Silver Springs and Hannah Montana's dad

Today we went to Silver Springs.


These shots were taken from a glass bottom boat. The boat tour took us over many springs. This is a shot that you can see of a gar. It is just one of many many large ones we saw.



This little alligator was right before we even entered the park! There were also a LOT of very, very big turtles.


My sisters got to feed the giraffes. Look how long its tongue is and it is a purple tongue!




These are Kodiak bears They were both laying in the water and they were both drinking the water!



This funny looking thing is a sleepy Portugese Pot Bellied Pig. It was huge!

AND THEN! Hannah Montana's dad in real life was in concert. We love to all watch Hannah Montana on TV and this is really her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus. My mom and dad took us to our first concert. It was outside, right at Silver Springs. He sang lots of really great songs. My sister and me got a chance to go up really close and take pictures and we had good seats too. Oh, Hannah Montana (really Miley Cyrus) was not there.

Life as a Cat
Life as Jasmine must be very tough. She was on my bed all day sleeping in the oddest positions. It was very cute. I managed to get these shots without disturbing her.

The entrance to this "island". See the Caro-Seuss-ell in the background! Instead of horses, we rode Dr. Seuss creatures. It was fun.

1. Woody Woodpecker

2. The Cat in the Hat

3. Sam I Am

Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure
Monday we went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. My mom and dad got us all 2 yr passes to both parks for our early Christmas. We have never been before. We chose the perfect day to go on Monday. The park was so empty as the first picture demonstrates. We had many experiences with the Dr. Seuss characters in Suess Landing. More pictures on that tommorrow. The picture of concrete with something engraved in it was at a ride called the Flying Unicorn. More details on Jurassic Park tommorrow.
Look how empty it is!
Guess what this is! (guess and find out tommorrow!)
We are entering the land of Jurassic Park.

We went to Sea World again about a week ago. They have a new Killer Whale show called "Believe" but they weren't doing it that day. A new baby was born 10 days before and they were introducing it instead. (That is not the baby in the picture!)

Blogger will not let me upload any more pictures. I will try again tomorrow.

Sanchez Again
Me and Dad went fishing again out where we caught the gar. This time we didn't land any gar but had 10 or so on the line. It hit a peak where Me and Dad both had one on the line at the same time! We saw a Manatee come right up next to the boat and look at us! I had a gar that was so big that it snapped my line clean off. When we loading the boat onto the trailer I also caught a crab. It was very, very small.

My approx. 5" Mangrove Snapper

A big Heron

My 15" Red Drum that Me and Dad caught

An Osprey
