So we had a later flight out of Orlando on Thursday and spent the morning finishing up packing and checking out of our condo. Oh the condo was pretty great. It was a four bedroom with three full bathrooms. It was nice not to be right on top of each other! Also we were able to do most of the laundry so we came home with very few dirty clothes. That was great because the last thing you want to do is come home and do TONS of laundry! <---we had been gone for 9 days! So we left the condo and then did some souvenir shopping and then also visited the Nike store and found each of the kids some new shoes. We got to the airport in plenty of time to have lunch and relax before the dreaded flight. I was praying hard that Ashlyn would be better this time. We got boarded and found seats so that two of us sat in front of the other three family members. This one older gentlemen first sat next to me and then realized our crazy trio and had his teenage daughter switch with him. Smart Man! So Ashlyn did do better, but was still no peach. Brian and I passed her back and forth over the seats to keep her happy. This set up was so much better. She did take a couple hour nap that really helped. As we were landing though she was in fits and would not sit in her seat and buckle up so I just held her, really really tight! One thing that happened on the flight that could have gone real bad was the smart man above mentioned tripped his wife, on accident of course. I asked the girl if her parents had been fighting, she laughed thankfully and knew I was joking. Anyways it was a pretty bad fall like she could not breath maybe a broken rib. Brian and I thought we were going to have to land for medical attention. However we continued to fly onward and made it to Phoenix. They wanted the lady to get off first and seriously some rude people, still only think of themselves, and started to claim the aisle. What's wrong with people!!! Anyways we got out and retrieved our bazillion bags and made it home. The boys picked up something on the flight so the rest of spring break was spent to fevers. But it was also nice not to have to go anywhere and just relax. It's so true that you need a vacation from the vacation, especially if you have small children.

Animal Kingdom

Wednesday we had one more day for parks and decided to go to the Animal Kingdom. I have never been there and really didn't know what it was all about. So we got there all a little on edge because of being out so late the night before. The park was okay, honestly we didn't do very much. I think the kids were just over the park affair. When we first got there both boys were arguing about which area we should go. Rayle was really being a pain so I just wanted to leave, and we almost did. It was an okay day. Right before we did leave the park I saw there was a Lion King show. This seriously was the best part of the day. It was AMAZING!!! We all really enjoyed the show.

Okay smile! Darn sun!!!

Saw this t-shirt and thought it was too funny!

Ashlyn was melting down around this time, nothing was fun for her. :(

This tree was near a ride we were waiting for, and I thought it was BEAUTIFUL!

A little ride that we all enjoyed.

It went up and down and then also dipped forward and backward.

Teagan being silly!

Brian and the boys went and rode on Everest and so Ashlyn and I were walking around looking for fun things.

This tree is amazing, I remember watching a program on how they built it. It was very cool!!!

Zoomed in shot of the tree all the animals that make up the trunk.

At the Lion King show!!!

Some of the performance.

These guys were great, tumbling all around!

They two were dressed like birds and used a wire to have the female fly around.

Another picture of Simba!

Cute statue of Mickey, Pluto, and Goofy.

Love the detail of the little bird house!

Yummy getting some treats before we left!

Love me some Popsicle!

More Magic

Here are some more pictures of the second day we spent at the Magic Kingdom. I know that I loved every minute of it. The kids for the most part did really well. Of course melt downs can be expected. So grateful we were able to go and have so much FUN!!!

UGH that line took F.O.R.E.V.E.R!!! 70 minutes my assets! TWO hours later we finally got on the ride. (Splash Mountain)

The only time Rayle smiled on Splash Mountain. I think he would have gladly gotten off if there had been a chance. Every turn he was freaked out about another drop. Poor kid!
