First Grommesh family beach vacation




Taking a sand nap

Soft as a feather pillow.


Claire loved the beach

She wasn't so sure about the ocean though - the tide came up and tried to wash away her sandcastles.

The Animal Kingdom outside our room

From our balcony we had a view of the savana of the Animal Kingdom at Disney World.
Here is 2 of the 4 giraffes that slept outside our room - I guess it is good they don't make any noise.




African parade

Alley and Claire played on bongos and marched with other kids - at our hotel Animal Kingdom in Orlando - the kids made lots of noise - including yelling AFRICA!

Claire looks a little nervous.

You can tell by that uncertain look on her face and how she knots up her dress in her fists - unknowingly flashing everyone her underwear.





Princesses!!!

"Look we have the same dress!" - Claire pointed out to Belle when she met her.
Hug from Cinderella.

At Easter, Claire got her first barbie doll from her grandparents and it was Cinderella.


Can I get your autograph? Claire and Alley got all the princesses' autographs - which as you can tell Claire thought was pretty neat.



A Big Furry Hug

I believe that is Dale hugging Claire and Chip about to hug Alley.


Mmmm - Cheetos


Wow - It's a Small World After All!







"That was fun!"

Claire's first rollercoaster - the Barnstormer.

The rides at Disney World

Aladdin ride with Dad.
Look I'm driving!

It's dark in here and a little scary.


First ride: Mad Hatter's teacups - before the ride -not so sure about this - but thoroughly enjoyed it and was all smiles afterwards.
