Florida with the Frugones

We had a fun week in rainy, windy Florida (at least we missed the snow!) We loved going to all the parks, going on rides, eating out, and mostly spending time with Megan, Carlos, Gio, Angelo, and little Christiano. Janie Kate got to spend the week with Kim and Todd, Lala, Sofi and Hogan.
Sunday: Flew into Orlando. We didn't tell the boys where we were going, we got up Sunday morning and decided to go to the airport and take a trip. We gave them a few clues, like: there are lots of oranges, borders the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico... Then after about 50 people at the airport asked them if they were going to see Mickey Mouse, they guessed Disneyworld. We got in about 5, got all checked in and took a 'water taxi'- over to Downtown Disney:
At the Lego Store (of course!)






Monday: Animal Kingdom - We also didn't tell the kids that we were meeting the Frugones there, so when we got off the bus at Animal Kingdom, they were there waiting for us, and it was a big surprise.

We met Baloo at Animal Kingdom:

Dinner was at the Animal Kingdom resort which is on the Savannah, so we walked out and saw some giraffes up close. I love this picture of Ethan and Gio.

Tuesday: Magic Kingdom- This is my favorite place, it is so clean and beautiful and fairy-tale-ish, we walked down Main Street, then through Cinderella's castle, Eli has a thing for Cinderella, we will find out more about that later.

Yes those are rain clouds

Ethan and Minnie have a moment... that Minnie is such a lady!

Wednseday: Magic Kingdom- We decided to spend another day and I'm glad we did, because we filled up another day with Tom Sawyer Island, Big Thunder Railroad again, Peter Pan's adventure again, The Swiss family Tree House, Turkey legs and...

Eli got to meet Cinderella! He was so excited to meet her, and when it was his turn, he ran up and gave her a big hug. He has been asking questions about Cinderella for two days, he wanted to know if he could go into her castle and what room was hers and on and on. Eli is always a surprise, I never have him quite figured out, he is just unpredictable.

Thursday: Hollywood Studios- Ethan went on a really big, really fast Aerosmith roller coaster with Curtis. I was really worried but he loved it. Curtis finally has a roller coaster buddy! Groom them young. Indiana Jones stunt show:

Friday: Came home- Eli threw up on the airplane. We got to see our little princess who we missed all week, it is good to be home! (But we miss you Frugones!)
