Ok, moving right along to Monday of our vacation. As many of you know, the primary reason we booked this trip was to see our niece Leah march down Mainstreet USA. We opted to fly to FL, as did my sister. But, Leah had to ride the bus to FL. We got there on Tues, my sister got there on Fri and Leah didn't get there until late Sun evening. So, Mon was the first time we were able to see her. The band had an itinerary, so we tried to follow that as much as we could while Leah was there. It was only for 2 days, but that is the best we could do.
We were able to meet up with Leah on Mon at Blizzard Beach. It was so much fun. Our family really enjoys the water parks and swimming. But, I don't think it was the best planning to spend one day at the beach and the following day at a water park. By the end of this day, both Doug and I were sunb
urnt. Doug on his back and tops of the feet and me on my back, chest and tops of feet. And, yes, we had reapplied sunscreen like crazy. The kids were fine though. They had pink shoulders, but nothing that was painful. The painful part of the entire day was walking around on the HOT HOT concrete. They didn't have enough little sprinklers to keep all the sidewalks wet. As we were taking the stairs up to some of the slides, (of course the highest ones were the most fun!) there was no shade and I thought the bottom of my feet were going to fry off. I am not exaggerating here either. Thank goodness Doug and Leah are more athetic than m
e. Doug scooped up Gabe, Leah scooped up Anna and they took the stairs 2 by 2 because the kids were both crying. John and I just ran up the stairs and I thought I was going to pass out. (I have been working out, but not on steps. lol) Anyway, the slide was worth it and it was good to get some extra excercise. The kids wanted to do it again, but I said no way was I doing that again. So, we stood in line to ride the "ski lift" to the top. That was actually pretty neat. Ok, now that you have heard my ranting about the hot concrete...

It was OK, but Gabe was just
about too tall. (He had 
hit 48" which was awesome for some of the bigger roller coasters, but also the cut off for the baby area.) And, it wasn't as fast as my daring daughter wanted. So, we headed over to the preteen area. They had a few slides, a nice pool and some floating ice to walk across. The kids thought that was the best. They both did it a few times. But, then it was on to bigger and better things. Unfortunately I don't have many pictures to share with you because, duh, I didn't want to ruin my camera. But, just know that we had a blast!!
