Both of our families planned trips to Florida this year so once again we headed to the airport. Traveling with two is so much harder! different than with one. Luke and I were pretty exhausted by the time we got on the plane, fortunately so were the boys and everybody got a nap. When we landed in Orlando Jax got a free pair of Mickey ears from a stranger and we were good to go.
The weather was so hot and humid and I look awesome in all the pictures but we had lots of fun. It was a different experience with kids, but Grandma and Grandpa took Jax for most of the day and let Luke and I play. The first day we spent about half the day in Universal.
I didn't even notice Stan Shunpike posing for our picture!
Diagon Alley was amazing! Before when Luke and I went to Universal they only had Hogsmede and I thought this is cool...but where's the rest of it? Diagon Alley was what I was expecting. And can I just say how much I love Luke?! He could probably care less about Harry Potter but he knows I love it and is a great sport about it all :)
Fish and chips, bangers and mash, and butterbeer in the Leaky Cauldron. I don't even like seafood but it was delicious. I must have been starving :) Lindsey didn't like any of the British fare so she had mac and cheese. There go her dreams of living in England.
Luke and Brett got to be movie extras for one of the rides. They were told they would be evil villians but they really just got "rocks" dropped on their heads.
Diagon Alley was new to us and I thought it was pretty great. We got to ride the Hogwarts Express.
Safari ride at the Animal Kingdom. Jax loved all the animals. There were two baby gorillas that were 7 and 8 months old. They were so cute! We tried to take Jax away a couple of times and he got so mad until one of the moms rushed the other right in front of where he was standing. It scared him pretty good. Then he was ready to move on.
Jax was loving all the aunt and uncle time.
When we went to the Magic Kingdom right as we walked in I saw the wait to meet Tinkerbell was only ten minutes so we jumped in line and I was so glad we did. It was the cutest thing ever. Jax loves the Tinkerbell movies and was so excited to see her. He was totally in love.
Our last night we watched the Main Street Electrical parade. Both Jax and Ryker were pretty enthralled.
Our trip home was another adventure. I had the great idea to put Jax in the bath while we got all packed. As I was gathering up my bathroom stuff I commented to Luke that something smelled like poop. A couple minutes later he went to wash Jax and get him out of the tub and there was poop floating everywhere! Ew and gross. It took a while to clean up so we were cutting it close getting to the airport when we saw that our flight was delayed for a couple of hours. Luke had to work the next day so this was not awesome news. As we were driving home again I said somebody pooped. When we stopped at a gas station we put Jax on Luke's lap to change him. Bad idea! The poop ran up his back and on to Luke. It was a little funny how grossed out Luke was, not gonna lie ;) We made it home and had a week full of adventures.
