The kids were really quiet earlier for about 30 minutes…this is what they did!

  

 

 

 

 

 

They could have used the slide in the back ground with the tarp, but lawn chairs are more fun I guess! They keep going back to it, and I am finding more toys migrating from their bedroom!

Anthony had a late nap and is just now waking up at 7:30!

Figures….bedtime is in an hour.

Haha.. Not a chance!

 

Today is such a beautiful day. Every day should be this nice..gentle breeze, lots of sun, not to hot, or too cold.

Washed both cars today

Fed the chickens

Fed the rabbits

Fed the kids

Ahhhh yes.

Mark left for work and I am sitting on the back porch with the two youngest. They are playing so nice together in the sandbox next to me now. The older kids will be arriving off the bus from school shortly. Carter had his summer olympics today, and the others had “play day”today. Their last day is not until next week, but it sounds like school is over, since they have no school work planned, just activities and trips.

 

   

Can’t wait to hear how their day went, and to see how many awards Carter won. He said this morning that he thinks he is the best one at the high jump. Well we shall see.

 

 

There is Supposed to be a sweet little video up there….hmmmmm, maybe it will show up later?

Anthony talks to me about seeing a BIG spider. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    Sunday when the older kids returned from spending time with their father, we had a “rest” day. Laura was just plain exhausted from all the walking around. I think we all were. We spent time at the pool inside Give Kids the World. Such a good time just relaxing.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

Grandpa time!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Me

 

 

 

 

Granny!

 

 

After we got changed we went to eat and walked around also had ice cream. The really neat thing that the kids LOVED was you can have as much ice cream all day any time of the day you want.

 

 

 

 

 

Then we walked back to our villa. This I think was my most favorite day. Getting to spend the day relaxing!

  The first day Laura and Carter were with their father at Sea World and Universal Studios so They are not in the first bunch of pictures.

Here it goes….

Some pictures from Magic Kingdom

 

 

 

 

 

 

Famous castle picture haha.

 

 

 

Poor Alaina looks HOT, it wasn’t that bad at all, she was just really active and had a ton of energy.

 

We went in Tom Sawyers caves which were really cool! Literally too!

 

The kids had no idea they were walking through faces! I didn’t either until I took the picture.

 

Without the flash it is hard to tell, especially when it is so bright outside, you can hardly see anything at all in the caves, mostly just feel your way around until you get to an exit.

 

He did really REALLY good considering for 5 days straight he was napping in a stroller.

 

 

They had fun smearing the honey off the wall to reveal the characters while waiting for the ride.

 

Next was Animal Kingdom

Jonathan and Alaina were chosen to play some instruments at the end of the Lion king show, it was so sweet.

 

It’s blurry but it was the best my camera did without the flash. I have the entire show on video.

 

Just before we went in to see Nemo the Musical. There was a HUGE spider dangling from the ceiling of the theater that was really disturbing haha! I don’t think anyone else saw it but us, I zoomed in with my video camera and it was creepy!

(Forgot to mention Marks parents were able to spend time with us also! It was WONDERFUL to see them!)

 

 

 

Staying cool!

 

 

Waiting for lunch.

 

 

 

Perfect timing for the parade while we ate!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Safari, a must do!  

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

More pictures tomorrow since I am out of time at the moment! Stay tune!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last night as a “baby” , today he looks like a big boy.

 

With a big boy hair cut.  

He even ACTS like a big boy now to go along with it. This morning he ate his eggs and sausage at the table,with no booster chair, with a fork, and drank his juice from a cup!

 

Thursday we leave for vacation. If I don’t get a chance to upload pictures while we are gone, be prepared for picture overload when we get back!

 

 

 

 

This was the look I got when I was looking through the camera and said “LAURA which hand is the better one!?!?”  (I actually was startled for a second myself and had a flashback)
