Florida Vacation, Part 5: Hannah

Florida memories according to Hannah...

I was glad when we got to Regal Palms where our vacation home was.

I enjoyed that music.

I like standing with Cinderella. That was fun!

When I barked to the Sea Lion, he barked back. That was funny.

That was extremely fun. I was playing in the water fountain on Celebration Avenue.

I enjoyed walking up in the Swiss Family Treehouse.

I was aiming at the "z's" on the Buzz Lightyear ride.

I loved the slide. It was extremely fun!

Florida Vacation, Part 4: Jay

Florida memories according to Jay...

Isn't this picture funny?

I was having fun playing in the fountain, but I didn't get that wet. But I stuck my head in at the end and got it wet. I wanted my hair to be all spikey, so that's what I did.

I had fun playing pinball. Dad was helping us by teaching us how to play pinball.

We had fun at Tom Sawyer's Island at Disney World. We ran around all over the place. It was fun.

Daniel and I liked having our picture taken with Buzz Lightyear.

We are looking at a Sea Dragon made out of Legos. I liked it.

I had fun going down the slide. Going to the pool in Florida was very fun.

On the Buzz Lightyear ride we got to shoot at things. It was fun. At one point we had to shoot the "z's" Anyway, I didn't get that many...

This is a cool action shot of me jumping off side of the pool.

Florida Vacation, Part 3: Daniel

Florida memories according to Daniel...

We were at the fountain, and we were waiting till it comed up, and it sprayed us! It was so fun. I couldn't believe it!

I was playing pinball. Dad put quarters in and told us who's turn it was. I liked playing pinball. Once when the ball shooted out and I forgot to do the flippers then the ball went back down through the flippers.

This is the Shamu Express. It was really fun. It went really fast. I loved it! I was tall enough for that ride. It was my favorite.

(he really did love this ride...it was his first roller coaster experience. all he wanted to do is ride again and again.)

Jay and I are being with Buzz Lightyear.

I'm going down the waterslide with Dad. I asked Dad if I could go down the waterslide on his lap and he let me. It was so fun! I loved it!

This is me and my green tube.

I'm jumping into Dad's hands. I look like Superman in this picture!

Florida Vacation, Part 2: Julia

Florida Memories according to Julia...

"I yike Piddet's House. It's my size."

(Julia's favorite ride was It's A Small World. She kept pointing to all the kids and calling them babies. The whole time she would gasp and laugh and point to everything.)

"I'm sitting on Daddy's soulder! On his head! I yike that! I'm having fun!"

"I'm kissing Daddy, Mom!"

"I'm sitting in Minnie's House! I yike her house."

"I'm sitting in the storrer eating my yunch. It's a sandwich. It was mummy."

"I'm in da pool. I'm wearing my baying suit. And I spwash like a dolphin, yike Samu."

"My baying suit is purple! I yike sitting in the water."

"I'm riding with Daddy on the yazy river."

Julia's thoughts on Florida:

"I yiked Fworida."

"I'm stared [scared] of Jack Sparrow. He's pretendered to be a pie-wut (pirate)."

"I yike Mickey Mouse. He's nice. He's not stary [scary]."

"I yike Samu. He spwashes."

"I yike Cinnewewa's Castle. It's pwetty."

Our Florida Vacation, Part 1

This post will be a collection of group pictures.

The next posts will highlight each kid separately.

Here we go! We have been so excited to take this trip! We're packed and on our way! It will take us two full days of driving to get there. First stop: Chick-fil-a in Hagerstown, Maryland, about 3.5 hours from home. We love Chick-fil-a and don't have one near us.

(Be sure to compare this starting picture with the ending picture...) We've arrived! This picture was taken in our townhome in Regal Palms. We loved staying there!

Silly kids...

This dragon is built entirely of Legos!

Sea World...

underwater dolphin viewing...I thought this picture was cool.
Eating a packed lunch... The exhibit on Arctic Wildlife. This was a replica of ice caves.

Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom!

They are "eating" honey from Winnie the Pooh's giant honey pot.

Eeyore's Gloomy Place...
The LONG trip home...(never quite as exciting as the trip there)

We're happy to be home (even though the weather is drastically different). We had such a good time. I am truly grateful for this wonderful vacation.
