Monday

Monday morning Brendan, Christina, and Caitlin flew out.
It was so nice being all together as a family...but as always, the time seems to fly by.
I really miss having my siblings nearby.



We decided to go to Typhoon Lagoon, since Riley had missed the water park the day before.

Most of my pictures are still sitting on a waterproof camera...these were from the Disney Photo Pass...hence the grainy photo.

 Gang Plank Falls...

The Crush 'n' Gusher water slide...



Typhoon Lagoon was a blast...we liked it much better than Blizzard Beach.  
The wave pool was awesome.
It knocked my dad and Camdyn both on their butts.
Twice.

We snorkeled with sharks at shark reef, which I had done the last time we were at Typhoon Lagoon back in 1994.
It was as neat as I remember...but MUCH colder than I remember.


We did Humunga Kowabunga, a near-vertical, 5-story waterslide, in the dark.
Camdyn did it, but was crying by the end.
That was the end of the rides for her.


Mid afternoon, it started storming.
Really the first rain we had the entire trip.
It rained, it lightening, it thundered, so we took shelter in a cave in Ketchakiddee Creek.

After the water park, we headed back to our hotel to swim and just relax.

Mickey Mouse was in the lobby of our resort, so we took a few pictures with him...



The grounds of our resort were so peaceful...

Live oaks.

Plenty of ducks looking for handouts.




A pond stocked with some of the biggest Koi that I have ever seen, the pictures don't do them justice.


Daddy and his girls, waiting to eat at our favorite restaurant, The Garden Gallery.


We swam the rest of the night.
Relaxing, but quiet without the rest of our family.
We really missed them.
