Day 5-Last day Animal Kingdom and Resort

Today was pretty fun too. We went to Animal Kingdom in the morning, my camera died so I don't have pictures from the park but after spending the morning there we came home and went swimming and played some volleyball. It was pretty fun!
Autumn trying to get in the car...she really wanted to go to the pool!

We played Gingrichs verses Clevelands...the Clevelands dominated of course!
favorite picture of the week. love my baby girl!
Can you blame me? Look how precious she is!
I was carrying all the towels to our chairs when we got to the pool. I walked past a guy and he was like "Can I have one?" at first I didn't know what he said and I gave him a weird look, then he said "A towel I mean." By that time I was past him and it took me a minute to realize that I probably came across as pretty rude. I felt bad so later in the pool he was over by us and I told him sorry, and that I didn't really realize what he was saying until after I was past him. His sister looked at me and was like "Oh no, what did he say to you?" I told her he just wanted a towel and she was like "Well I know my brother and he can be a little crazy. Sorry if he said anything inappropriate to you." Then she put her fingers to her lips like she was holding a cigarette and was like "We've all been there, ya know?" Being the naive person that I am I didn't really understand what the heck she was taking about. But Logan told me that the guy was high. It made me so sad. He had two little boys with him too. They were so cute and it just made me feel so so sad that they live in a home where their parents are high and drunk, what kind of life would that be? They will most likely get involved in the same lifestyle and it isn't fair. I am so glad that I was raised in the home that I was raised in. I'm grateful I was taught the values I have from loving parents who set a good example for me. I hope I can be a good example to Autumn and the rest of my children and that they will make good choices that bring happiness.

Anyway tomorrow we're going home and even though this week has been fun, I'll be glad to get home. I always love going home!

Day 4-Wekiva Springs and Universal

Today was so much fun! We didn't decide last night what we were going to do today so we slept in a bit and then got up and had breakfast and decided to go to Wekiva Springs and canoe the river. Logan and I did this when we lived in Florida and it was really fun, so we thought it would be a fun thing to do with everyone. What you do is rent a canoe or kayak and then you go down a river that is full of alligators, turtles, and wild birds. It's very beautiful, exhilarating and fun. Unfortunatly, we got there a little late in the morning and there weren't many gators out. We only say three, and none of them were a great view. But we still have a lot of fun. Kevin was freaking Aaron out by trying to get close enough to agrivate one and get it to snap. I was freaked out because we had Autumn with us and it made me really nervous. All in all it was a great time though. When we got back, we went swimming in the spring. Then we showered off and headed back to universal...







A large turtle



At Universal we visited Seuss world and Harry Potter World again! Today was SO much better. It was way less crowded and we got to ride all the rides we wanted. We had so much fun!







Autumn made a new friend. I think she wanted her marshmallow sucker...
So Grandpa Kevin bought her one :)

Brooke took this picture for Cody...her spider man boyfriend.
Aaron almost bought a shirt with fake muscles in it...seriously the shirt was 3D...those muscles poofed out.









Autumn felt the Magic in Harry Potter World....look how much she loved it. She's gonna be just like her Mamma!
This may just be our Christmas Card this year. :)
This was our FAVORITE roller coaster! It is called Dueling Dragons and Logan and I got to ride it front row, oh ya and no one else was on it. Pretty sweet huh?

Day 3- HARRY POTTER WORLD!

Today was SO much fun. Everyone who know me knows I love love love Harry Potter! I re-read the books at least once a year. I have my own pair of Harry Potter glasses. At one point in time I had lightning scar tattoos, the fake ones, ya know? I even dressed up as Harry Potter for Halloween one year...
That is why today was so much fun...because we went to Harry Potter World!
Isn't Hogwarts B-E-A-Utiful!!
Honey Dukes was full of sweet smelling sweets!
The Village was soo cool it looked fake.
They even had BUTTER BEER!!!
It was so goooooooooood!
Even Logan loved it (and he's pretty anti-Harry Potter, so that's saying something)Aaron loved it too.

We also went to other parts of universal today too. Harry Potter world was so crowded you could hardly walk around. We rode the Dueling Dragons ride twice...which was awesome. Favorite ride so far. But back to the other parts of Universal. We took Autumn to Seuss World...
She rode One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. She liked it until the end when she got all wet (check out my hand in this picture...doesn't it look like I have six fingers? Creepy...there are only five I promise)
She was so excited to ride the merry-go-round she was trying to climb the fence
and she loved it, she smiled and giggled the whole rideWe rode some other cool rides today too. We rode the Hulk ride. Pretty intense and it actually made me sick the second time we did it. Logan Aaron and I also rode one a lot like the Rocket at Lagoon. The last part of the park we went to today was Hollywood. We rode a crazy ride, I can't remember what is was called, something to do with Rock N' Roll though. This roller coaster went straight up for 60 feet and then straight back down. It was CRAZY! It actually had video. Ours are pretty hilarious.
