Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving morning involved unpacking from our trip but we had the house clean and Turkey ready in time for an early dinner with Mimi and Uncle Reid. Rolls, turkey and green beans were the favorite food for the kids. And Thanksgiving MadLibs were a hit!

Orlando - Sea World

For our last full day in Orlando we decided to brave the theme park crowds and head to Sea World. None of our kids have ever been before so they were all excited about it! The biggest hits were the roller coasters (they have some great thrill rides) and the Orca Show. Avery even saw a few characters which are always a hit for her! The park was decorated for Christmas which was fun to see.

Just before Thanksgiving we took a long weekend to Orlando with our friends the Langeman's. We rented a house in a large resort community and spent a day on the property, a day shopping at the Outlets/Disney Springs and a day at Sea World. It was a nice break with beautiful weather!

While the dads golfed, the moms took the kids to the resort waterpark and then the dads took them to play footgolf. Where the kids getting to drive the golf carts was the highlight of the day!

The next day, the kids really wanted to go shopping so we made a day in Orlando starting at the outlet mall followed by Lunch at the world's largest McDonalds, a round of minigolf and then a long afternoon/evening at Disney Springs.
