Waking up after a long previous day of travelling was nice since we just slept in. With no alarm to wake us up, it was nice not to be in a rush on our first day. With 14 days to relax, we knew we would spend the first day doing things that didn't require us to hurry up and go. Here, the kids swim at the time share and cool off under the wet umbrella.




Actually, if the kids had their way, they would just be happy to swim for 14 days.


Disney Quest is an interactive adventure. Inside are miniature rides which take participation on your part to make things happen. We were not too impressed with this adventure, probably because of the price.


Our breakfast and dinner table inside our time share. Susan always made sure we had a great breakfast and dinner without fail.


Florida is under a severe drought. The lake is approximately 15 feet lower than it was three years ago.

Preston was using his new spy microphone to hunt down the ducks and feed them.

Hum... The kids caught us.

We new Preston would love this adventure-- an airboat ride through the everglades.

By the expression on his face, you can tell he was excited. He has recently been watching Animal Planet on television and this was exactly what he like watching on the show.

Although hard to see, this five foot alligator, exposing his head, was protecting her nest.

Our ride was cut short as we had a small hurricane coming our way. The pilot of the airboat quickly got us off the lake, but gave us time to take a picture. We spent the next hour trying to outrun the weather and find our way back to the timeshare.

Susan and the kids had their mind set to take out one of these bikes. No matter how much Greg tried to explain that it wasn't as much fun as it seemed to be, the kids proved him wrong since they had a blast.

If you look real hard, you can see Brooklyn posing in front of Raggity Anne in front of F. A. O. Schwartz. This doll on the outside of the store was Brooklyn's height of the trip and she brought her own Raggity Anne doll to enjoy the experienced with her.
