Florida 2012

We are pleased to report we have been bleased with beautiful weather here. It is 84 and sunny again.

Thought we would send out a vacation update. Going backwards.... Today, we have been in the pool all day so far, the kids are loving it! My parents went to have lunch and visit with the Ward's for the afternoon. Tonight they are planning to take the kids somewhere and Arden and I are going on a Dinner date. It will be nice to go out alone since he will be in Cocoa Beach windsurfing the rest of the vacation.

Yesterday, we spent the day at Magic Kingdom. It was a historic day there - it was the first time they were open 24 hours straight. We only lasted until about 11pm but we had over 13 hours in by that time. Adalin saw every princess and Aden spent a lot of time on the racecars. And of course, we all did the rides. Unfortunately, Mickey's Toontown wasn't open since they are changing it into Fantasyland, but the plans for Fantasyland look really neat. Also, the electric parade was awesome! We saw 4 different neat parades yesterday.

Tuesday, we spent the day at Animal Kingdom. We went on a very neat and realistic Safari, got wet on the rides, and checked out some cool animals.

Monday, we explored the Orlando Science Center and went food/supply shopping. The OSC was a fun place, it had a lot of things for kids and adults to do. Aden's favorite was the 3 flight simulators(he was a good pilot - he could take off and land better than the adults). Adalin's favorite thing was the Bob the Builder area, it was a huge area with tons of building activities and characters to climb on. We also saw a video on Animals in the Cinemadome.

Sunday, we flew into Florida. The flights were on time but our second flight was a little turbulent. Unfortunately, Aden got sick, at least it was on our descent into Florida. After about an hour on the ground he was good to go so we unpacked at the house and headed to Downtown Disney for supper. We ate at the House of Blues then watched the street performers. The kids also each picked out something special, Aden chose a lego boat and Adalin a Belle princess dress.

Love,
Tracy
