Merry Christmas 2021

 Merry Christmas 2021 from the Gichards!

Gardening, weeding, and moose - oh my!

 Our new home has such beautiful flowers!

I have never been much of a green thumb, but the previous owner of our home did such a great job picking just the right plants to be fairly low maintenance for our property! All we’ve had to do is water and weed the beds.

Unfortunately the local moose thought the host as were their personal salad bar 🤣

Flor-lando Trip - March 2021 (part 2)

Our third park day of our trip to Orlando was to Epcot - right at the beginning of Walt Disney World's Flower & Garden Festival. Normally folks' trips to Epcot mean a lot of food - but during a festival, it means even MORE food!

Our first stop was the iconic Spaceship Earth ride.

Then we headed over to Mission: SPACE (we all rode the easier, "green" version..)

After riding the Soarin' Around the World and checking out the SeaBase aquarium, we headed into the heart of the festival and the World Showcase.
We started our culinary journey at the Honey Bee-stro.  

Then we moved on to the Canada and then the United Kingdom.
As part of the festival, there were numerous fantastic topiaries around.

We saw more character calvacades at Epcot as well, including these princesses in the United Kingdom.

There was a beautiful view of Spaceship Earth across the lake from France.

I stopped to rest my feet for awhile in Morocco. 

Italy

China

Mickey & Minnie!

A Three Caballeros sighting in Mexico!

Dad tried a "garden margarita" in Mexico - it literally had lettuce juice in it... 😬

Me and Donald 💙... oh yeah, and Daisy I guess...

Winnie the Pooh had his net ready for the butterfly house!

To end the evening, we headed back to Germany for dinner at the Biergarten Restaurant.
