Technical Difficulties

I've been having issues with my computer running slowly. That is the reason for not posting in a long time. Jason has since (hopefully) fixed the issue so I plan on working on Orlando pictures first. Then, I'll back track and get the others.

Hollywood Studios

The main attraction for us was the stunt show. It was awesome! We were so lucky. A man leaving the park gave us 8 fast passes that he had won that got us into 2 shows/rides that we probably would not have otherwise been able to do.

Miles excited watching the cars race around

Miles really liked the explosion with fire. He had on his ear protection, so he wasn't scared.

We saw jumps, men falling off buildings, explosion, and more!

This is the only place we saw Lightning McQueen. Gavin was scared of the sounds they made.

Had a great day. Now off to watch the show Fantasmic, which happened to be FANTASTIC!

Magic Kingdom

We had a "magical time" at Magic Kingdom. It was great spending the day with Brian, Grandma Susie, Cole, and Charlie. The Toy Story ride was a favorite. Pirates of the Carribbean was NOT. Miles and Gavin shook for most of the ride because they were so scared. It was dark in there!

Thank you, Grandma Susie! She treated us all to a fun and memorable day.

Gavin was so excited to meet Mickey Mouse.

Grandma Susie also treated the boys to light toys for the electric parade and fire works, which were AWESOME!

Jason might wish this was his, but it's Charlie's light toy from Grandma Susie.

Cocoa Beach

This was the boys first trip to an ocean. Gavin was fearless, walking out to chest deep water. Jason and I had to keep a constant eye on him.

Miles mostly stuck to the sand

Kennedy Space Center

Kennedy Space Center was cool, but it wasn't a favorite of the boys. They had a lot of theater type shows for information. He didn't like that so much.

The boys posing in front of the launch site

The massive Saturn V rocket used to launch the tiny Apollo capsules. The length of a football field, and the most powerful launch vehicle. Ever.

Touching a moon rock

Gavin kept closing his eyes in pictures, so here he is trying to keep them open. LOL

An unused, real Saturn IB, which was built in case a rescue mission to Skylab was necessary. Cool!

Sea World

It was just us for the day at Sea World. We had a great time watching shows with Shamu, dolphins, and even a sea otter, walrus, and sea lion. The shows were spectacular. Although he said he liked them, Miles didn't seem quite as impressed as Jason and I, and Gavin slept through Shamu. The highlight for Miles was probably the sharks. Even though it was hot, the boys did a great job.
