New Years in Orlando

After leaving Dothan on the 28th, we headed down to Orlando for New Years. So much fun. Really weird experiencing 70-80 temps in December. The boys loved being able to swim...still a little to cold for me.

The 29th, we headed over to GatorLand. The boys of course loved it. The gators ranged from huge to small and there were a ton of them. Nicholas even got up close and personal with one of them...see pic below.

The 30th Jason worked so the boys and I spent the day at Downtown Disney and swam. Nice relaxing day for all of us.

The 31st we braved the crowds and headed over to Disney World. Note...if you must go on one of the busiest days, go early. We got there at opening and were able to ride almost everything we wanted to before 1 when the crowds started to get crazy! They actually closed the park around 3:30pm and wouldn't let anyone else in. It was still a lot of fun.

We got to meet Buzz!

My sister and her family came down as well. The last time we were both here at the same time was when I was 8!

We got to see the x-mas decorations and shows. Both were great!

As you can see the boys had a great time! Nicholas was tall enough to ride space mountain this time. Jason and I rode it with him and his cousin Jake. After it was over Nicholas stated that he never wanted to do that again! Hopefully he will change his mind in the future. Nolan also got to ride his first big boy roller coaster, Big Thunder Railroad. He loved it! He rode it twice.

We were supposed to go here on the 1st to see the whomping that Bama gave Michigan State

but Jason got strep throat and was really not in any shape to go, so we listened to it on the radio and headed back to Atlanta.

All in all, a great trip!
