 This morning the boys slept in until about 8:00. Rocky and I played pirates and had to fight off alligators and find buried treasures. Next we headed to mini golf to do the "obstacle course". There Teddy's imagination ran wild while we battled Pokemon and Avatars. I love watching their brains and imaginations!

After a couple car races in the arcade we went back out to do some real mini golf. Teddy did a good job and Rocky carried his ball to the hole. 

Lunch consisted of left overs and then it was pool time!!

We did some serious pool hopping today. We started at pool 2, went to pool 3 and then finished in pool 1. The sun was shining and we have some burnt shoulders. Rocky liked the hot tub a lot and Teddy is like a fish in the water. I enjoy sitting poolside with a pina colada!

We decided to go for an earlier dinner at Miller's Ale House. It was very good! I had the coconut shrimp with broccoli and it was delicious. Mom, Dad and Drew all raved about their burgers too! I imagine we will go back there or order out from there sometime again!

Back at the condo the night was filled with packing and organizing because Mom and Dad will probably leave rather early in the middle of the night. 

Mom and I enjoyed one last walk in beautiful weather before we have to leave tomorrow. We talked about the trip and what we would like to do next year. 

It is always sad when we have to leave Florida. Everyone loves it here; who would have thought that Dad's little investment when he turned 50 and we went on a scavenger hunt would lead to this!

 After our incredibly busy day (over 30,000 steps!) yesterday we decided to make today a rest day. The boys got up around 7:30 and came into the condo with Mom, but Thom and I didn't wake up until 10:30! Clearly we were exhausted!  When we woke up we decided to head to Publix to get a few items. Dad was napping so the rest of us loaded up. On the way to Publix we decided to head to Marshall's for a few items. It was a successful trip! Rocky got a toy, Teddy got steering wheel controllers for the switch, I got a few sweaters, Thom got some sweatpants and Mom got some shoes!  After a quick trip to Publix we got lunch at Five Guys.  When we returned to the condo I took a walk with Rocky so he could use his whale bubble gun. When the boys went down for a nap Mom and I decided to take a walk and go to Aldi's and Dollar Tree. When we returned Thom went to work out and Mom and I played Yahtzee.  The boys took a nice long nap. Mom and Dad went to the hot tub and when they returned

 Merry Christmas Eve! Drew made it safely last night after days of travel. We began this morning with some breakfast and Mom, Dad and Drew opened their Christmas gift which was a medieval dinner for tonight. After enjoying some time in the arcade the boys went down for some naps, Thom & Drew worked out and we headed to Medieval Times.  We arrived shortly before the doors opened. When we went in we received our crowns for the red and yellow knight, got our photo taken and stopped for some drinks. Dad got a knight's drink and the boys got slushies. I decided to try a "bee sting" which is the pineapple cider with mead.  It was very good. Once we got our drinks we headed to the knighting desk for the boys to be knighted. Teddy went first and was knighted by the queen. They took a picture and he wore a special cloak. Next was Rocky's turn.  The boys took picture with the queen and trumpeter and we made our way to the main entrance for the announcement to go to our tabl

 Merry Christmas from a cold Florida! This morning was calm and the kids enjoyed breakfast before opening gifts. Thom and I planned a mimosa flight bar as a special Christmas treat. Mom made some delicious banana muffins. We opened gifts once everyone was awake and settled. Santa brought the boys headphones and they were excited to open their gifts! After gifts we decided to head to the Polynesian Resort and ride the monorail. We enjoyed seeing the resorts and what they offer. We stopped at the Grand Floridian because I wanted to see the ginger bread house that they create. It was huge. The stats on how much ingredients they use were incredible! 1,050 pounds of honey! This afternoon was calm and included naps (for me too!). We all wanted to get a good rest before going to Disney tomorrow! Tonight Mom and I made Christmas dinner- ham, green bean casserole, corn casserole and cheesy potatoes! It was a later dinner because the corn casserole took a bit longer- but the food was delicious!
