Toren is Two!!!
A couple of cute photos taken about a week ago to celebrate Toren’s 2nd birthday:

Morgans et al in Florida – Day 8 – beach, pool and photos
This was the last day of the vacation. The rest of the family had early evening flights out of Orlando. That meant we had time in the morning to go the pool and beach for a short time then pack up, take some family photos, and hit the road. The pool and beach were fun,…

Toren’s a “stick”-ler
Perhaps my worst pun ever, but it’s true. Here he is prepping a stick:

Morgans et al in Florida – Day 7 – Busch Gardens
I can’t really speak for everyone else on the trip, but I think it’s probably safe to say that most of us had relatively low expectations of Busch Gardens in Tampa. We had just visited four of the world’s most famous amusement parks – Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom, Universal Studios, and Sea World…

ice cream!
After the zoo we took Toren to McDonald’s to get ice cream cones. Debi is a huge fan and has turned me onto their soft serve cones as well. Toren has had ice cream before, but this was his first McDonald’s cone. He loved it: We even convinced him to lick the ice cream at…

Morgans et al in Florida – Day 6 – Treasure Island Beach
We drove to Treasure Island, which is a barrier island right next to St. Petersburg, and checked into some very nice condos right on the beach. We then all went out to the beach and played, then transitioned to the resort’s swimming pools, before heading in for dinner and a relatively relaxing evening. I ended…

another trip to the zoo
The same night we went to see the dinosaurs, we did a few other things. Here are Toren and Debi going down a slide together: Now Toren, kind of alone: The little girl behind him was actually watching over him as he climbed up to the top of the slide and came down. She was…

Morgans et al in Florida – Day 5 – Sea World
Day 5 took us to Sea World. Debi and I went to Sea World in, I think, 2003, over the winter break, so we remembered some of the attractions. But they have changed the shows substantially since then so there was plenty new to see. Also, we have a kid now, which changes the way…

flying like a bird
Toren has recently started pretending (I think he’s pretending at this point; maybe he’s just imitating). He crawls on all fours to be a dog. In this clip he’s flapping his arms like a bird:

Morgans et al in Florida – Day 4 – Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios
Steve and I split off from the main group this day and went to Universal Studios. If it were not for the new Harry Potter part of the park, I would not have been all that interested, but I’ve read all the books and heard a lot about the new attraction so I thought it…
