On Sunday, December 28th, after the hustle and bustle of Christmas, we jumped on a plane with Meme, Pepe and Aunt Val to warm and sunny Orlando, Florida.
My sister Jessica, her husband Nick and their two boys (my super cute nephews) Cole and Carter from South Carolina were going to meet us there. The kids were excited, since we had been planning this for about a year! It was a great trip! We enjoyed our time together, going to the Disney Parks, Sea World, and of course shopping! :)
Day 1 Taking an Evening Swim (Sunday, December 28th)
When we first got there, the kids wanted to swim. So in the pool they went...
Day 2 Disney's Hollywood Studios (Monday, December 29th)
Today we decided to hit Hollywood Studios so we could check out Playhouse Disney, Star Wars and Indiana Jones! Fun, fun, fun!
Day 3 A Day of Rest --Shopping and Swimming! (Tuesday, December 30th)
The kids were a little tired today, so we hung out together and went shopping and swimming together!
While we were shopping the kids spotted a lizard. Can you find him!?
The kids were excited because we found the pool at the resort with the water slide! The boys LOVED it!
That evening we went to one of Pepe's favorite Dinner Shows in the Orlando area, Arabian Knights! My nephew Carter LOVES horses, so this was one of the highlights of the trip for him! I didn't feel like dragging my huge camera, so I don't have any pictures.
Day 4 Sea World (Wednesday, December 31st--New Years Eve!!)
We started out our day feeding Dolphins at Sea World. Everyone had a blast! It was one of the things Christopher wanted to do again after coming in April. Everyone--even Meme, Pepe, Aunt Val, Cole, Carter, Aunt Jess, and Uncle had a blast!
Day 5 Sea World (Thursday, January 1st, 2009--New Years Day!!)
We spent another day at Sea World checking out the Killer Whales today. Christopher was pretty excited to have Meme, Cole and Daddy sit in the 'Splash Zone' at the Shamu Believe Show! It was a chilly day, but fortunately they didn't get wet! :)
Day 6 Magic Kingdom & Epcot (Friday, January 2nd)
Today was a long day for the kids! We started out early at Magic Kingdom and ended up at my favorite park Epcot! It was a long day, but we made it!
Day 7 Shopping! (Downtown Disney) (Saturday, January 3rd)
Today we were taking it easy again, since we had a busy day the day before. We went back to Downtown Disney to pick up a few things in the cool Disney Store there with the kids Birthday and Christmas money!
Day 8 Packing up and Heading Home (Sunday, January 4th)
The kids were a little sad today because it was time to pack up and head home. They hated to leave each other and poor Anneli wanted to stay in Florida, because it was warm!!
Fun Times....
