Vacation Day 1

Early rise..we woke boys up about 4:30am. D was pretty much up quickly and was excited to go to the airport. Bry wasn't so excited and I thought he might just have to go to the airport in his PJ's. After about 15 min or so he let us change him and put his clothes on. Out the door and to the airport. They boys did excellent on the airplane and made mommy and daddy very proud.

Arrived in Orlando and D couldn't wait to see Mickey!! We took a bus to our resort The Animal Kingdom Lodge and had lunch while waiting on our room to be ready. We also went to one of the lookout stations and saw giraffes feeding. An ostrich also came out from behind a tree and headed over for a stack of food the ranger was putting out...pretty cool. A wonderfully nice lady at the reservation counter changed our room, because she didn't think we would like the one we were set up for. What a nice woman.....we ended up with a wonderful view of the pool from the 4th floor with the elevator almost right outside our door. (Very convienent). Our room was very nice and clean and the pillows were very comfy!!

We had hoped the boys would take a nap with full bellies, but it didn't happen. So we decided to change into our swimsuits and head for the pool. B was a little scared and finally we went in the water. It didn't take long and B and I were out of the pool and cuddled in a towel. The water felt fine but it was just a little cool for B and his teeth were chattering so we got out. Daddy and D swam for almost an hour or so while we sat on the side and watched. Now when we went back to our rooms the boys were ready for a nap. They finally settled and took about an 1 1/2 hour nap. Daddy even caught a cat nap too!

Mike's cuz picked us up about 6:30pm or so and we headed to their house only about 20minutes away. They cooked steaks, chicken, pasta, veggies and two great desserts. Two other couples were there with kids and my boys had a great time playing with all the other kids.(sorry no pics here...I totally forgot...don't know what happened to me!!) We didn't get back and into bed until 11:30pm.....we hoped the boys would sleep in a little late the next day!!!!!!!

So that's how our first day of vacation went. I will post pics later on tonight and then we'll move on to Day 2. We really enjoyed it!!!!!
