BUUUURRRRRR....

Welcome to sunny, warm Florida... tell that to the 53 degree high temp and a wind chill to send even those living in Chicago indoors. So what did we decide to do? Stay indoors, watch a movie, visit a shopping mall.... let's spend the morning out in the cold geocaching! If you ask what is geocaching, you'll have to ask Yvonne since she gets so animated when she talks about it.


We headed out to 5 spots - but only found 3 (the other two we chickened out after either making a spectacle of tearing up some landscaping or causing some neighbors to come out and investigate our "suspicious teenagers.

We decided to hit Disney's Animal Kingdom for a few hours.
The kids really wanted to ride the new roller coaster they put in from the time we had been here before. Afterwards, they found a "spinning" roller coaster as well - I sat that one out. My excuse was because it only had room for four people...
We also got to experience some of Disney's finest wildlife... "Why is the monkey sitting hanging over the water?" my children ask... Only to be followed up with...(plop) "Ohhhhh" They'll have to journal that one for their school work...
We ended up in Downtown Disney to meet up with another part of the Downs' clan who arrived late last night. No, they are not in this picture.
At the end of the day, Yvonne headed back to the hotel with our oldest two while I got to spend the rest of the evening with Julianne at Hollywood Studios trying to finish off what equilibrium I had left... glad I bought some Tums earlier in the day.

Yep, she's still stuck with me... just no one tell her she still has 8 more days here at Disneyworld... with more of the Downs arriving each day!
