Our Vacation

Well, our vacation has ended and we are back home and back to reality. What a wonderful time we had! We spent two days at Disney's Magic Kingdom and one day at SeaWorld. And thanks to an awesome promotion for military families, our SeaWorld tickets came at no cost! Our journey started on Monday which was driving day. That evening we stopped at a hotel an hour away from Orlando and fed our bellies and took the kids swimming. Tuesday morning after breakfast we made our way to Disney World. We got checked into the hotel and settled in our room and off we went to start our first day of fun. Tuesday's adventures came along with rain...two rainstorms that required us to take cover! After the 2nd rainstorm it sprinkled pretty much the rest of the time but that didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves. We still did as much as we could. There were a lot more rides that we were able to do as a whole family than I expected. All 3 of the kids are fearless! Brikelle loved everything we went on and Bailee and Braden couldn't wait for their first roller coaster ride which Alan took them on. Seeing their expressions and excitement during the ride was Alan's favorite part! He said they both just loved it. Bailee loved the hills and Braden loved how fast it went. I took Bailee and Braden on Splash Mountain and once again they were fearless and loved every minute of it! As a family we were able to go on It's A Small World, Snow White's Scary Adventures, Dumbo, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, the Tea Cups, Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean & of course the Disney Train which took us all around the Magic Kingdom. Our 2nd day at Disney was a much more sunny day. That was the day which the kids got to meet and/or see a lot of the characters which was very exciting. Our day at SeaWorld was a fun one. I'm fascinated with the dolphins. I wish we could have one for a pet...it could live in the blow up pool in our backyard! All in all we had an awesome vacation and can't wait for the next one! We haven't decided yet if the kids or the parents had more fun! We do know that us parents totally wore the kids out. I asked Braden what his favorite part of Disney was and he told me "going back to the hotel". We walked that kids legs right off! Enjoy the pictures of our adventures!
