Ian had a play at school recently called "The Hall of Presidents". Each kid picked a president's name out of a hat. They then had to write a short speech about their President and then say the speech while dressed up like their President. Ian got Abraham Lincoln.





Their speech had to have their name, which President they were, their home state and a fact about them.

This is video of his speech.

My name is Abraham Lincoln. I was the 16th President of the United States. My home state is Illinois. I freed the slaves and saved the Union.

{Splash Mountain without the Splash}

On our recent trip to Disney at the end of February, one of our favorite rides, Splash Mountain was closed for refurbishment. It's always a bummer when a favorite ride is closed down. Lisa and I got a pleasant surprise when we walked by though.



You could see so much cool stuf while there wasn't any water on the ride. You could see the tracks, see people on different parts of the attraction working and you could stand there and really look without fear of getting soaked.




Have any of your favorite rides been closed when you visited?
