Hello all!  Well again, sorry about the no video yesterday it was a big day.  Would you like to hear about it?

Leatha, Cameron and Amelia went horseback riding here at Give Kids the World village in the morning.  They really liked riding around the corral before breakfast!  Well, before real breakfast.

               

They had Ice Cream for Breakfast, a thing that is just one of the perks for Give Kids the World.  They also got to ride the train here at the village while Mom, Dad and Tristan were in Orientation.

After that, we got some breakfast and went to play miniature golf at the course here at the village.  It is dinosaur themed and each dinosaur does something when you get the ball in the hole.  It was really fun to play.

          

Then Amelia got to send off her star for the Star Fairy that represents her wish here at Give Kids the World.  There are thousands of stars up and around the castle, so many that they have built a tower to house them all for years to come.  After the star, she got to make her special pillows that they give to each child here.  All four of the kids got one and they all think that it is pretty neat.

                    

After that, we headed out to the Magic Kingdom itself for a day of fun.  Mother Nature had other ideas.  We rode the ferry from the parking area to the kingdom itself and the skies opened up and soaked all of us fairly quickly.

     <—-the calm before the storm..again.     

It wouldn’t have been bad except that it let up for a bit and then dumped huge torrents of water on us.  The kids got cold and we finally bagged the whole thing and headed back to Give Kids the World wher we dried off and got some dinner.

After dinner the rain had let up pretty good so we donned our ponchos and headed back to Disney World.  We finally got to ride some rides and Amelia got to see the fireworks show while riding Dumbo.  She thought that was pretty neat.  We stayed until the park closed riding Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion.

          

Finally we dragged ourselves home and made it just after 2 AM.  After getting he kids to sleep and trying to dry out some of our stuff it was late when we got to bed.

Can I just say that the weather said a 40% chance of rain?  They forgot to mention the 100% chance of a monsoon.  Anyway, enjoy the video for today, and there will be at least a post with pictures for Thursday the 7th up soon, the video for that may be a bit later.

Enjoy.

Hello all.  Just a quick post to say that in two weeks, at the time this is being written, 1145 MDT, we should be somewhere over Illinois on our way to the Cincinnati airport and then onto Orlando and Give Kids the World!  And Disney World of course.

We are getting really excited and trying to pace ourselves.

Amelia turned 6 last Friday and she wants to bring all of her presents with us!  We don’t have room.  She does get to take the new princess dresses that Mom made her and we are sure that she will wear nothing else in Florida.

The time will be here before we know it!  Thanks again for all of your support.  Remember that there will be videos every day, as well as pictures and updates.  All from Florida to your computer, every day.  Isn’t the internet great?

Don’t forget to sign up for the email list over there on the right and you will wake up with a fresh new post with aforementioned video and pictures in your inbox.

Talk Later.
