 Hey Ladies!

 Escapees- After Them!

End of the night non-compliance faces.

Tots, Tottin

If they get any cuter, I'll probably have them stuffed- preserving both their looks and ensuring quiet time.

Last Day At Universal(s) (Thanks Be to The Maker)

 Butter Beer, mmmm

This was the end of our lovely little vacation- a wonderful one, no doubt. We have laid plans to return in May, when the crowds are less crowdy and the weather slightly more predictable. 

Thanks to all that made this so much fun; 

Shane, Mom, Auntie/ Grandma Cindy, Uncle Jim, Neal, Great Grandpa and Great Lynnma, Big Daddy and all of the characters and animals! We had a Super Magical time!

Day Something or Other...Orlando

 SEA WORLD!!!!! Mama has waited soooo long, endured endless crowds and scenic overload all for this! Finally, we get to see the animals :)

 Hmm, Woog already looking suspiciously uncooperative 

 YAY!

 Uncle Shane points out the sting rays in the touch pool. Grandma and Kovi were even brave enough to feed the ugly little creatures.

 The kids were totally digging the dolphins. Me too!

 Hey Chump, nice chimp

 Ever got down on the floor aquarium to get an up close view of the sting rays and sharks

 Love this girl

 and this man/boy

 The Cutest Pair

 Orca. Orca. Orca.

Perfect 10! Kovi and Ever loved the Orca whale Believe show. Other than Frankie the black stallion, this is the only other thing he remembers.

Turkey Day Celebration and Food Fest

 Pretty little Ever waiting for the boat to take us to Loews Royal Pacific for dinner

 Oh look, it's the world's biggest Hard Rock

 Cousins Neal and Shane looking spiffy

 Little ballerina coloring pretty

 Shane and Lynnma

 Why yes, that IS a mimosa

 Welcome to the Royal Pacific... delightful

 Baby Big Girl

 Eaters of food and drinkers of drink... lots of drink

 Full tummies and now the boat ride back to Universal for more fun and amusement

 Nifty plane boat thing

 A midnight kiss (ok, 7pm) at the Universal globe

 Brother and sister

 Uncle and niece...instant love

 Things 1 and 2

 Leaving Universal

 and heading back to Port Orleans, French Quarter for some watery fun

 But Woog was the only gator brave enough to get all the way in
