This year we couldn't wait to take Mum and Dad up to our new favorite place, Mount Dora!
The gorgeous Donnelly House...
There's always something random going on in this quirky little town...
There was a little health and wellness festival and they had two-day old baby goats. My God - they were so adorable - we all fell in love...
We took a walk down to the lake - looking for lost cameras :)
And had a great dinner to celebrate Mum's birthday...
In the evening we did the famous Mount Dora Ghost Walk which starts at the original Lakeside Inn (the oldest continually operating hotel in Florida). This is the room that president Coolidge stayed in for a month...
The guides dressed in Victorian clothing and stayed in character the whole time while telling spooky stories and old legends of the town...it was very bizarre :)
Back in O-Town the next day we had lunch on the savanna at Animal Kingdom...
And went to the petting zoo at the park...
...to find some more goats :)
I was ever so brave and rode a new ride (Dinosaur!) after miserably failing my goal to ride all Disney attractions last year.
We ended up in the Jungle Jammin' Parade for a few minutes:)
And ended the day with the safari which was perfect as always :)
The next weekend we went to Hollywood Studios and then to the Blue Springs Manatee festival.
Maddy brushed up on her skills on the mechanical surfboard...
And Mike tried his hand at darts...
It wouldn't be a southern festival without crazy '80s frisbee dogs...
And then we went to see the beautiful springs - there were manatees everywhere!
It was so pretty - thank you Mum and Dad for such a lovely visit. See you next year :)
