Florida!!!

Warning: A lot of pictures in this blog
We recently took a trip to Florida with my entire family.  We did a lot of walking, we stood in a lot of lines, we ate a lot, we spent a lot of money and we had a lot of fun!  We spent 5 days at the Disney parks, then one day at Seaworld!  Needless to say, we were very tired by the end of the trip.  We drove down (took 12 hours with kids) and it was long, but saved us a lot of money.
I have so many pictures, but cut it down for your viewing pleasure--enjoy!  

Here we are in front of Cinderella's castle.  For some reason my hand looks gigantic in this picture.  Maybe I've acquired "man hands" recently :) The first two days were cold then the wonderful Florida weather returned!

Here are the love birds in front of the castle

We went to a character breakfast and it was well worth it.  I especially liked the mickey waffles!  Here are the kids with most of their cousins (Wade and Kelly's kids)

Getting ready to watch the 3-D Bugs Life movie

This picture shows how much Carter loved the characters.  He would get so excited to see them and here he is pressing his nose up to Minnie's nose (twoo wove)

Riding a merry-go-round is serious business

We celebrated Ryan and his cousin, Ella's birthdays while in Florida.  He was very pleased with all his loot

Here I am at Seaworld.  Only a few hours into our day, I was graced by a blob of bird poop on my shirt.  Samantha got some on her hand and Carter also got some on his shirt and face.  Yuck!!  The only good thing that came out of this was that Carter and I got new shirts.

Samantha and Ryan being crazy in some silly hats they found
We had such a great time and thanks to mom and dad for providing the condos.
I would love to go back some day, it was well worth it!
