Never a Dull Moment

I feel like for the last couple of weeks we've just been going and going and going! Last Sunday we travelled to Orlando to use our Disney season passes before they blacked out for the summer. We stayed near the parks and did Magic Kingdom Sunday & Tuesday and Hollywood Studios Monday. This trip, Sydney met princesses for the first time! She met Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Belle! They really do it right at Disney and make it all about the kids - and they don't just rush everyone through - they gave Sydney so much attention, asked her questions and really just made her feel like a princess herself. It was awesome! At Hollywood Studios, she met Leo (Little Einsteins)

and Handy Manny - then the rest of the day was pretty much filled with Lyndon and I taking turns on the Rock n' Roller Coaster. It is our *favorite* ride and lasts all of approx. 1 min. 30 sec. while you are rockin out to Aerosmith. I think we each rode it four times that day...occasionally mommy and daddy need a little fun too!







Wednesday was Sydney's last day of preschool for the summer - she's going to miss her friends but I think we'll be getting together with a few of them over the summer.

Other recent events included a beach trip with The Ferguson's on Friday and a boat trip with The Ferguson's yesterday. We were out on the water fairly early yesterday as it was the Poker Run. The Poker Run is a race of high speed boats that starts at Jacksonville Landing and has 7 stops around the area where each boat picks up a card. The boat with the best hand at the end of the race, wins. We caught up with the boats while they were docked for lunch and then they all passed us as we made our way back up the St. John's.

Once we got back to Doctor's Lake, we all jumped in the water to cool off and we swam for a couple of hours - it was perfect! Obviously I am becoming OK with swimming in alligator infested waters! Nothing like a long day on the boat - it makes bedtime a piece of cake!
