just wanted a quick post at the fun we're having ~ we flew here on friday & the girls loved the flight (karleigh was amazed at how little the houses looked) ~ since arriving here, we've ate at some very good restaurants, took the kids to a small 'fair' right down the street from our resort & had a blast! ~ there at the fair was an old car show, lots of rides & tons of stores for shopping ~ we were there for several hours, but didn't get into any shops as we were so busy, so we're going back another day ~ we went to 'arabian nights' this evening & had a good time (although we all like dixie stampede TONS TONS better) ~ we also went to see the shuttle go up (WAAAAY cool) ~ the girls thought that was very fun & spike was in heaven ~ he was the 'true tourist' too, all the cameras we own were hung around his neck & he was snapping shots like crazy while i watched/kept all the kids (good thing too, cause he was 'in charge' of karleigh & when i looked around, there she sat sitting in her stroller alone while her daddy had walked off to 'get the perfect shot') ~ being there & watching him was like a kid in a candy store ~ tomorrow we're heading to daytona for the day & then to the beach in the afternoon ~ we're taking sandwiches with us to eat on the beach & everyone's excited for tomorrow to arrive ~ we're planning a day at universal on tuesday & then disney/magic kingdom on friday ~ we're all having a great time ~ here's a picture (just for you dad) of us arriving at the airport with all our luggage ~ now my dad's been teasing us about ALL we're taking, but considering there's 6 of us for a 10 day trip, we thought we were doing good ~ we took 9 checked bags, 5 carryons & 2 strollers (one of which's a double stroller), was that too much?? (mom, make sure dad sees the picture, k??)
a funny 'karleigh' story since we left home was this ~ we've told the girls for months that in june we were going to florida ~ they've been asking for months if it's june yet & no's been the reply ~ well, when we woke them up on friday to get ready to leave we said, "hey girls, today's june!" (even thought it had been june for a week, they didn't know it) ~ well, we were on the plane & we landed here in florida & karleigh didn't want to get off ~ i said, "c'mon karleigh, move, we've got to get off, we're here!" ~ she said, "i don't want to, you said we could go to florida" ~ we went round & round how we were here & that it was june, but she kept referring to wanting to stay on the plane as she was going TO FLORIDA!! ~ after this went on for a bit & she was getting more & more upset, i said, "alright then, if we're not in florida, then where are we??" ~ she started crying & said, "you said in june we were going to florida & you told us today that it was florida & we're supposed to be in florida now, but they're saying we're in ORLANDO!!" ~ gosh, gotta love that girl!! ~ well, i'm heading to bed & will blog more tomorrow ~ nite all!!
