We had a great trip! We are all so glad we were able to get away and enjoy some beautiful Florida weather with eachother and friends! Here is a run down of our week...the goods and the bads.
Saturday:
Was perfect! We slept in, made it safely to the airport and on the plane with no problems! Jak and Frank both LOVED the plane! It was so neat to see Jak so excited! Florida was hot and sunny and the house was perfect!
Sunday:
We took our time getting ready and headed to Disney's Wide World of Sports to watch the Braves/Astros game. It was HOT, but fun! The kids were complaining, so we really didn't get to see much of a game, but it was for sure a great experience! Then, we hit the pool, which was so nice!!!
Monday:
Magic Kingdom!!! My favorite day! We accomplished a TON considering the crowd level there and the wait time to do anything!!! Plus, we had a crew of 9! haha I love Magic Kingdom. Nick and I commented on how awesome it is that it hasn't changed since we were little. They have kept it all the same...minus the new additions. Everything that is still there is still the same! Jak, on the otherhand, didn't enjoy the park so much. He just wanted to go swimming. Maybe he was still too young. I think he had fun, but I didn't get the reactions I thought I would from him. His favorite parts of Magic Kingdom were Buzz Lightyear ride, Splash Mountain, the parade, and the train!
Tuesday:
Park day and Pool day! That's it! :) It was a fun day!
Wednesday:
Animal Kingdom. We went on the absolutely neatest safarri! So amazing! We also saw the Lion King show, met Pocohontas, and Goofy, and Maddie, Lynndi, and I rode Expedition Everest! So fun! Afterwards, we found out that Ben and Lainey had been sick and we needed to get home. Bummer! :(
Later that evening, Lynndi, Maddie, Benjamin, Nick, me, Jak, and Frank all headed to Epcot for the fireworks show! That was sooo neat! We wish we could have been there longer! We really enjoyed Epcot!
Thursday:
Pool day!!! Nick was also able to go to the PGA Bay Hill Invite! He really enjoyed that and I am greatful he was able to do that!!!
Friday:
Pool day!! Last one! We also packed up and then went to Downtown Disney for dinner and shopping! I really enjoyed it! We could have spent a lot longer there as well!
Saturday:
Travel day...but...it was not as we all had anticipated! Benjamin and Lynndi woke up with the flu bug that was going around the house. They decided to not fly home Saturday, but rather fly home Monday. Just as we were ready to load the van, Jak complained of a stomach ache. Bummer! We left anyway, hoping it was just a coincidence, but it wasn't. Poor guy was sick all the way home to Plymouth. Once we got home he laid on the couch until bed and then slept for 15 hours! He woke up Sunday morning just perfect!!!! Hooray! We were never so ready to get home!!!
Overall, we really did have a great trip! I wish we could have all been healthy and able to enjoy the entire week! We'll have to go again and try it another time! :)
Thanks to everyone who prayed for our safe/fun travels! Here is a link to the pics! I'll post some on facebook, but not all of them. There are 353! LOL!
