Florida Trip: Part Five - Back to Cincinnati

We made it back to Cincinnati Friday night after a long trip.  On Saturday we visited Krohn's Conservatory.

Erin makes it a point to climb on everything for a photo opportunity

Thank Goodness we brought warmer weather back with us!!!  It would have been a rough transition had it have been as cold as it was last week!!! 

Florida Trip: Part Four - Downtown Disney!

On our final day in Florida, Erin started the day with the guys at the Turf Show. 

After lunch, Erin and I went to check out Downtown Disney.

We found the Bippity Boppity Boutique and Erin got a princess makeover! She did surprisingly well at sitting still and having her hair, makeup and nails done.

All Done!

We were just in time for the Princess Parade!

The little girl right in front of Erin in the above picture was THE.SLOWEST.WALKER.EVER and literally made Erin trip over her and Erin had to let go of the rope. This nice Fairy-God-Mother-In-Training took her hand so she wouldn't get left behind.

The parade ended at the carousel and Erin rode it all by her self (with the Fairy God-Mothers-in-Training)

After the parade, Erin had to ride the carousel again and found another choo-choo train.

Erin insisted on taking her picture with every statue she found

We went out to dinner at Joe's Crab Shack

ERin got to paint a rice krispie treat crab for her dessert!

Florida Trip: Part Three - GatorLand!

It was just Erin and I for our trip to Gatorland. The guys spent Wednesday at the Turf Show all day. Erin and I headed to the park around 10am.

As soon as we walked in, we saw three HUGE ponds of gators. Tons and tons of gators all over!

The birds were fearless! You could get super close!

There were warnings everywhere!

There was a Gator Jumperoo Show. These crazy Alligator Trainers got the alligators to jump out of the water by feeding raw chicken to them with their bare hands!

Erin got a front row seat!

They also had a petting zoo and Erin got to feed our favorites, the goats!

Erin's favorite: The Choo Choo Train!

According to the Tour Guide a "Redneck Lawn Ornament"

After the train ride, we watched Gator Wrasslin' (Pictures Courtesy of Erin)

Oooooo my shoes!

Back to the Show

He held open the gator's mouth with his chin (Look Ma No Hands!)

Then we got to sit on a gator for a photo op. Of course, they took it for us and I don't have a digital copy.  But you can imagine it looks cool. :)

After the show, we headed back to the hotel to meet back up with the boys (I taught Erin to say "Boys Stink. Girls are Good. :)) Erin wanted to go swimming (Surprise!!) I took a siesta by the pool!

After dinner, Erin, Ryan and I went to Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf for some miniature golfing action.
