Finally home

We made it home last night, after a short stop in Ormond Beach to meet my newest nephew, Landon.  He was born yesterday morning weighing 7lbs 1oz and 20.25 inches long.  He looks just like his older brother Jonathon.
Our Disney trip was great except for one day of bad weather.  Instead of going to the park as planned, that day we stayed at the hotel and the boys went swimming in the indoor pool.  That night Britney and Declan came over from Melbourne for a visit, her ride was a lot longer than expected.  Sorry again Britney.  We had a good time talking and the boys had a great time playing together.  We will have to make a trip to TN sometime soon.
Braxton, 4 months, and Declan, 11 months

The first day we were in Orlando we went to Animal Kingdom.  Nathan rode on his first real roller coaster, Everest.  The look on his face was priceless, he was very scared but not enough not to do it again.  Matt took Liam and Nathan on the water rapid ride and they got soaked, Liam hated walking around in wet clothes.  I hate getting wet and walking in wet clothes, that is why I volunteered Matt to go with them.  For lunch we went to the Rainforest Cafe which the boys enjoyed.


Our second day we went to Holloywood Studios.  There Nathan went on Tower of Terror, though it wasn't his first time he had previously went on it when we went back in 2009.  The scariest part of that ride for him is the ghosts, lately he has been so obsessed with them.  Matt and I went on the Rock'in Roller Coaster but Nathan was too short for that.  I don't know what is up with that ride but both times I went on it took my breath away.  I think I was so shocked by the speed I forgot to breathe.  Liam loved seeing Woody and Buzz and we all enjoyed the new 3D Toy Story ride even though Matt blew us away with a scored of 165,000.  It must of been because I was holding Braxton the whole ride.

Our fourth day was spend at Epcot, we didn't stay long because rain was forcasted for the afternoon so we skipped all of the World Showcase and just did the rides up front.  Nathan, Matt, and I rode Test Track, Mission Space, and Soaring.  While waiting for Matt and Nathan to ride Soaring I took Liam on a boat ride and to the Lion King Show.  He got really scared on the boat ride because they had fake alligators in the water which he thought were real.  We tried to get pictures of us and the boys obviously that that didn't work out too well.
So our vacation is over and it is back to reality.  The worst part of vacations is coming home having to unpack all the bags and do a ton of laundry.
