Sunday: 3 am came way to early. We were excited and the limo was great. We had no problem getting to our gate and were able to board early. The flights were uneventful (very nice I have to say.) The weather in Orlando was a welcomed change from the weather we had left. When we got to Give Kids the World, they welcomed us with open arms. The children were excited to ride the golf cart with our greeter Michael. They ran inside the villa to find that the gift fairy had left a bunch of surprises for them. (our bags that were 1/2 empty on the flights down are quickly filling up). We were starving so went to dinner. I then had the opportunity to go to orientation and Rick and the children went to play life size Candy Land. It was a long and wonderful day.

Day 2:
We were up early and met with Mickey and Minnie Mouse. We were also very fortunate to have Pluto, Goofy, and Mary Poppins visit the villas. Autographs and pictures were great. Then we were off to Universal Island Adventure. If you have never been here, I strongly suggest if you are in the area to hop in. The Dr. Seuss Land was very fun. We went on The Cat in the Hat ride a couple times, also One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. When met with the Seuss characters. We were able to go back stage and visit for several minutes with them. Lots of autographs and pictures. We were told we had to go on the Jurasic Park ride. Ummm...yeah...it was fun for me....but the kids not so much. It was scary and to them I can only imagine what it was like. So after that intense ride we decided it was time to find something a little less dramatic. So we went off to find the Super Heroes. We saw a few other characters along the way. The greeter with Woody Woodpecker was so outstanding. He radioed ahead and told the hereos we were on our way. We had a special one on one with the heroes. They are so amazing. We then went on the Adventures of Spiderman, (A'dra really disliked this one too, but not as much as the Jurasic Park one). The Dudley do-Right's Ripsaw falls was a favorite of Wesley's. The Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges was a favorite of everyone's. The kids begged to go on it again and again. But after being totally soaked and A'dra's teeth chattering, we stopped after the second time.
We came back to the villa and swam for a little. It was very cold water so I didn't stay long.
The kids had a fabulous day and the parents did too. So, everyone is in bed. Ready to do it again tomorrow. Here are a few pictures and not in any order...
This was on the rapid falls ride. I love the expressions on everyone's faces. It was a new lovely hairdo for me. What do you think?
This was A'dra's third proposal for the day. She didn't have a clue and was getting pretty embarrised. Cute couple?
With the Seuss Gang.
With the Super Heroes.

The oh so hilarious picture after the Jurasic Park ride.
This was not any where near everything we did, but I am trying to only put in the highlights. We hope that everyone is well! When we get home and we have a better internet connection, I will put together a slide show.
