Islands of Adventure

Wednesday, Nov 23, 2005. We spent the day at Universal's I of A. What a great time! The lines were not as ruthless as yesterday at Disney and we got to do all that we wanted. Tommy has topped the 54" mark so he rode The Hulk and Dueling Dragons 3 times each! Donovan is now 40" and went on Spiderman but got a little freaked out. The big kids (T, H, T, & A) went on the Jurassic Park water ride, but kept dry with ponchos. I don't know why, though, because the kids got soaked thanks to the talking (and squirting) fountain, and the parents found a watering hole of their own! At least we made friends with Spiderman, Merlin, and The Cat In The Hat. Hope to see you all soon!!

Florida

We started our Florida vacation at our WONDERFUL friends the Mancusos! They always show us a great time. They had a get together at their house with a few of our friends. Thanks guys for your hospitality!

A Day at Disney

We went to The Magic Kingdom today. The boys had a blast even with all the crowds. Donovan loved meeting Woody and Jessie. Ethan had a blast just watching everything and everyone. Tommy and Austin had a great time on Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain (with child swap they got to ride everything twice-thanks Ethan). We all had fun exploring Tom Sawyer's island especially the Fort with the hidden tunnel. Yesterday we spent the day at Epcot but due to the weather we opted to leave the camera behind. Highlight of the day was Donovan being tall enough to ride Test Track and boy did he like it!

FIELD TRIP The family (yes, all six of us) went to the corn maze on a field trip with our homeschool friends. We played in a corn box, not a sand box, went on a hay ride, picked out pumpkins from the pumpkin patch, pet Jack the donkey, played on the hay stack and of coarse did the maze without getting lost.

The boys are learning about the heart, so in tune with Halloween we decided to make our own blood. What fun they had!

Trick or Treating? Either way a good time was had by all!
