Yesterday was a quiet day here. Tara Legge (my niece) arrived back from her cruise and we picked her up at the airport. Last weekend she ran in the Disney Princess half marathon in memory of Mom. Last year she ran to honour Mom on the 20th anniversary of her death from leukemia. The run team (Team in Training) she is with supports Leukemia and Lymphoma.
Last night we babysat the five kids while all the other adults went out for dinner. They were wonderful kids – they watched a movie then came down for Dave to make them ice cream cones. I was detailed to read 2 chapters from a book they selected and then it was off to bed.
Today (Sunday) was a very COLD day here in sunny Florida – the highest it got was about 50 degrees F. So although I am usually the Queen of Air Conditioning, I was layered and still cold. It was disappointing that the weather didn’t cooperate for our day at Universal Studios.
Animal Actors in Action was an interesting show. It focussed on real actor animals and how they are trained.
During the show they asked for a volunteer and Tara (my niece) volunteered. She held a dollar bill out in her right hand and a macaw snatched it and then flew to the stage – then repeated that and returned it to her hand.

The 3 kids all got to climb a wall ( that privilege cost $5 per kid) and it was quite interesting to watch. Oh my gosh the money that is charged for things is something else!
