Orlando... Day 5 and 4

Day 5- Wednesday
Our schedule got a bit turned around today, as the weather was not 'perfect' like it was every other day. Instead of spending the time between naps in the pool, we went to Downtown Disney. Still not a bad way to spend an afternoon...



After naps the weather deteriorated even more, so we went to 'hang out' in the lobby of the Floridan. It was real nice, with a live orchestra playing in the lobby and plenty of room to crawl around and explore.

We had a very low-key evening; ordering a pizza, renting a movie, and just hanging out on the couch. Exactly what I needed after the crazy and fun night I had with Dad the night before (see below :-)).

Day 4- Tuesday
Today started like every other vacation day, with me hearing my roommates babbling, and then turning my head to find this little guy smiling at me.

Connor wishing me a good morning, and giving me one :-).
Like the two previous days, we spent every minute of the time between naps in the pool. No pictures today, though, as they looked as they did yesterday; same suits, same smiles, same everything.
During our late afternoon excursion, we went over to Disney's Boardwalk. We walked around and found a few new things for our guys to experience.
Me with my guys, who look to be a bit distracted when this picture was taken :-). The boys were introduced to sand for the first time. Liam and Connor love to play in it.
And Aidan, he would rather eat it. Literally fists and fists full. It was a full-time job to keep those hands out of the mouth. Yuck!!!
Grandpa found a hammock for Liam to lay and rest (and play).
We think Liam enjoyed the hammock.
That was until his brother's crashed his space.
After playing in the sand, Connor enjoyed kicking his legs in the pool. Aidan and I are having a pretty good time on the Boardwalk.
Grandma is always looking to introduce the boys to new things. Here she is taking Liam on his first slide ride.
In front of this bar, Grandpa explained to the boys that they will each be responsible for smuggling a 6 pack of beer to him one day a week, when they're 21 and he's in the nursing home. The boys agreed. Once the boys were in bed, my dad and I went to 'our' Orlando place, Pat O'Briens, for some Hurricanes. Like every other time we were there, we managed to have an absolute blast.
Dad was quite impressed that we found the car so easily (a few years ago we had an interesting time finding it). And notice the parking lot... it was empty. We kind-of stayed out too late. It didn't seem late, until the boys woke up only 4 1/2 hours after we got home... oops!!!

Yet, another perfect vacation day, minus Daddy!!!
