Meet Riley

He's Em's friend Courtney's new pup. Isn't he just the sweetest? He's so young, all he wants to do is snuggle and sleep. If only they stayed this calm and this little forever! What a face, no?

I think I'm in love.

I bought the full version of Photoshop, and I am IN LOVE. Opened up this first photo, applied curves, and LOVE the outcome. I know her top lip is red . . . it is IRL, due to severe allergies. Not editing that out. I even shot some photos in RAW and will work on processing them. Why? Because I can. I also bought the Scott Kelby book, and I'm loving it. He cracks me up. Did I mention I'm in love?

Easter?

In the snow? Yep. We went to an Easter egg hunt, and had to wear hats, mittens, and winter coats. Good times!

Here is the evidence!

I took a few scenery photos today, and altered them on the computer. Love the effect!

Vacation Photos - MGM Studios

This was the most relaxing of all the parks. Not too many people, and fun things for Jenna. No lines, no fuss. We went to Playhouse Disney, of course. That was fun. We also saw the Little Mermaid show. Not all that impressive, but Jen loved it. Also saw the Muppet movie. I remember watching the Muppet Show as a kid, and found it to be HILARIOUS. So this is my second favorite 3-D movie. We talked to a guide, who told us the Incredibles were right inside one of the stores, in a back area. What a treat! It's Bill's favorite movie, and he loved meeting them as well. Jen gave Elastagirl a great big hug. It was so sweet! We also went through the movie ride, and Jenna is still talking about it. She walked the catwalk for a necklace of beads. She was hilarious! We also saw the High School Musical performers. Jen was enthralled

Well, I have to say this is not my favorite park. Not at all. Too busy, too many lines, too hard to get to. But fun for little ones, that's for sure! You can tell it's old school, and you spend too much time waiting in lines. I just don't like spending my time like that. The best attraction for us was Mickeys PhilharMagic I am a sucker for all of the 3-D films, and this was THE BEST. So many awesome Disney film moments. We did the teacup ride, the Dumbo ride, "It's a Small World" and sat on a porch watching the parade. Then it got HOT. So we went back to our place for a swim.

Vacation Photos - Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom is my favorite park now. It used to be Epcot, but the more I explore in AK, the more I love. We went on the safari, and walked the trail in Africa. We watched some performers, and Jenna got her face painted as a leopard. We then went to the tree of life and watched "It's Tough to be a Bug." Jenna was scared. I love the 3-D movies, but I have to say this was my least favorite. Too loud. I missed the story. We went to see "The Lion King" show. A-MA-ZING. What a cool show. I felt bad that we missed the Nemo show, but by the time we got over there the next show was two hours away, and we couldn't do it. TOO HOT. TOO TIRED. Jenna bought a stuffed leopard on our way out, and she lugged it around with her the rest of the trip. This is the park I can't wait to go back and see more of.
