Spring Break in Orlando

Ali had a digital photography assignment to take pictures of what she did on spring break so I am sharing some of them with you. It was fun to finally make the trip that we were scheduled to do in October of '06 (that didn't work out very well). We flew in Thursday, checked in to the hotel and went out to eat then we crashed. Friday we went to Universal Studios from 9:00 am and got home around 10:00 pm. The rides were great but Jeff and I have both decided we may be getting to old for the roller coasters - they are a lot harder on the body now than I remember when we were younger. Saturday we went to Animal Kingdom and then to Epcot in the evening and then Sunday we went to Hollywood Studios. The rides were great but the shows were kind of lame. It was fun though. Then we went back to Epcot for a few more rides and to see the fireworks that night.

Most of these are pictures around the parks or outside. The upside down house is cool and the McDonalds is the largest in the world.
Animal Kingdom was awesome. We enjoyed the rides but we really loved to see all of the animals. The gorilla was our favorite - he seemed to pose for the pictures. Jeff liked the Rhino peeing straight back.
These are some aerial shots Ali got from the plane. We covered quite a bit of country on our flights - even the arch in St. Louis where we stopped for about 20 minutes.

Aren't Babies Gorgeous?!?!?!


Here is a great picture of Mady that I liked. She has learned to yell now - so she squeals and then starts laughing because she is so proud of herself. It is hilarious!!
