What a great time we had!





We are all a little tired, and glad to be home, but what a great time we had the past week in Florida! We spent the week with Jill, Tom, Taylor, Jordan, Grandma Judy, Grandma Sue, and Papa Dennis. Thanks again to Jill and Tom for sharing their time share with us. The kids enjoyed swimming, mini-golf, playing Legos at downtown Disney, and even more swimming. We have a bunch of fish!
On Sunday we went to MGM studios and saw some amazing stunt shows. Jake and Noah really liked the Indiana Jones stunt show. Jake, Papa, Jeff, Jill, Taylor, and Tom also took on the Rock and Roll rollercoaster. WOW. That was the wildest ride I have ever been on! Tower of Terror was also quite a ride!
Monday brought us to Animal Kingdom and breakfast with the Disney Charachters. The food was great and we were able to get many pictures. Noah, Jeff, Grandma Sue, Papa, Jill, Tom, and Taylor all rode the new ride Expedition Everest. Lots of fun - but we really liked the safari and being so close to the animals!
Tuesday was a 'rest day' - just swimming and then dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. Papa and Tom also played a round of golf in the morning.
Wednesday we were off to EPCOT where we all rode Test Track a few times. Lydia liked having her hair blow all over the place as we cruised at 65mph. The kids all got passports to have signed at each of the countries. We also took in Soarin' which was also an amazing experience - flying over California! We topped off the night with fireworks.
Thursday brought us swimming in the morning and Trick-or-Treating at night at the Magic Kingdom. We all went in costume and had a great time! Noah and Jake braved Space Mountain and we all stayed awake until we closed the park at midnight.
Friday was the recovery day - swimming, last minute shopping and packing to come home. We caught a 7:45 flight and were back in Minnesota by 10:15. We took naps yesterday, mowed the lawn, worked on laundry, and school work.
What a great time we had, but it is good to be home again!
