Day 3




I was very busy with the competition today:) It was title night so there wasn't much down time. The kids did a little swimming in the pool at the house. It was beautiful! It was outside, but had an enclosure around it to keep out the bugs. It was also so warm and clean with plenty of room to swim around!

We had dinner down at Picaboo. They had great lasagna! Colin ate a whole container of fruits and Tatum enjoyed the chicken fingers. Afetr dinner, we went for a walk over to the playground and beach. The Dolphin and Swan hotels share this area. It was nice outside with a little breeze:) The kids liked the feel of the sand on their feet. They went at it going down the slide and driving the boat. (the structure was shaped like a boat and had steering wheels in the front)

We walked back to the hotel and the kids played with the girls. They played tag and then did ring around the rosie:)

Day 2





The kids did a great job the first day of the competition!
We headed over to Hollywood Studios for the evening. First, we took a ferry over. They loved it! We saw Voyage of the little mermaid. It was so cool. It even rained in the theater! We ate on the boat and had hot dogs and root beer. We went to Disney's Animation studio and we even got to meet Mickey mouse in person. The kids also got to go into a play scene from Toy Story. Fun had by all!!!

Disney








We had a great day in Florida. The kids had waffles for breakfast and hung out while I did some work over at the competition. The girls had title classes and such today.

After lunch at the Rain forest cafe, we went back to the hotel to check on the girls.

Then We went over to the Magic Kingdom and stayed for 4 hours!!! They did great! It rained twice and poor Nana got the brunt of it, but it sure did cool things off:)

We started on Dumbo and then went over to the carousel. The horses were so high and the kids kept neighing...how cute. From there, we dried off and headed over to everyone's favorite, It's a Small World. Colin's eyes were huge and Tatum kept pointing to everything. Pooh Bear's Honey pot came next. I love that ride. Tatum liked how pooh got stuck in the tree. Colin loved how the pot bounced when we came to tigger's part!

We found the buzz lightyear ride and fun was had by all. The kids even shot the lasers and scored a good amount of points.

Then it was time for gifts. Colin picked a buzz lightyear stuffy and hasn't put it down since. As a matter of fact, he is sleeping with it now! Tatum chose a snuggly tigger and it is also with her.

What a great day!! Tomorrow after the competition, we're off to Animal Kingdom!!
