Destin Day 2

It's our last day in Destin.

We decided to spend one last morning

at the beach since it's been pretty rainy.

 

 

 

The boys loved swimming

and playing in the ocean.

 

When this storm started heading right
towards us they closed the beach.

 

We took advice from some friends

and ate lunch at this place

before heading out.

It was right on a pier

over the water.

and more rain for our ride to

Orlando.  The fresh Key Lime pie

made it a little better.

Welcome to Orlando

Our Drive to Orlando was a bit

rainy to say the least.

 

It pretty much rained the whole drive.

 

 

We spent our first full day

exploring Disney Springs.

In the rain.  I didn't mind the rain

so much because it kept the hot

temps down.  And I just love a

good rainy day.

We had the most amazing lunch
at Planet Hollywood.
The dessert was very interesting.

 

 

The picture below was taken

in this same spot 7 years ago.

I think they've grown a little.

 

 

 

This is the face you make when

you spend all day walking and then

stay up late watching the NBA finals

AND THEN your dad scares you while

your sleeping.

Blizzard Beach

 The boys spent today at Blizzard Beach.

I stayed and lounged at the hotel

because I am not a big waterpark person.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They came back with lots of
stories to tell me so I know
they had a great time.
 

 

 

The Animal Kingdom

When dads excited to get up

and head to the park and Cody is NOT. 

 

We finally got to see the tree of life.

I've been to Disney 3 times and we never

made it to Animal Kingdom.

I was really excited to finally see

it.  The tree was huge and so beautiful!

The Pandora section from the movie
Avatar just opened 2 weeks ago.
We were very excited to explore it.
It was soooo beautiful.  The decorations
and plants and water falls.  It all looked so real.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It had 2 rides in that section

and they were amazing!

Probably everyone's favorite

section of the whole park.

The boys tackled the

Everest coaster.  Cody was

scared at first but when he was

done he wanted to ride it again.

 

 

 

They had an Asia section in

the park.  Rylee loved it.

The raft ride was another

family favorite.

 

This dinosaur ride however
WAS NOT!

It was mostly in the dark and it was so loud.
I don't think Rylee has ever squeezed my
hand that hard!  Through the whole ride!
