NASA!  Kennedy Space Center....SUPER COOL!  A personal favorite.  Our space tour got cut short when our sweet little Olive fell from a bench and got a cut near her eye. It bled a lot so they called 911. Turns out no stitches needed just a good size gash. Not a stellar way to end our vacation....spent half the day with EMT's and at the ER and then we missed our Medevial Times dinner. BUT we were so glad Ollie was ok.  Oh yeah, and the picture of Reid was funny. He stood next to the "statue" of the astronaut for a picture and then the astronaut moved and we all jumped. Not a statue  :)

And...the day the kids had been waiting for the whole trip finally arrives. A day at Walt Disney World!  They had a blast. Love all the family rides. Their favorite part was the character lunch that we had no chance of getting into but thanks to Reid's charming ways and determination we were able to be seated for lunch. They got to hug Pooh and his friends. This was a fun filled day!

Good times at Seaworld and Arabian Nights dinner show.  We all know the Shamu dance now.  Linden was all about the rides.  I even hopped on the Atlantis ride! Olive was grinning and dancing at the sight of a princess and horses at Arabian Nights.  FUN!!!

Here we are flying over Orlando from a Helicopter. It took Reid (and Linden) a lot of convincing to get me up there but it was so worth it.  The ride was pretty cool. Linden was pretty pumped over his headset that he had to wear. I was lucky enough to sit in the front with Olive, the pilot, and the best views. 

We drove to Key West for 24 hours to celebrate our Anniversary. It also happen to be some HUGE biker weekend there. We have never seen that many bikes, beards, bandanas, or leather before. Aside from that it was beautiful, interesting, (lots of history) and has amazing key lime pie. We took a sunset cruise on a glass bottom boat with the kids. It was great except when the kids started to whine. We tried reminding them that it was our anniversary and could they please just be happy for 30 more minutes? Then I remembered that I was asking this of a 2 and 4 year old. We rolled with it and had a few good laughs. Happy Anniversary!  :)

Miam was a blast!!   HOT HOT HOT!  We had our first cuban food at the famous Versailles restaurant and met a couple of locals who were very entertaining!  We flew into Orlando, rented a van and drove to Miami. We spent time at the ocean, ate good food, explored the zoo, and took an awesome drive to the Everglades. We had our hair and cheeks blown back by the fan boat ride!  Wow, is that loud. We even saw some gators, and a little gator wrestling! Linden enjoyed that A LOT!

We took the kids to Florida (our first family vacation) in September 09. They loved the airport. We sat looking at our plane which we thought was going to Florida but was actually going to LAS VEGAS!!!!  Hurry, RUN!!!  Seriously, we ran through the airport and barely made our flight. Always remember to check the boards and not trust your ticket. The kids really like riding on the airplane. It was fun to watch their reactions when we took off and landed.

This is such a great park, thanks Kristi!  Stella, Linden & Olive decided swimming in September is  A-OK. Gotta love the goggles on Olive...
