Florida FUN!

We took a fabulous trip to Florida the first week in June.  We were SO grateful that Kenz and Jed offered to watch little Lytzi for us, it made the trip SO much easier and enjoyable and she got spoiled & had a great time with them!

We spent the first 4 days (June 3-6) at Disney World!  We were able to stay at Helinfield and Ed's home in Orlando which made it nice.
Our first stop was Magic Kingdom!  We had breakfast with the "Winnie the Pooh" Characters at the Crystal Palace, saw a few princesses, rode lots of fun rides, ate yummy food, saw amazing parades & enjoyed every minute!
 They look thrilled don't they? lol


 Just my observation, but this Tangled girl could double as Flynn Rider :)

Pirates, arrrrrgh!

Our second day was spent at Animal Kingdom!  We loved the Nemo show, the Yeti Coaster, got soaked on the rapids & had fun seeing the animals!!  Afterward we stopped at Downtown Disney!

My little drowned rat, ha ha!



Third day was Epcot! Fast track was one of our favorite rides of the trip, both kids loved it!  It was a long day of walking and the kids weren't really into epcot too much so we finished up early this day and hit the pool in Ed and Helinfields neighborhood.

Last day we were in Hollywood Studios.  We rode tower of terror numerous times along with rock'n roller coaster and loved the Fantasmic show!  It was star wars weekend so we were drowning in Star Wars fans but we loved the star wars fireworks!


 Kids were in HEAVEN to meet Phineas and Ferb


LeGrand's Mom arrived while we were here, we haven't seen her in a long time as she usually doesn't get to accompany his dad home with the missionaries.  It was fun to have her to visit with too.
  On Saturday the 7th we went to New Smyrna Beach and had a fun day playing in the ocean!  Afterwards Helinfield and Ed took all the kids and headed home and LeGrand and I found us a delicious all you can eat seafood buffet in Daytona.  We really enjoyed our yummy dinner looking out over the ocean!



Of course LeGrand had to do some 'Treasure Hunting' :)

Sunday we had a nice relaxing day at church and hanging with the family, we all took much needed naps to catch up on sleep!

Monday we left the house around noon and hit a few stops on our way to the airport to head home!



We had a perfect trip, the weather was amazing the whole time and we didn't have any hic-ups besides Loa running a fever for about 36 hours (which was probably due to her LICKING the hand rails at Epcot, crazy woman).  Oh and our flights getting home were delayed so that we didn't pull into grace until 4:30 am!

On Tuesday morning we met Kenz and picked up Lytzi!
