Thanksgiving

Eliza's first Thanksgiving was nice, we went to the parade in the city, and had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner (well Dad did anyways!).

The Parade was VERY crowded because the weather was so nice (about 60 degrees and sunny), therefore we were limited to looking at the balloons
I don't know who this character is, but the balloon is quite impressive (and Eliza and Dad look good in this pic....)

Eliza's First Flight - Walt Disney World

Dad had a conference to attend in Orlando, Florida and we decided that it would be a good opportunity for Mum and Eliza to join Dad and head off to Walt Disney World. Even though we didnt go on any rides, we did see that characters, the parade and the fireworks.

Eliza's first trip on a plane... First Class - cos that's how she rolls
Even though be held by Mum and Dad for 3 hours isnt one of Eliza's favourite things, she was very good on the plane Family picture in front of The Magic Kingdom
Mum and Eliza on "Main Street, USA". We thought that the Christmas decorations on November 11, were probably a little early

Eliza loves balloons, this one was with us most of the trip however we believe it now to be within the rafters above the security checkpoint at Orlando airport.... neither of us are sure just exactly how or when we parted company

We took a ride on the train around the park, however we could not get Eliza to agree to look at the camera (this is one of the 6 attempts!)

Fun Times

Aside from Pumpkin Picking and Dressing up, things have been pretty normal for us lately. Here is some of the day-to-day
On one of her adventures, Eliza discovered the air conditioner. Good times....

Eliza loves to spend time at the park, swinging still seems to be her favourite thing, but the slippery dip offers some "controlled" excitement as well
Ahhh, the joy of sliding on your bum!

Before Eliza's first swim lesson, you can tell that this is clearly the BIGGEST bath tub she has ever seen! She did great, no crying, not even in the rather cold lap pool
Early surfing skills being fine tuned, go Gidget!

First Halloween

Eliza's first Halloween was a good one (more for Mum and Dad than for Eliza we think!). The town we live in has a good sized parade and allows everyone to participate, it was a lot of fun.
