Memories of Florida Part I

At the end of March, Mom and Dad came with us on a once-in-a-lifetime vacation in Florida.  We hopped on a plane in Buffalo and flew to Cleveland to pick up Mom and Dad.  From there we flew to Orlando and started our wonderful vacation together!  One day at the Magic Kingdom, a day at our hotel, and then a day at Epcot and another morning in the hotel pool ... great way to begin that memorable time together!
Let the Memories Begin ... and they did!
First sight of Cinderella's Castle was amazing!  The boys were in awe, as were the rest of us!

Grandma and Christopher were partners in the Buzz Lightyear adventure.

Splash Mountain!
What can I say?  We LOVED it - at least most of us did.  Stephen wanted me to sit in the front seat with him because that was the one that would get drenched!  We sure did, and it was worth every moment of going on my son's first roller coaster ride sitting next to him!

Our hotel pool was fantastically warm!  We loved spending time in there, and if were up to the kids, we wouldn't have gotten out - except to go to Epcot.

And go to Epcot, we did!  There was a beautiful flower and garden exhibit going on while we were there with some amazing floral creations.  The boys wanted their picture taken with Donald Duck.

This ball always amazes me.  Fred got such a good shot of this on our way out.  We had a fun and very tiring day at Epcot, but it was way too short!  If we ever go again, we'll skip Magic Kingdom and spend more time in Epcot!

Here's another one of those fabulous floral creations. Christopher wanted to be next to Mater and Lightning McQueen.

Oh, I loved looking at these pictures again, and going over in my memories, so many, many things we did! So glad we were able to enjoy this time with you!! I love thinking of the boys, tired, happy, and not wanting to leave the parks. We all had so much fun!
