After our exhausting day at Disney, we woke up Saturday morning and decided to relax and play by the pool at the hotel before heading over to Downtown Disney:
Ok, so the kids didn't relax at the pool, they spent their time working hard at dunking their dad for the hour or so we were there. The hard work paid off. They totally succeeded.
Then to Downtown Disney:
Can you believe that whole dragon is made out of legos? So intense. Who has the time to build something like that?
Yep, Woody is made out of legos too. There was also a whole family of tourists and with dogs built out of legos. I was so bummed I didn't get a picture of it. Oh well. You should probably go and see it yourself. Totally worth it.
At home Owen loves to pull out the oven mitts, put them on and run around the house with them on. We found these Dinasour puppets that fit over his hands in the Disney store and he was chasing everyone in the store trying to scare them. Pure entertainment.
After shopping for a little while the kiddos found the souveniers they wanted and we got in the car to make the ride home. I lost my book somewhere along the way and my sweet husband pulled into a rest stop and spent a good ten minutes looking everywhere in the car for it. In the end, we found it under my seat. Oops. He was mad...
Doesn't he fake a really good mad face? What a talented guy I married... such an actor.
We got home around 6:45 that night and Brandon, Sarah and kids really wanted to hit the beach one more time before they left back to Utah so we quickly changed, jumped in the car and headed down to the beach for a swim. We were too busy swimming to get any pictures. Bummer...
One thing so weird about the beach that night... we get done swimming and we go to rinse off all of the sand and this family of five was at the showers totally showering, not rinsing off, full on showering with shampoo, conditioner and soap. Also, the dad had hair cutting shears. Isn't that so weird? Cutting hair and then showering in the beach shower. Not ok.
Something so sweet... while we were at the beach Camron was looking for shells most of the time. When we got home he asked for some string, I didn't have any but told him I had some wrapping paper ribbon he could use. I had no idea what he was using it for when about ten minutes later he came out with a necklace for me and Tyler that he had made out of the shells and the ribbon. We loved them. Such a great gift. Thank Cam!
Sunday was Brandon and Sarah's anniversay so they took an anniversary drive to get some donuts:
Don't be mad at me for posting you guys eating donuts ok? They are the only pics I have of your anniversary date!
They also came back from their anniversary drive with a gift for my house. A new swiffer mop! YAY for anniversaries! Who goes out for their anniversary and comes back with a gift for their sister? Brandon and Sarah do. Man... what did I ever do without a swiffer? They are so much nicer than a mop and bucket. Anway, thanks guys! Happy Anniversary.
We hit up church and then relaxed the rest of the afternoon. That night we decided to take a walk down the riverwalk and jump on a water taxi to check out some of Ft. Lauderdale from the water.
Wow, are we bad parents? Letting our child suck on a hand rail in a water taxi? Probably not the most sanitary item for him to chew on.
Tyler and I love the water taxi but realized that it may be more of an enjoyment for the adults. The kids weren't super into it until we make a stop and saw these:
Can you see those? They are called Tarpon and they are huge. The kids loved this part of the night.
We got home and crashed. We had such a fun busy week and were so not looking forward to the Brandon and Sarah Cushing family leaving us the next day.
Monday morning we got up and said our goodbyes. Such a sad day for us:
One thing I forgot to mention in my first post is that when we picked Brandon and Sarah up from the airport, they came out with only THREE carry on bags for luggage. That's it, for a family of six. Can you believe that? I take more bags than that for just me and Owen. I was super impressed.
Good bye Brandon, Sarah and kids! We miss you already!

well, i have totally enjoyed reading about all your fun adventures. i think my favorite part might be the old guy that got you into Disney....what a clever way to make a little extra $$$ & what a win-win for people who know about it. SOOOO impressed that the whole Brandon & Sarah Cushing fam only had three carry-ons..that is one efficient MOM. Love all the Owen pics--such a cutie.
So cute--love the way you write, Britt. Makes me feel like I'm talking to you--and I miss talking to you. Hopefully this Sunday. Looks like everyone had a great time. Can't wait for our turn to visit you guys.
They are such a cute family.
And how sweet of your nephew to make you guys sea shell necklaces!
Hey! I'm blog-stalking and tracked down some FL friends. I'm so glad your family got to come hang out. You sound like an excellent tour guide! And I love Owen's birthday pic in your sidebar. He's so darling!
What a fun trip! I love reading about all the fun things you did. WE saw a slide show last night. Cherished moments. I love your blog!
Jaxton was sitting on my lap as I was reading this and he is totally loving the Lego Woody. He keeps having me scroll back to it and enlarging it. I may have to print it out so my 3 year old just might be carrying around a picture of Lego and Brandon! Good times. LOVE YA!
