Orlando!!!!

Yeah! We got to go to Orlando for Spring Break and we had a blast as always! We just love that city, there is so much to do and such a great atmosphere there! This time we did a bit of everything, Sea World, Downtown Disney, Fantasia Put Put, Magic Kingdom and more! We aren't used to going with such major crowds and traffic was not pretty on the way down. On day 1 we got to swim at a very cool pool with a viper water slide and then we headed to Downtown Disney. We usually feel so rushed when we go there so we dedicated the whole afternoon and evening to really explore. My new favorite shop, besides the Goofy candy store is the Mickey Christmas Shop! So many wonderful goodies for Christmas in there, I will definetly be going back in September to buy some stuff for Christmas. Of course Paxton loves the Lego store and Lorelei loves the "Princess" store. We ate at the T Rex Cafe which was yummy! Pax was disappointed because they sat us in the "Water/aquarium" part and not near the mean dinosaurs. My bad, Pax, next time we will!
A little wind came through right at right moment!




Yummy, Extinction Dessert!
Riding the boat through Downtown Disney, so relaxing!


Day 2 we headed over to Sea World. Seriously wonderful. If you have never been you must take your kiddos! They have wonderful shows and a few rides for those thrill seekers! We got to feed fish to the stingrays and pet dolphins! But really the shows were very well done and it wasn't crazy crowded there either. We definitely want to go back sometime!

The birds kept stealing the fish we were trying to feed the stingrays.


Petting the dolphins


The Pirate Sea Lion show, very funny and cute! The kids were cracking up the whole time!


The Killer Whale show, quite amazing! We were in the soak zone but luckily we didn't get soaked this time!
Did I mention it was HOT that day?






The Dolphin/Bird show. Kind of a weird mix but they did a good job bringing the story together.


This was this crazy fat toad in the shark exhibit, not sure why he was there? But the kids thought he was hilarious and wanted to take a picture to remember him.
The underwater shark tunnel.
The kids and I checked out the aquarium while Josh hit the big roller coasters that Paxton was not tall enough for yet.



Always wanting to take a silly picture!
The next day was much Cooler! So we went to Fantasia Put Put next to Hollywood Studios. It was a great little course with all kinds of cute things in the course to amuse the kids with.


Lost a ball already!
The view of the Tower of Terror from the course.


That evening we went to Disney's Boardwalk/Beach Club area and resorts. I have always wanted to go over there but we always run out of time. Such a neat area and you can walk right into Epcot from it, we definetly want to stay there sometime!




We ate at Cat Cora's Kouzzina, a Greek restaruant. It was good but very different food.
Silly girl!

The last day we went to the Magic Kingdom and of course first thing we had to do was visit Rapunzel. Well, TWO hours later we got to see her and Flynn Rider! Josh and I took turns standing in the crazy long line while the other one took the kids on rides nearby. I must say it was worth the wait. The kids got to color and dance with Rapunzel and Flynn. Lorelei was so happy, sporting her Rapunzel outfit too!







Pax, still trying to get that sword out of the stone, every year!


Gotta have our Peter Pan too!


It was a great trip, so glad we got to spend some time hanging out and relaxing with the family!
