The Field

Across the street from my in-law's house is a large field in which the boys love to play when the grass is not too high or too wet.  When we went in to celebrate Christmas, the field was relatively dry and it had been mowed fairly recently, so the boys took the opportunity to run and play and I took the opportunity to take some priceless pictures.

Winter Vacation

What with the change in employment and all, we were unable to take a proper vacation in 2010, so we decided, rather spur of the moment, to take off the first week of January 2011 and travel to Orlando, Florida to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure.

Here are a few pics with some of the Hogwarts Express Conductors...

Of the whole experience, I'd say one of my favourite (sic) parts was eating at the Three Broomsticks.  It was an identical recreation of the movie set that had really good food for breakfast and lunch and, of course, ice cold Butterbeers to boot.  Here we are enjoying the famous beverage.

Cheers!

Got Butterbeer?

Kim and I toast to good health in the Hog's Head which was adjacent to the Three Broomsticks.  (The hog head in the background actually moved and snorted at you!)
