Gators, Frogs, and Bad Ocarina-playing

It's been another month since our last post, and now that finals are over I can take some time to update!

We haven't really been back to the parks with Ted since March/early April, but this morning I took Ted with me when I went out for my walk. There's a gator that hangs out in the two ponds up the street from us, and I've seen him/her a few times when I've walked by.

Unfortunately he wasn't out this morning-figures.

Nice spot for a picnic though. Maybe next time we could bring some salmon and make a day of it.

 

I also received an ocarina yesterday that I ordered off Amazon; it's a basic 6 hole pendant and I'm fairly sure it's an alto pitch (the listing didn't specify). I've been wanting to learn how to play an instrument again and I can already play a semi-coherent version of Lugia's song from Pokémon 2000!

Just don't expect us to put on a concert anytime soon.

 

I have another ocarina on its way-this one is a 12 hole ocarina in the soprano pitch range. Let's hope I won't be damaging anyone's ears while I practice.

We also have another bear in the household! Hallmark apparently has a (new?) line of plushies called "Itty Bitty" that I think is their answer to Disney's Tsum Tsums. We couldn't leave their kiosk without bringing home a Kermit and Fozzie.

Now how could you resist these faces? They're almost as cute as me. :)

 

We might be going back to the parks again soon, and there's some new attractions that recently opened up over in Orlando. With any luck, Ted will have more stuff to post in the near future!
