Orlando Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation to Orlando Florida, over Thanksgiving and the first week of December.  We visited Disney World and Universal Studios, ate a scrumptious Thanksgiving meal with the Sims, enjoyed the heated pool at the resort we stayed at, and savored our time together.  Here are the first few days, I'll post more as I find the time during this busy season.

November 25th -26th

 We started traveling Monday morning.  The kids woke up to Christmas decor and stockings on the couch.  Inside the socks were Disney slippers and a ticket to go to Disney World.  The ticket requested that they leave photos for Santa on Christmas Eve to show the fun they had on the trip.  We drove 6 hours to a Wakula State Park in Florida.  We stayed at an old lodge that evening.  The next morning we had breakfast in the dining room and then left for Orlando.

November 27th

 We spent our first park day at Islands of Adventure, a part of Universal's theme parks.  The kids had a great time, and used plenty of energy.  Eric absolutely loved the Spiderman ride, Wendy liked the Dr Seuss Carousel, Zachary liked getting wet at the Jurassic Park play area, and Hyrum liked being a part of everything.  I liked the play area as well, because I could sit and rest while the children played.
