Well, you may be wondering if we survived the Disney trip, and we did. It was wonderful!!! Here are some pictures and a rundown of what we did while we were gone!
We left on Monday and flew out of Indianapolis. We had a great time and the kids did an awesome job flying..no crying, no puking, no screaming...just coloring and relaxing. We stayed at the NickHotel in Orlando, which was awesome. The NickHotel is a Nickelodeon hotel and we chose to stay there so we could meet Dora and the whole Nick Gang. The hotel was very nice. We had two bedrooms, a kitchenette, a living room and a bathroom...just enough room. The pool was HUGE. It had a water slide and water play area for toddlers (which we loved) a water park area for older kids and a gigantic zero depth entry pool with sprinklers, fountains and waterfalls in it. We loved the pool. If you ask Molly and Ryan, they'd tell you they are excellent swimmers now. The NickHotel also allows children under 5 to eat free (just thought I'd let some of you moms know that!)
On Tuesday, we went to the Magic Kingdom. It rained over 4 1/2" that day. We got very wet. The water was literally flowing over our feet...but the kids didn't care and we rode Dumbo in the rain. We met Minnie and Mickey, had lunch with Pooh and his whole gang, met up with all the Disney Princesses and all sorts of people along the way. We had so much fun.
On Wednesday, we ate breakfast with Dora, Spongebob and the whole Nickelodeon Crew. That was a BLAST! We swam in the pool and when it rained (another 3"), Molly got a manicure and pedicure and then we all played in the arcade. Our hotel had a very cool arcade, much like a Chucky Cheese. The kids got to play skeeball and all kinds of fun game and in return they got some cool plastic toys and candy. We relaxed and had a good time!
On Thursday, we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM) and thought we were going to get rained on again all day, but God allowed the sun to shine, which we loved. We ate breakfast with the Little Einstein's and JoJo and Goliath from JoJo's Circus. Then we saw a stage show with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, The Little Einsteins, Handy Manny and the tools, and Tigger and Pooh. That was awesome! We saw the Voyage of the Little Mermaid and watched a Muppet's 3D Show. We had a very good time. We came back to the hotel and swam in the pool again...what a fun day. About 11:30 Thursday night, we heard Ryan throw up in his bed. We went in there and he was a mess! He threw up until about 4 am. He didn't have a fever, so we thought he got too hot (since this happens to me).
Friday morning, we got up and got our stuff ready for the plane. Molly cried because she didn't want to leave and Ryan was not sick. We got to the airport about 1:30 and there were some very bad thunderstorms. After the storms passed, the fuel pump that provided fuel to all the airplanes quit. Then the planes couldn't leave and new ones arriving had no where to go. Then when the fuel pump was fixed, we couldn't leave because we had no pilot or crew....because they were stuck in other planes on the runway trying to get in. After 6 hours of shoulder to shoulder congestion in the airport, we took off. As soon as we took off, Ryan started puking again and it was a mess!!!! The poor baby and the poor people sitting around us. It was so bad. We were so GLAD to get back to Indianapolis. But then Ryan puked in the car on the way home. We got home this morning about 12:30am. Ryan and Molly both slept like logs and Ryan is doing very well today. He still doesn't have a fever. It could be a bug, or heat, or motion, or exhaustion, or too much chlorine from being an expert swimmer now.
We are glad to be home and we hope you enjoy the pictures!
