Orlando Vacation Part 2

Continuing with the fun of Orlando, here is the rest of our trip!

 

This may seem small, but the kids got to ride a bus for the first time.  They were super excited...its the little things :)

 

They also got to pick out a balloon animal every day from the resort check-in area.  EVERY day (except one) Banks picked the "bue dog" out of the millions of choices!

 

We visited the Disney candy store and let them each pick out a treat!

 

They did pretty well with choose ONE treat :)

 

Blakely loved her Minnie rice krispie treat.

Banks loves Pooh and was so excited to see them in downtown Disney!

 

One day for lunch we ate at the TRex café.  It is dinosaur themed and SO cool!  Banks is REALLY into dinos right now so he had fun. He was a little scared because it was very dark and the dinosaurs were HUGE and made noises and moved the whole time.  Pop pop to the rescue!

 

 

They had an are to dig up fossils while we waited for our food.  That was right up their allies!

In downtown Disney we knew from previous experience that there was a pretty cool fountain.  We were prepared with bathing suits and sunscreen!

 

We did a lot of fun things in Orlando, but the majority of our vacation was spent at the awesome pools at our resort!  They had water slide, splash pads, and water playgrounds.  They were in heaven all week!

 

 

 

This little waterslide was the HIT of the week!  They must have rode that little slide 10,000x each! 

 

 

It made them SO happy and proud!

It rained almost EVERY day of our vacation, but it did not stop us!  We spent many a rainy day at the pool and had the place to ourselves. 

We love Donald Duck!

 

GG and Pop Pop brought their bikes and took the kids on lots of bike adventures.  Banks LOOOOVED to ride and asked them all week "B wide bike, wear hat."  His hat of course is his helmet which we have made sound really cool for the time being! ;)

Ready to go!

 

Now if you look closely you will see a little yellow tube coming out of that big slide. That's our Blakely girl!  She was FEARLESS and rode all the water slides.  Banks did a super fast slide two times when we first got there and it scared him off the bigger slides for the week. He had just as much fun on the smaller ones :)

 

 

Blakely can quickly transform into Banks mama and tell him what he needs to know.  Every now and then he might just listen ;)

There were tons of cool playgrounds all over the resort! 

 

The night my mom and sister went in to Disney, my dad and I took all the kids to chick-fil-a!  It was a blast but we did get some weird looks haha!

So this picture is silly, but very important!  One of these two littles' highlight of the trip was riding the elevator, and I am not kidding.  They would run and press the button, wait for the door to open, then they would know to press "three" and they would run and stand in their spots.  I don't know how each one of them claimed these two spots, but that was their place!  Literally the happiest times of the week were on that darn elevator haha! 

 

Each night they showed an outdoor movie.  It started kind of late so they only got to stay for a few minutes, but that didn't matter, they still loved it.

Story time with Pop Pop!

 

Banks got a Jake costume from GG and Pop Pop and it was hilarious!

 

Each night (that it wasn't raining!) the resort had a marshmellow roast!  Blakely liked it, but Banks LOVED it!

He was actually pretty patient while cooking his marshmellow.

 

Checking out his work....

 

Of course sampling was his favorite part ...mmmm!

Thank you GG and Pop Pop for a week full of memories and fun!

Can't wait to go back, but next time we are going into Disney!
