again here's the last of the recap pictures from a month ago. (Does that show you how busy/forgetful I can be?) Well here's the last of the Disneymundia pictures, the number 1 beach in the United States and the Rays Baseball game where I actually got to touch some sting rays! (And I was so brave I only screamed about 4 times.) 

A Disney Recap

So I never really got the chance to tell you all how Disneymundia was. But all I need are a few words to explain it: magically amazing. We went crazy hard core and ran ourselves ragged and tired just on the first day, riding every single ride in two parks. We decided to take it a little bit easier the next few days otherwise we'd probably die before making it to the beach. About 15 minutes into Animal Kingdom on our very first day I had a fan girl moment when I got to meet Russel and Doug from UP!

Other highlights from the day include our very first Disney ride- Dinosaur, like the movie. Probably one of the slowest not very actiony rides, but since it was the first ride Carli and I had been on in probably 5 years at least, we were scared out of our minds!

We also went to Disneymundia at the right time of year because the lines were so short! The whole trip and our longest wait was 30 minutes. I waited longer in the testing center lines at BYU than at Disneymundia. But since the lines were so short, we were able to go on rides 5 times in a row if we wanted to. Expedition Everest? You can bet that we did that one at least 5 times. 

And you can't forget about the wilderness exploration that we did. Don't mind me, I'm just 40 feet away from a baby elephant and making friends with the wildlife (if goats can count as wildlife, that is.) 

I Love Animals too Much

Disneyworld? Amazing. I'm not sure if there's words to really describe it. I felt like a little kid with all of my excitement. So Disneyworld has several different parks to it, one of them being Animal Kingdom which is like a zoo but they try to make you feel even more like you're in Africa. I boarded the bus that took us out into the wilderness and the first word out of the tour guides mouth, "Jambo!" I love Disney. 

I'm Not Really Conservative

But when I say that I'm not really conservative, what I'm referring to, at least for the moment is my earrings. I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee earrings. Maybe a little too much. I have hoops that are literally bigger than a grown man's fist. 

If you don't really know me, then please refer to this picture. Last year when I was at the beach I took these big earrings. And you can see how happy I was with them compared to the little ones above. But I don't want to get my earrings stuck in any rides or anything at Disneymundia because then it would rip my ears off and then I'd die. So I'm being a responsible adult and taking little earrings because that's what adults do and I'm 21 now. 

Now I'm off to finish my packing because my flight leaves in 6 hours and I still can't find everything. Don't worry I'll post a picture or two on the blog and instagram and facebook to make you all jelly. 

Waking Up In Vegas

Friday night Adam came over and while planning our next trip to Vegas, we reminisced on our last Vegas trip. I completely had forgotten about this video until he reminded me of it. I watched it today and laughed my head off. Here's to Paris!

Paradise

As the summer is almost at an end, I realized one thing I didn't do. Go to the beach. What is a summer without the beach? Luckily I was able to go to the beach earlier during the school year while I was in California with Living Legends. Can I just go back to Paradise?

And That's What Makes A Tour

So I decided instead of posting lots of updates about how our Nauvoo tour went, I decided I'd just post pictures. A picture is worth a thousand words, and much nicer to look at then lots of descriptions.

Living Legends, what are we gonna do?
