Day two in Florida - three since leaving home

Funny how fast time can pass when you aren't doing much of anything but being happy and enjoying time with your family. Doug was up with the sun this morning (or just before actually) and had had several cups of coffee and a shower before I managed to crawl out of bed. (Have I mentioned that I have a crappy head cold??) The boys and I were up around 9:00 and learned, from Doug-the-Explorer, where to find the "Owner's BBQ" and the "Games Room."



By the time we were all showered and functional it was 11:15 and was time for us to head to Pool 13 for the BBQ lunch and a little swimming. The boys were given stickers with Mickey on them and we just hung out. By one o'clock we were finished and Fergus couldn't wait to ride the train around our little resort.



We managed to find one of the Whole Foods stores in the area and grabbed food for dinner. We are lucky enough to have a full kitchen with full sized appliances so I could make dinner for us and we could spend time around the table recapping the day and then have a quiet evening. That was the plan. Things changed though. While I was making dinner my husband and boys were in the pool in our back yard. Actually, they were in the hot tub. Doug stuck up a conversation (or was pulled in kicking and screaming - this is my chatty husband we are talking about) with a couple who currently reside in the Boston area. They used to live in Stewarttown (Stewart's Mills in actual fact). They commuted from G'town to North York daily. Isn't that wild??



Anyway, this couple told Doug, within hearing distance of the boys, about the Legoland store in Downtown Disney. Now Teresa had already told me about this but Doug and I had not said anything to the boys. We were taking a "wait and see" approach. We waited and what we saw were two boys barely able to eat their dinner before bounding out the door and into the car. Legoland was AWESOME!! They are in their room right now and are putting together cars that they picked out parts for tonight.



Tomorrow the plan is to head to the beach. The boys have never been to or in the ocean before. This will be amazing. I guess I should go and check the weather forecast, huh?
