FLORIDA – PART 2

The day after we arrived in Orlando, we woke up early and went to IHOP (there wasn’t one ever around here at the time and so it was a big treat).

Then it was off to find something to do.  We weren’t sure what, but we had decided we didn’t want to do the parks or the beach the day after all that driving.  We found a little area outside of Universal Studios that had a few rides.  One was a HUGE swing ride that was so high I would have NEVER gotten on it.  But Brittani and Cody wanted to so off they went.

 

 

 

After that we stumbled upon some alligators and the girls LOVED them.  They seriously wouldn’t let us leave! 

 

 

 

After we DRUG them away from the alligators, we headed home for a quick dip and a little sun tanning at the community pool. 

 

We then got ready and drove (5 MINUTES) to Downtown Disney.  LOVED DOWNTOWN DISNEY.  It was free to get in and there were tons of little shops and restaurants.  We ate dinner at the T-Rex place (exactly like the Rainforest Cafe’ but with dinosaurs).  The kids ALL LOVED IT!  It was kinda pricey, but well worth it if you have little ones that LOVE dinosaurs like we do!  I must have forgotten the camera because I have NO pictures of this :(   .  But I did get a picture of this cool writing in the sky.  We watched him sky write the entire thing as we drove.  So cool!
