More Pictures!


Our little swimmer. She would not take these crab
goggles off but also would not put her head in the water.


Pooh, Darby, Tigger and Courtney!




Cassie's friend Andrea (worked at the SLC Airport now works
for Orlando Airport) with her daughter Breanna

really got attached to Andrea too!

Typhoon Lagoon Waterpark & Epcot

It was a LONG day today. We first went to the Typhoon Lagoon waterpark for 4 hours. They had a large wave pool, a lazy river and water slides. Chris went down the speed slide first and told me it was no big deal and it was over in a few seconds. I told him there was no way I was going down it, I could hear the screams of the frightened customers. He told me not to be a scared and try it. So I did. Chris said he could tell it was me when I went down because he could hear my scream! It was fun but I wouldn't do it again! Chris said he was proud of me for giving it a try. We felt like teenagers going down all the slides!

After the waterpark we went to Epcot. We were so sore and tired we couldn't see straight. :) We walked around the park while Courtney slept in her stroller. After she woke up we went and had her meet the characters and take pictures (Mickey, Pluto, Minnie, Chip & Dale and Goofy) I'll post the pictures when we get home. She had a blast, especially with Goofy and Pluto. Those seem to be her favorites. We went on the Seas ride (which has Nemo) and Courtney loved it as much as we did. We wondered thru all the countries and ended up in Norway for dinner. Had an interesting sandwhich and kept going thru the rest of the park. We collapsed on a bench at 7:30pm and since I forgot our jackets, I went and bought Courtney and I a sweatshirt. We sat on the bench and didn't move until 9pm when the fireworks, if it wasn't for the fireworks we would have probably gone back to the timeshare. The fireworks were worth staying for and an absolutely amazing display! We drug our feets to the car and grabbed some aloe vera on the way home as Chris and I are sunburned. Chris used 50+ sunscreen and I drenched Courtney with the same sunscreen but managed to not use any myself. I am as red as a lobster. Hopefully it will turn to a tan tomorrow (like it usually does) or it will be a long flight home tomorrow. I can't believe we leave for home tomorrow. We will all be so sad to leave Orlando. :)

Thanks for reading! Have a great day! (or night!)

Cold Front in Florida

A cold front moved in today and it was gray and yucky. The temp dropped from 83 degrees yesterday to 79 degrees today. That is a cold front???

Courtney and Chris are napping (yes, Chris LOVES to nap) and I am checking email. After they wake up we are going to do a boat ride on the lake at the resort. You can rent a swan or a yellow duck and pedal your way around the lake. Courtney will love it.

They have a sign next to the lake that says "Don't feed the alligators!" with a bite taken out of the sign. Yesterday I took Courtney's picture in front of it and I read it to her. She immediately started looking for the alligators in the water and asked "where are the croc-diles?" Too funny.

Florida Vacation

We are currently on our Florida vacation and having a blast. We went to the Pirate and Princess Party at the Magic Kingdom on Valentine's Day and then spent a full day at the Magic Kingdom on Friday. Saturday night we had dinner with Cinderella and Prince Charming, as well as Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters. As soon as Courtney spotted Cinderella she started yelling "Look mommy! Look! It's Cinderella!", it was really cute. Today (Sunday) we had a relaxing day at the beach. We went to Clearwater Beach, Florida about two hours west of Orlando. Courtney told us the water tasted like crackers and the water goes "up and down, up and down" She had a blast and slept all the way back to the timeshare. We'll post pictures when we get back! :)
