A Little Of This And A Bit Of That.

We are home and all the photos are now downloaded into the computer. I can't believe I forgot the cord. I wasn't the only one who forgot something, Hubs forgot his bathing suit and realised when we were nearly there. Lily, being the ever-helpful child that she is had a solution, "Daddy can't you just go skinny dipping?" Yeah, cracked me up as well. Mainly the vision in my head of the other guests faces at the water park when hubs trots out in his birthday suit. You can safely assume that we purchased him a new one as I didn't want to spend my whole 4 days trying to bail him out of jail.

We thought that we would go to one of the water parks there but weren't really sure if it would be to cold for us. We are quite wimpy when it comes to water temperatures, especially Rosie who still turns blue if she is sitting under a ceiling fan. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the water temperatures met our requirements and dove right in.

I'm a rock star.
Whizzing through the rapids. Possibly our favourite thing to do there.

After that much fun and energy expenditure it was time for a little dinner. Since Jacob spent many years in the North East he loves him some Lobstah.

The girls thought this car was incredible

I think Jacob ate about that much lobster that night.



One morning we drove to a nearby town and met some of our friends from our Wednesday playdate. H moved away with her family and so did K. K was driving back to Miami for a visit and so we all met up at H's new house for breakfast. The kids got to see each other and play and we got to catch up. We fell in love with the area that H lives in now. Hmmm, a dilemma.

Breakfast on the patio. The pool was freezing.

Rosie. The child ate her weight in pancakes.
Reunited again.


Later that day we went for a swim at our hotel. It wasn't successful as the water was sub-zero. Other people were swimming but I think they must have been wearing invisible wetsuits.
A somewhat deflated Rosie when she realised just how cold the hotel pool was.
She tried really hard to pretend she wasn't cold but those lips of hers told a different tale.
Lily braved it and swam for a little while
Also pretending she wasn't cold
Looking alot more cheerful once she realised we were about to do something that she wanted to do even more than swimming.
Lily had a little SNAFU upon returning to the room. Daddy left the seat up and she fell in. She will kill me if she realises I posted this one.


No time to waste. Off for some Crazy Golf. We have never played this with both kids before and now I know why...they are mental. We had such a great time. Lily hit one ball so hard that it went missing. Lilipop, our star athlete does not excel at golf but she makes it a lot of fun.

It was a pirate themed golf course.

Inside a cave.
The manic miniature golfer. She managed 2 holes in one!
The whole motley looking gang.
Later on that night we headed out to Downt0wn Disney where we met up with Buzz.

Last year at this time we were in Orlando with Andie and everyone except Rosie and I took a helicopter flight. Rosie hasn't forgotten that she didn't get to go so Jacob promised her that next time we went she could go too. She made sure he kept his word.

She was very happy.

and a little nervous.
having Lily there helped her be brave.
She got to fly over the waterpark.

I stayed back at the hotel packing.....sometimes I have to much fun!


That sums it up rather well. We had loads of fun and it flew by a bit to quick but isn't that how it is? We purchased annual tickets to aqua*tica as we love it there and it offers a great variety for both the girls and us to. So now the mountain of laundry taunts me and reminds me that it is back to the real world. The real world is also lots of fun so I don't mind at all.
