Hello Orlando

Sunday morning we headed north on Florida's turnpike to Orlando.  We definitely saw some gators on the way!  It is crazy how they are just hanging out in the ditches along the side of the road.  You could definitely tell we were tourists as we shouted 'GATOR' every time we would see one.  We got to the resort in time to hit the pool for a few hours. 


Welcome to Wyndham Bonnet Creek.  It was our first time visiting this resort - and it will definitely not be our last.  What an awesome place!!


They have two lazy rivers.


Several pools that are perfect for kids.  All are zero entry, and have ledges that are perfect for jumping off of. 


Henry jumped off the ledge until the adults couldn't keep up.


He would take turns and jump to Andy, Deb, then Heidi.


Hannah was perfectly happy sitting pool side with her goldfish snack.  I can already tell we are going to be partners in crime on future vacations sitting on the lounging chairs catching the rays while Andy and Henry swim in the pool.


They have an awesome playground. 


Of course Hannah has to do everything Henry does. 


Big girl going down all the slides all by herself!


Life size chess pieces. 


The resort has a daily activities calendar that is jam packed.  We took advantage of the face painting. 


Is that Batman - or is that Henry??!!


Sunday night we ventured out to Downtown Disney.  We figured there had to be some kid friendly dining options there.  Andy saw an add for a dinosaur restaurant called T Rex Cafe.  Boy was it awesome!!  Dinosaurs everywhere.  Henry and Hannah just loved it, and honestly so did the adults!  The food was great too. 


We got seated in the meteor room where 2 or 3 times an hour there would be a meteor shower.  Pretty awesome. 

We made it back in time for baths and bed.  We needed a good night sleep with destination Magic Kingdom scheduled for Monday!
