Science Museum!

It's been such a long time since we went to the science center! The last time I see it on here was 2018 but I can't imagine it's been 6 years! Laney and Zsaz were in town for a visit so we all met up there. There were some new exhibits but it was nice to see some of the old stuff there too. We spent quite a bit of time there and then left when we got hungry and had a meal at Yours Truly.

Noah's graduation party had a big section of pictures and I loved this lineup of him and Owen celebrating throughout the years!

These six played soccer together for so long and now two will be at college next year!

July 4th

Going back in time a little bit...I almost forgot to post about the 4th! Paige was marching in the parade for cheer so Pat, Owen and I lined up along the route. We collected a lot of candy and it was fun seeing Paige in her first duty as a high school cheerleader! Afterwards we played Spikeball and hung out before the kids left to hang out with friends. I took Pat to a new park I loved but he got so annoyed with the bugs that we had to leave! Then we picked up some Arby's for him and ice cream for me. We had planned on seeing fireworks but it was raining so we opted out. That didn't stop the kids though!

 

Florida Day 6-7

When we found out the Blatnicas were going to be at the same park as us the next day we decided to meet up for our Animal Kingdom trip too! The day started out rainy but cleared up a couple hours in and we stayed dry for the rest of the day...not counting when we got wet from Kali River Rapids! I didn't take many pictures from that day or the next day, which we spent at the resort but we had such a fun trip! Paige was so sad to leave and the rest of us were sad but ready to be home!

 

Florida Day 5

We met up with the Blatnicas at Magic Kingdom on day 5 and it was such a great day. Everyone was in sync with what they wanted to do and when we ate. The kids all had a blast hanging out and it made the time waiting for rides go by so fast! I did hit a snag a couple hours before dinner when some sunscreen got in my eye and would not leave. My eyes were burning and watering for so long before I finally got some medical attention and was much more comfortable after that. We ate dinner at Crystal Palace and got to take pictures with some characters from Winnie the Pooh too! We ended the day with Dole Whips and fireworks before we had to catch the ferry out to get back to our car!

 

Florida Day 4

Day 4 was a day to relax and hang out with family! We swam, Paige won a skee ball tournament, we hung out by the pool and swam some more. We also took a break from the heat with some video games in the room. I love that Orange Lake has a concierge where you can borrow games and movies!
