Orlando 2009


Marty and I took the kids on an awesome 10 day vacation earlier this month. We went to Orlando, FL and enjoyed all of the Disney theme parks. We went to Magic Kingd0m, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. We went on some wild roller~coasters, saw some amazing animals, took in several great shows and had a super fun time.

Paxton and Marty after we all went on the Everest Rollercoaster. It was wickedly crazy. I spent the entire ride soothing Avery, which actually helped me from freaking out myself!!!

We went to Rafiki's Island where they have one of the largest animal hospitals in the world. We actually got to observe the doctors perform a surgery on a small gazelle. She made it through her surgery without any complications.

We enjoyed our front row seats to "Off Kilter" a Celtic band that we all enjoyed.







Enjoying a couple of sweet treats at the bakery in Holland at Epcot.


A very, very wet ride that soaked all of us.

Avery and Marty went on this dreadful looking ride "Hollywood Tower" where they went up on an elevator and dropped several stories!!!
