Gator Land!

So our first full day at Disney was still very rainy. We had tickets to go to LEGOLAND.  We drove all the way there but it was still pouring.  The park was open however, all the rides were outside so there were no rides that were running.  They welcomed us in to go in the gift shops and restaurants but we didn't pay all that money to do that.  Since we ordered the tickets online, they couldn't help us there.  We are still currently working on getting our money back from that.  We were pretty bummed. 
 
So since we rented a car, we went to Walmart!  We needed snacks and stuff anyways. 

 
Then we stumbled upon this place.....Gator Land!

 
It turned out to be pretty cool.  We watched a gator show and the kids all got to sit on a gator.



 
Even Daddy did!

 
The kids had a  lot of fun!



They got to pet gatros.

 
We saw the birds trying to steal food from the gators.

 
We saw all kinds of gators.

 
We watched this dude wrestle a gator.





 
 
We went on a swamp walk.

 
It was basically this boardwalk through a swamp. 




 
We did see this snake.
 
And of course more gators.

 
And some turtles.


 
But then the kids saw this splashpark they had there.  They loved it!

 
Then we went and fed the gators.

















 
The girls even petted a snake!  We even took a picture with one!

 
 
Then we watched another gator show.  It was quite entertaining. 







So despite LEGOLAND being a bust, we still had a great time at Gator Land!

Disney Part 1!

Well it finally happened....
 
DISNEY WORLD!!
 
We left on June 6th.  We woke up in the middle of the night to go to the airport.  We slept at Grandma and Grandpa's the night before.  The kids were ready with their backpacks!


 
We had a lot of luggage.  But we made it to the airport and we were ready!


 
We finally boarded the plane. This was Evie and Presley's first plane ride. They got their wings!   Gracie flew on an airplane but she was only barely 1.


 
We finally made it to Orlando.  We had fun taking pictures all over their airport because Disney was everywhere!




 
And a little bit of NASA too!

 
We went to Disney Springs and the kids found all kinds of goodies that they wanted.  Gracie bought these Elsa ears.

 
Bub found these R2D2 ears.

 
And they had fun trying on these slippers!

 
Evie as excited that she found Sleeping Beauty!

 
 
We also found some cool things made of Legos.
 
But they had fun with Stitch because he shot out water from his mouth!



But then Bub found Buzz Lightyear!
And this cool sword and shield!

 
Then we ate dinner at this neat T-Rex restaurant.  There were dinos everywhere!

 
But then on the way back to our hotel, it rained.  More like poured!  There was a tropical storm in the area so it's a good thing we brought our ponchos!

 
 
The kids were a little sad.
 
But they were better once Grandma hung up our signs in our windows.
