The Indians Take Orlando

Last Sunday was a crazy day.  We didn't get to sleep until after midnight and the alarm went off at 3am.  The kids were good at getting up and ready and we headed to Trenton Airport.  

Dori, whose Bat Mitzvah just ended mere hours before was there too.  We left at 6.  

Only 2 hours later, we were in Florida.  I think all of us slept a little.  

We made it to the Hilton Orlando!  It was warm and there were palm trees.  Yay!  

The twins insisted on going to the biggest McDonalds in the world.  It was right up the street and it was lunchtime, so how could I refuse.  It was huge!

It also had a menu like no other McDonalds.  They had pasta and pizza and everything could be mixed and matched.  

Look at the pizza ovens.  

We went upstairs.  

Huge play area.

Arcade.  

The boys got lost in here.  

The food came!  Look at that!

They ate so much.  They loved it!  I thought the pizza and pasta were excellent.  

Eli said it was the best lunch he ever had!

We headed back and saw this crazy upside down building.  

Meanwhile, Ariel went with friends to Disney Springs.  We got a few pics.  

I took the twins to the pool.  There were cheerleaders everywhere.  

Lazy river.  

Eli checked out the lazy river.  

The hotel was very nice.  I will talk more about it later but it was full of cheerleaders, dogs, the space force and cowboys.  

Some of the moms floated by.  

I joined them in th hot tub.  

Then we went to the lobby to see the girls off for their practice.  

They took the bus across the street to the convention center.  

Here come the Indians.  

The coaches got some great shots.

Amy and I and the twins headed over to Disney Springs for dinner.  It was exciting to see the Disney signs.  

It was packed there.  I always think it's crazy to think about places in the world that are busy when I'm usually home doing nothing.  

M&M store was fun.  

Star Wars store.  

We should have tried the balloon ride.  

We saw the dinosaurs at the T Rex Cafe.  

This was the line for the Lego store! It went fast.  

I told the boys I would get them this Lego set!

We had an Italian dinner then we found some fancy donuts.  

S'mores!

Back to the hotel, the lobby was very active.  So many dogs.  There was some sort of dog show going on.  

Ariel went to dinner with friends.  Then they got milk shakes.  

That was one long full fun day.
