Orlando

We took a trip to Orlando last week for five days. Neal had to work the whole time so the kids and I hung out at the resort. We were right beside Sea World and just a few minutes ride from Disney World, but I have no desire to go there with small children. That will have to wait until they're older. The resort had an awesome 17,000 sq. ft. pool with two water slides and a kiddie pool play area. Not to mention an indoor/outdoor pool with a movie screen and water volleyball court. We had a good time, well as much fun as you can have with four kids at an enormous pool and one adult. But it was much better than sitting at home. The only problem was there were bad thunderstorms everyday that came out of no where and one day we got caught in one. As you know, Charles Allen is very afraid of "tormados" so he freaks out and I had a really tough time getting packed up, making sure Ally didn't get back in the pool, and trying to calm Charles Allen down. By the time we got back to the room three of my four children were crying because the thunder and lightning were so bad. Did I say it was better than sitting at home? Maybe not so much:)
