Disney Day 2 - Animal Kingdom




Here are some pictures from Day 2. We went to Animal Kingdom. We started with Kilimanjaro Safaris. That was pretty neat. Since we got there as the park opened and it was raining a little we got right on. We then tackled Expedition Everest. This was Bailey's first roller coaster. She loved it so much Beth took her on it again. We then did "A bug's life" which I very surprised by. It was nice. One thing I wish I could get back was "Finding Nemo - The Musical". To me it wasn't worth the time. On the other hand, "Festival of the Lion King" was well worth the wait and time. For dinner that night we went to Boma. Boma was pretty cool. I just can't imagine spending over $30 per adult for a buffet. It was in the dining plan that we  had but we still had to fork over almost $50 in tips that night. Crazy for dinner I know but what are you going to do?

Disney Day 1






Here is a little journal of Day 1 of our Disney World vacation. 

It all started with our plane being delayed for approx. 3 hours. We finally got to check in our Hotel at midnight. We stayed at the Port Orleans Riverside resort. The resort was beautiful and huge!

After going to bed well after 2AM we got up around 9ish and hit the pool by 9:30am. It was beautiful outside. The high that day (Wednesday) was around 85 degrees.

After swimming we went back to the room and got showered up for the day. We took a watertaxi to Downtown Disney. There we ate at Captain Jacks for lunch. Being at Downtown Disney we had to do some shopping.

We then left and went back to the room for naps. With the 2 youngest kids sleeping I took Bailey to the big pool with the water slide. She loved it. 

Later that evening we went to the food court to eat and where we found Bob Jackson in the lounge (kid friendly) playing the piano and singing. He was great. It was a ton of fun.

Heck of a week

What a week. We got home from Disney on Wednesday. Disney was nice, I will post more about that later, but it ended very badly. On Monday night while we were at dinner, Bryson (2 yr old son) decide he needed to throw up at the dinner table. So I left Epcot with him and went back to the hotel. He of course threw up on me on the bus about 5 minutes from the hotel. He then decided to throw up for the next couple of hours on the half hour.

Tuesday morning was better, we went to breakfast and he ate and kept it down. We had a nice day at Sea World. The weather was perfect. We were at the 7:30 PM Dolphin show when Bryson decided to throw up on me again during the end of the show. That pretty much ended his vomiting that night. We had a lot of packing to do when we got back to the hotel since bell hop was coming at 7:50 am to pick up or checked luggage. By the time we got to bed it was around 1:15ish am.

At around 2:30ish am Bailey (the 6 year old) decides she need to throw up. After a few more vomiting instances we got her cleaned up and back to bed. Wouldn't you know it, but about 2-5 minutes after getting back to bed Bella (the 4 year old) decided she needed to throw up. Bella wasn't as nice though. She threw up all in her just washed hair and clean bed. Nothing better than giving a 4yr old a bath at 3AM. It is also pretty nice to have to call for house keeping to replace all the sheets on the bed also.

Well it is almost 4AM and 6:30 AM is coming close.

Sure thing, 6:30 AM did come way too soon.

Nothing better than flying with 3 sick kids oh and Beth (the wife) decide she needed to throw up too. That sure was nice of her. Bella threw up one more time after we got off the bus at the airport.

So we get on the plane and get in the air. Only 2 more hours until we are back in C-bus. Well about 1/2 hour before we land Bryson decides to have a #2 in his diaper. Not good. Bella then decides to throw up in the plane with about 10 minutes left in the air. Dad got soaked with vomit again. Come find out Bryson had a verrrrrrry bad blow out. Put it this way, it took us an hour to get from the gate to luggage. The was not fun at all.

Don't worry, I'm not close to being done.

Thursday and Friday were not too bad except some diarrhea. Well then comes Saturday. We were woken up around 5ish AM with Bailey throwing up. She continued this until about 4PM. Fun stuff. Don't worry, I'm not done yet. Bryson decide to continue to have diarrhea but on top of that he decided not to eat or drink anything. So we got a little concerned and decided to take him to Children's Hospital. Well from 5PM to 1AM we were in the ER with a stop to x-ray and ultrasound. Around 6ish he got an IV. Well they didn't like his progression so they admitted him. We didn't get home until 1:30 PM on Monday.

I'm not even going to get in the fact that I got sick while with my sick son at the Hospital.

Well it is going late and I need to tackle the raccoons in my attic early tomorrow. Talk to you later.

Good News

Good News...
Two simple words. Generally we don't here it enough. We really don't focus on it at all. All of our focus goes towards bad news. I'm getting a little burned out on bad news. I want to hear some good news. If you have any good news and you are willing to share, please share with us.

I have good news, we got a Wii yesterday. It is way too sweet!
