Florida With K.A.M.

 Another relaxing day at the condo! The kids woke up at ate cereal together again. The McDougalls went to Cocoa Beach for the day so it was just the Alts and Kedleys at the condo.  Laura called and said that a rocket was going to be launched from Cocoa Beach- that would have been neat to see! Teddy woke up a little slower this morning and wasn't quite acting himself.  We decided to head to Old Town for lunch.  As we were heading out I started thinking Teddy was really sick.  We put him in the stroller and went to a restaurant, but they were buffet only so we didn't stay.  As we were heading to the next restaurant Teddy felt hot and his eyes were watering. I decided to call it and took Teddy back to the condo while Rocky and Thom stayed with the Alts at Flipper's Pizzeria. On Teddy and my way back to the condo I stopped at Walgreens to get some motrin and a thermometer. When we got back to the condo all Teddy wanted to do was rest in his bed. We had packed a covid test just

 SeaWorld Day!! We got to SeaWorld early and had to wait to get in to park. Some people wanted to do some coasters, while others did not, so when we got in we headed toward Mako and Liz and Laura took the littles to look at some sharks. Jason ran back to the condo to get Thea’s tennis shoes. We got right on Mako and were able to ride it twice in a row. Unfortunately, AJ lost his sunglasses on the ride. Lauren, Thea and Riley LOVED the rollercoaster! After Mako we headed toward Manta but when we arrived it was a 70 minutes wait so we decided to all go to do the dolphin show instead.  The dolphin show was great! They did so many jumps and flips. The show was enjoyed by all.  Next Teddy, Riley, AJ, Thom and I rode the Lost City of Atlantis water ride- it was really cool! Both in the water and kind of like a rollercoaster! By this point everyone was getting hungry so we met the other half of the group at Voyager’s Smokehouse where we ate some lunch and I got beignets. Next we headed over t

 Condo day! The kids have started the tradition of sitting at the island and having cereal each morning. It is fun to see them all sitting together and chatting. Rocky wanted to go to the splash pad so Peyton, Rocky and I headed over to the splash pad. Within 2 minutes Rocky had to go potty so back to the condo we went. After potty we headed back to the splash pad where now some workers were doing a water sample. We were there 1 minute and the workers turned off the splash pad. So we headed back to the condo, got floaties, I put on my swimming suit, and we were off to the pool. Teddy and Thea joined us. We played for awhile while others went to the work out facility. They joined us around lunch time and we swam for quite awhile. We ate lunch pool side, the Alts ordered pizza and the McDougalls went to McDonalds. It was then nap time for the boys. In the evening the Alts went to Disney’s Boardwalk for dinner. We made grilled cheese and then hit the pool again. We had a great time at poo

 What an awesome day!! Today we enjoyed Magic Kingdom to the fullest. We stayed up late to purchase Genie+ and got up early to select our first lightning late and we bought the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Individual Lightning Lane for $10 each.  Our goal was to leave at 7:45 to head to the park and we caravanned our way over. We got through parking with ease and got our spot. we decided to take the ferry over from the transportation center to Magic Kingdom. There were a decent number of people and we had to wait in a short line to get through. Once we were through the plan was to head to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, but we got separated from the McDougalls and Alts and when we arrived to the area we noticed Splash Mountain had a low wait so we switched to that line. When we got off the ride we met up with them at Prince Charming’s Caroussel.  Laura and family hadn’t been on the Little Mermaid ride so we headed that way next! It was fun to do rides as a group, but we also split up and cer

 What a wonderful, relaxing day! Today we started the morning slowly and hung out at the condo. Everyone joined for some breakfast before heading to the arcade. Everyone enjoyed some games before heading back to the condo for some lunch, while I went to the lobby to try to get the other condo downstairs next to our condo.  After a lunch of easy Mac, sandwiches, grapes and chips we decided to go on a little tour of some Disney resorts. We drove to the Polynesian Resort and looked around then took the monorail to the Grand Floridian. While at the Grand Floridian there were some photo pass people taking pictures with Cinderella’s glass slipper, so we got our picture with it too! We caught the monorail back to the Polynesian where we enjoyed a dole whip! It started to sprinkle and we headed back toward the condo. After a little calm down time for the boys we all headed for the pool. The boys are really improving their swimming skills! Rocky and Teddy will both go underwater now and love ju

 Teddy and Rocky woke up first this morning and woke me up. We got dressed and went to the lobby to check out and back in to our condo.  Then they wanted to go to the playground. We made a little trip to the playground before heading back to meet Thom. We had run a few errands so we loaded up in the convertible and away we went. Our first stop was Dick’s Sporting Goods to remove the security tag from Rocky’s shoes. Then we enjoyed lunch at Johnny Rockets. The boys liked the plate with the smiley face. I thought the burger was pretty good.  After a quick stop at Publix and Dollar Tree we headed back to the condo.  It took some convincing, but the boys went down for a nap before the rest of the crew arrived. I got an elliptical work out in before they arrived. The Alt family arrived about 3:15. We hung out for awhile and once the boys were awake we headed to the pool. The McDougall family arrived about 5:30 and joined us in the pool. We had dinner at Tony’s poolside as the lightning bega

 Our travel day began with swimming lessons, Renegade Running Club, cleaning and some last minute packing. We were waiting for the dog food and new shoes to arrive, but FedEx was moving rather slow. I called Solutions to see if they had the number of the FedEx driver and they tried to reach out. As we were just past New Virginia they called and said they had our packages. We turned around quickly to go get them. Unfortunately, when I opened the box we found that the magnetic security tag was still left on one of Rocky’s new shoes!  Nita and Jess generously dropped Mom off at the airport where we could meet her with the car seat and she could take our van with the dogs. Check in went smoothly and they allowed our 41 pound bag through (40 pounds was the limit).The TSA agent was so kind and gave the boys a junior officer badge sticker. Once we were through security we grabbed some sandwiches and went to the gate.  Our flight was only 10 minutes late taking off! Unfortunately, when I booke
