Around the World with Little Raindrop: I Visit THE World... of Disney! (Part 2 of 3)

Hiya!

Guess what?! I just got the rest of our photos from my visit to Disney World with Rebecca! YIPPPIE!!!

It was really neat to look back at what we did- I can't believe I almost forgot about the dragon! It was big, and black, and only a little bit scary... here, take a look for yourself:

I'm ready to go on an adventure!
Where will we go today?
I think I can see... a CASTLE!!!
Little drops of rain like me work real hard to keep all the trees green!
But next to the castle, I feel like a KING drop of rain!
Just watering some flowers... and, HEY-
I think someone is behind us!
We shall defeat the dragon together! They can tickle his tummy,
and I can put out the flames for my friends!
Taking a ride on the Friendship Boat!
Look at all the water... I wonder who lives in it?
What do YOU think?
Golly, I know why it's called the Friendship Boat!
Rebecca is a really awesome kind of friend to have!
She even boosted me up so I could see the water better!
Hang on tight, we're almost there!
Time for a snack! Yummy!
I think I feel a nap coming on...
Time to get up, Little Raindrop!
Maybe I will read a little while everyone is getting ready!
La la la laaaaaa...
Just hangin' outside of my favorite imaginary ride!
That rain cloud looks familiar...
I wonder if it's MY rain cloud?!?!!
Diving deep, deep down!
glug glug glug!
There's somebody swimming in the tank?
I wonder if he jumped like that on porpoise?
Get it? Hee hee!
And look who we found by our favorite Wishing Well?
It's SNOW WHITE!!!
Definitely a great way to end the day-
with friends!
What an AMAZING visit we had together! I can't believe how lucky I was to have Rebecca take me with her. She was the greatest tour guide, and her little brother was SO funny! He sure cracked me up!

And to think my trip wasn't even over yet! I wonder what will happen next?

Thanks for reading... See you around! :D

Around the World with Little Raindrop: I Visit THE World... of Disney! (Part 1 of 3)

Hiya there, Little Raindrop here, reporting to duty!

I was just relaxing, looking through my travel photo album, and suddenly I realized I forgot to tell you all about my adventures this past January! I CAN'T BELIEVE I NEVER TOLD YOU!!! You are going to love this!!!

I, Little Raindrop....

went...

to...

WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!!

Eeeeek, can you believe it?! I can hardly believe it myself! But it happened... and it happened TWICE in one month! I am one super duper lucky raindrop, that's for sure!

First, my friend Rebecca from Mr. H's class took me along with her and her family. We had SO much fun! And then, Miss Melanie took me along with her to Disney World, too. In fact, both Rebecca and Melanie were there one week right after the other, and even on the same day. Crazy, right?

I don't have all the photos from my visit with Rebecca just yet, but I do have one really special one to show you for now...

Isn't Snow White just wonderful?
*siggghhhh*
I think I might be in looooooove!
But I DO have a story and some great photos to share with you from my visit with Miss Melanie! In fact, I think I will write my whole story in three parts. The introduction, which is what I wrote just now, will be Part One. My visit with Rebecca will be Part Two. And my visit with Miss Melanie will be in Part Three!

I'll be back with more to share! Yippie!

Around the World with Little Raindrop: I go to San Diego, CA!

Hiya kiddos!

Today I'm going to show you pictures from my trip with Andres to... San Diego, California! COOL!


In the plane, about to take off! 

Nice day at the beach!

Wow, what a view!

On the shoes of my friends.
*sniff sniff* What is that SMELL?

Ahhh, the ocean feels GREAT!

Surf's up, duuude!

Albert Einstein said some pretty smart stuff!
He says we should learn to strive for happiness,
and not for success. That sounds good to me!


Cool, the Star III submersible!


In front of the Birch Aquarium!
These whales seem tiny compared to the real thing!

At the Birch Aquarium! Hooray! Aquariums are my favorite!
Visit the Kelp Cam to see live fishies swimming!

Look at all the fish!
Hey- I think I know that one...

Jolla Shores look so tiny from way up here!

Sunning myself on a kayak at Coronado Island!

Here we are at Legoland, California!
Albert Einstein, made of Legos,
and it looks like something is coming out of his nose!

Mini people, mini golfing!

Hanging out on Hagrid's hand!
Old Town, San Diego.
It sure looks old to me!

Mason Street school, the old school in Old Town!

I wouldn't want to get into trouble at Mason Street school...
SIX lashings for playing in the creek?!?!!
Sheesh! I'd be in trouble ALL the time!

Nice Ferrari, man!
We had such a great time! Andres and his family took me to some really unique places, and I learned so many new things. I even went online to learn a little more about the man Albert Einstein... he was super smart! Think about these quotes:

“Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.” 

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.  We need a new way of thinking if mankind is to survive and move to higher levels.”

Now tell me, which is your favorite quote, and why? I think you know which one is mine! :D
See ya 'round!

Around the World with Little Raindrop: My Visit to Texas!

Hiya kids, Little Raindrop here!

I've got some great photos to share with you from one of my latest adventures! My good pal, Alex, took me with her on her visit to San Antonio, Texas... and we sure had a SPLASH- uh, I mean a BLAST!

We traveled by air and flew right past my  old neighborhood- hey, wait...
I THINK I SEE MY HOUSE!


Then we watched a ceremony at Lackland Airport...

...to see Alex's cousin graduate! Congratulations!

Look how close we got to the plane!

And we learned that heroes, and dangers, come in many shapes and sizes!

Then we visited San Antonio's Sea World theme park.

I got to visit with my whale buddies, Shamu and friends!
It was great to see them all again!

I'm sure going to miss them, but Shamu told me I could
keep an eye on him from the Shamu cam, and you can, too!

Next, we discovered the Alamo!
Well, WE didn't discover it, but we definitely explored it!

What a cool building!
 
You girls really know how to lift a guy up! :)
  
hee hee! This tail is tickling me!

This cactus does NOT tickle!

Ouch! Who thought of this idea??

Eesh, I'm starting to wonder if these people like me anymore!

Even though I got pricked a few times, I still had a TON of fun with Alex and her family! I went to all sorts of new places, and saw some old faces, too! Now, where is my First Aid kit???

Until next time, my Little Water Heroes!
