The Magic Kingdom



Maybe it's just me but no trip to Florida would be complete without at least one visit to the Magic Kingdom!! The castle was even more beautiful this time then the last! We went to the, "Very Merry Christmas Party" and they lit up the whole castle with lights..... pretty impressive!


Emily got to see her favorite princess!

Cody isn't into princesses quit yet..... but he tought this replica of the liberty bell was pretty cool!

We rode all the rides!!



I almost threw up in my mouth after riding the tea cups....but my kids seemed to like it okay.

Discovery Cove

Probably one of the best days in orlando was spent at Discovery Cove! We snorkeled in the man made lagoon that was heavely stocked with all sorts of fish and some really huge rays! They even had sharks and barracudas...behind plexiglass.....of course! We also spent a lot of time in the "lazy river". Emily loves the lazy river. I can't say I blame her! The water was warm and you can just lay there and ride slow current. It was great.


This was the dolpin we got to swim with. Her name is Cindy..... She is a movie star! You might recognize her from the movie, "Jaws 3". They even called her by name throughout the movie!


Pretty cool!


Emily was not as impressed with the whole dolphin experience as the rest of us..... I think she was a little scared!



Cody kissed a dolphin......and I think he liked it!




This is the ray lagoon. These rays were smaller then the ones in the lagoon but they were easier to touch.
