Orlando-Bay Hill

Orlando... ok since I'm so stinkin' behind I'm just going to try to give at least a short rundown on each of the last 4 weeks for posterity's sake as well as for the sake of my sweet mother-in-law who convinced me to continue to update:) Thanks mom. We had a great week in Orlando. We stayed at Disney's Camp Wilderness which what could it be but the happiest campground on earth right? The park was awesome with beautiful sites as well as so much to do. We clocked several hours in at the pool where Jack and Patton owned the kiddy water slide. On Tuesday night we went to the Chip and Dale sing along (no the chipmunks...family friendly folks:) which was a little campfire show starring... you guessed it, Chip and Dale. The boys loved it and let's be honest, Danny and I were singing right along with them:) One night they showed "Cars" for their outdoor movie and so we let the boys stay up past their bedtime so we could go. I'm pretty sure we went through 3 big buckets of popcorn (Jack and Patton pounding 2 themselves) but we had a blast! The boys and I also went on a little outing with my friend Erin Walker and her little boy to Downtown Disney. We walked around for a bit and then grabbed lunch at the Rainforest Cafe (so cool). Then we had planned to let the boys play in the fountains there but the boys didn't get the memo. It was still a fun outing though even despite getting on the wrong shuttle on the way home. It's nice having other friends out here to go explore with. On Wednesday Danny and I left the kids in the Tour Childcare and got to go to the Orlando Temple. It was starting to become a joke that every temple we happened to be close to was closed for cleaning the week we were there. We finally made it though and it was so great to be there. We were starting to think the church was trying to keep us out:) The boys and I went back later that day so they could see it too. Thus the picture. Another fun event of the week was the party they had for the players and their families. They had dinner, a face painter, a balloon artist and just enough other kids to make it heaven for my boys. I don't know how they didn't knock down any of the gorgeous table displays and in the end we only had one casualty, a basket of forks. But I guess they should have known what they were getting into when inviting the families:) Always an adventure throwing kids into this crazy country club/resort lifestyle called the PGA Tour but they definitely keep it real. So a couple of the tournaments have put on these family parties and they usually have balloons and face painting as well. Every party Jack asks to be a pirate (or in this case a viking pirate) and he has really started owning his role. Luckily once Jack is a pirate other boys seem to take on the role as well so at least I'm not the only mother with a little boy running around screaming "rrrr" and trying to chop your arms off with a balloon sword... what can I say he's a leader:) Patton was every bit as lively just in different ways. Like for instance climbing all over this little scooter statue and... well going back to the forks:). Man I love these boys!! It's easy to laugh at them now as I write this while they are sleeping:) Another highlight was that they had the BYU basketball game on. The low point was that we were watching it in Orlando with a bunch of Florida fans... so sad:( That's all right, great season Cougs! We ended up staying until the end of the game so you can imagine how wired our little pirates were by the end of the night. So despite the earlier than planned departure from Orlando (missed cut) we had such a fun week and then continued on to Houston:)
