The Past Week

Oops....we must've been having so much fun we forgot to post on the blog! I saved my notes so here are some highlights: We enjoyed a couple of more days at Disney this past week. Dayne had to go to the Indiana Jones show at Hollywood Studios because this is where his trauma began last time we were here. He was 5 and terrified last time he saw this show. We threatened him with everything, including making him leave Disney and he was fine with any consequence! He DID NOT want to see that show! As we watched it at age 14, I realized I might have been a little too harsh on him back then! It was very loud and it really was a bit action packed for a sensitive 5 yr old! We went back to ride the Dinosaur ride at Epcot because the kids enjoyed it so much! The first time we rode it with Turner it was pretty intense and scary. There was a part on the ride that we stopped for about 30-45 seconds and it built up the tension to create more of a scare for us all! I thought surely it was supposed to do that, but after riding two more times, we discovered it WASN'T supposed to stop! Cole was really freaked out! Kids make life so much more exciting! We watched the LIon King show and the kids enjoyed it so much, they played Disney Pandora stations the entire way home! We have covered most of Disney that we want to see, but we are going back tomorrow and Monday to finish our last two days. We love being at the parks and just seeing the details they put into everything makes Disney new every time we go! Tuesday was a great day to relax...after getting Chris from the airport, we relaxed, swam, ate dinner at a local steak house, and hit Downtown Disney. We spent the night in a cabin so we had a little break from the RV and enjoyed more movie time! Monsters University came out so what other movie would we go see? After all, we are in Orlando, FL! Wednesday mom cooked a delicious roast and we headed out to church. I always love visiting churches out of town because we get to see how God is moving all over His kingdom! We enjoyed a service about living a blessed life! Cocoa Beach was next on our agenda. We took a little road trip to get there, but it was amazing! Chris taught the boys how to actually use the boogie board they bring to the beach every year! Cole caught the first wave and fell in love! Dayne learned later in the day. I stepped on an eel. Yes, you read that right. Ok, ok. I don't KNOW that it was an eel (probably not), but it FELT like an eel. It was creepy and I had to get over the creepy factor to stay in the water! I can't wait to go back to the beach! The kids walked over and begged for Hibachi...we found the perfect place right by the beach but they didn't want to wait so I followed the GPS to a little Sushi Hibachi place back in orlando, but you had to watch the guy through a glass and sit at regular tables because this was the "Express" version. Oh well! We are looking forward to a great week ahead and wrapping up our time! I think Dayne is getting a bit homesick. He asked if we could go home early! We will see. We will see!
