We have the pleasure of being in Orlando, FL with Jarrod's enitre family! We are excited about the memories we are going to be making here together!
After we got back to our condo, Jarrods family came over and we had a small church service where testimonies were born and Sacrament was partaken of. It was a wonderful meeting to all be together sharing our belief in the gospel. This family has truly been blessed, and we can feel it. After the devotional we cooked out and ate hamburgers and hotdogs, while the kids ran around outside and the adults talked.
Lastly we had a family talent show, where mostly the kids showed off their talents. Waveney, Grace & Cousin Elizabeth (5.5 yrs) made up and performed a play. Wave and Grace played the piano. Wave sang a Veggie Tales song. Austin showed off his cup stacking skills. Raegan (2 yrs. 10 mo.) sang "down by the bay", and Kaitlyn (2 yrs. 9 mo.) and Raegan danced to the music. It was a lot of fun. Then the almost 3 year olds decided it was time to be done and time for bed!
Now all is quiet and clean and we are preparing for Day 2, a trip to Universals Island of Adventure.
We arrived in Orlando around 2pm on Saturday and spent the rest of Sat. getting cleaned up and unpacking. The kids did some swimming, and I did some grocery shopping for the week. The kids were great to travel with. They slept the whole night and were okay during the "awake" hours. I used to say traveling without kids is a "vacation", traveling with kids is a "trip". Now at our kids ages, it's more of a vacation to travel with our kids! It's real nice, and we enjoy them!
Today, Sunday, we slept in. I think all of us got between 11-12 hours of sleep! It was great! Then the plan was to go to a sacrament service, then to the temple for some pictures. We didn't make it to the Sacrament service because the GPS took us the wrong way, and by the time we found it, Sacrament was over. So we took pictures at the temple. Here are a few pictures from that visit.

I should have jumped in your suitcase. Enjoy it for all of us left at home.
