Miscellaneous Photos from our Florida trip!

My happy niece, Sophia!

Another break time!

We were thankful for this plug in charger.

We saw these weird ducks around our condo. They looked like ducks and turkeys.



We are still missing this incredible bathtub!

The view from our balcony from our condo.

Photos from the coolest rest stop ever in Iowa!




Sleepover Time! Sophia slept over and read Elyana a bedtime story.

Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom was the last park that we went to. Brian and Sophia did not join us at this park. It was neat.  Our girls really enjoyed the petting zoo and just watching some of the animals.

The girls and I went to this neat 3D show about bugs.  They had a mist spray you from the seat in front of you when a bug sneezed.  They had a stink bug spray you and there was fog inside. At one point the seat under you moved as if there were bugs crawling.

Look how scared we were on the Dinosaur ride!

They had this huge carved tree in the middle of the park.


The girls look sweaty here, but we actually got completely soaked on a white water rapid ride.




There were tons of exotic looking birds everywhere.

We got to watch workers train a hippo.  It was neat seeing it swim.

We loved watching this gorilla family rest.


Petting zoo fun!






We went on a super cool safari ride.








Hollywood Studios!

Our third day was spent at Hollywood Studios.We wished we would have also seen the Indiana Jones show. It is impossible to fit everything in a day in, especially with the summer heat.
We loved these fans that spray a mist of water. They helped a lot cooling us off in the 90 degree heat of Florida!

Waiting in line for Mission Space. Very cool ride. The extreme version of this ride was a bit too much for me.

Tower of Terror. Nate, Brian and our girls loved this ride.  Brian lost everything in his pocket and didn't know about it until he saw his photo afterward.

We saw the Beauty and the Beast show. It was very well done!




We are waiting for the Fantasmic Show to begin.

The Fantasmic Show was performed on this neat island. It had stunts, fire, and a water show. Images were shown in a fan of water.



Once it was dark enough, the show began with Mickey appearing in smoke.

Various boats came past the island through the show with this great Ferry boat at the end.  All of the Disney characters were on the ferry at the end.
