Orlando Trip with the Sandovals!

Last weekend we loaded the family into the van and headed to Orlando to spend time with Danny, Vycci, Issac and Marina before they started their Disney week vacation. We had such a great time with each other, and the kids had a blast getting to know and play with their Colorado cousins!

On our first day, Saturday, we met up at Bahama Breeze for lunch. It was a beautiful day, and we got to eat lunch on the outside patio. Then we all headed to the hotel to check in and get settled before going to the movie theater to see High School Musical III. The kiddos LOVED it, and the adults (for the most part... CHAD) enjoyed it also. That evening we took the kids to the pool and ordered pizza for dinner.

Sunday morning we all got up and had a yummy Village Inn breakfast, and spent the rest of the day in Downtown Disney. I had no idea that there were so many things to do, so many shops, so many restaurants!! The highlights, for me, were the Once Upon a Toy toy store and the prehistoric times themed restaurant where we had lunch. The toy store was set up so that the kids could assemble some of the most popular toys; light sabers, Mr. Potato Head, princess jewelry boxes, and so on. Lunch was very fun - the restaurant was set up to have sections that were themed around prehistoric times... including a huge ice glacier in the middle of the restraint. A suprise for us was that they did a meteor shower show about every 20 minutes... and if you know our Kenny - he doesn't do too well with flashing lights and darkness. When the first show happened he shot over to my lap so quick, and Caitlynn hid under the table! Once they both realized it was all just a show, they were fine for the rest of the time.

After our late lunch we had to get on the road to head back to Jacksonville, and Danny, Vycci and the kids had to head to their Disney hotel to meet up with Danny's folks. We had such a wonderful time with them, and only wish we could have spent more time together!
