Day 3 Part 1

Day Three was very eventful so I have to break it up a little...

All seven of us were up early and off to the Gingerbread House for breakfast.  My sister took some random, kind of wacky pictures at breakfast...

Waffles

Trevor, his donut and a glimpse of the peppermints in the table

After breakfast there were two little dogs outside with their owners, sitting on the bench just waiting to give a little love.  The owners gave out cute little certificates to the kids for loving on the dogs.  One of the dogs looked just like a dog we had for over ten years and lost last year.  Addison is animal crazy and really wanted to stay there forever... only the mention of horseback riding could drag her away.

After the dogs, the kids had to squeeze in a quick ride on the carrousel.

After that we were off to Keaton's Korral to ride horses. Addison and Allie rode, while Elliot and Trevor watched, I am not sure why Elliot chickened out! The kids received certificates and cowboy hats!

The playground was directly across the street from our Villa so the kids went over their to play for a few minutes while we all got ready for the rest of the day.  My sister took some more pictures of them playing.

Next Craig, Trevor and Elliot were off to Muaiva Air to fly in a four seater Cessna!  Trevor got to ride up front next to the pilot and he actually got to fly the plane!  He was so excited about this and is constantly referring back to it, saying nothing tops being able to fly a plane!  They had a great time taking in Orlando from above.  While they were off flying, the girls went to Walmart for a few necessities and some Disney merchandise shopping.  

We met back up with the boys in the Village. We had Ice Cream before lunch, followed by lunch from Katie's kitchen. This picture (my sister took) cracks me up! Trevor, with my mom holding Elliot in the background!

A little squirrel stalked us the entire meal, hoping we'd drop something.  I think she just about climbed up on the table to eat from our plates!  After lunch we tried a little mini golf, but the kids bored of it quickly. We spent a little time in the train station after that.

The boys had planned to go on an Air Boat Tour that afternoon but Elliot begged to go to the pool instead so they did what he wanted! Me, Mom, Allie and Addison took off for Downtown Disney and few surprises! 

Coming up next... A Princess Transformation and some Wicked Step-Sisters!

Day Two

We woke up to sunshine and blue skies!!!  Everyone was up and off to the gingerbread house for breakfast. After eating Addison looked at Mrs. Claus' chair and said she wished she could sit in it... I told her she could and her whole face lit up! All three kids decided to pile in together.

After breakfast we went over to the Castle of Miracles to see Curious George and the Man in the Yellow hat.  The kids were so surprised that George was not a small little monkey!

After that we had to ride the carousel... twice!

think he is already tired of the camera?!?

Next we stopped by The Clayton's house but they were not in.  The door was open so we made ourselves at home.

then we stopped for a bite of some cookies...

Finally, we were off to Sea World! Just after getting our stroller we ran into Shamu and had to stop for pictures

Sea World allows Wish kids and their families to have free fish to feed to the sharks, dolphins and stingrays so we decided to fed the sharks next!

Addison didn't want any part of touching those dead gross fish so she dumped her container straight into the water, but Elliot had no problem handling them!

Next we made our way over to Shamu's Happy Harbor for some kiddie rides

this one is Elliot's favorite!

Next up was the Shamu Believe showhere we got to see 5 whales swim together at the same time, included the 5 month old baby!

The kids were already getting cranky, it was hot and crowded but there was no way we were leaving without feeding the dophins so we headed that way next.  We stood in line until a Cast Member realized what we were doing and directed us to the exit.  We received 4 trays of fish and the dolphins were all over us.  Elliot loved feeding them and was grabbing fish and throwing them to them quickly!

We couldn't get any to come up for us to pet them so I found a trainer and asked if she could help.  She called one up on the side of the wall and everyone got to rub his side, it was amazing!

After that, I took Addie and Elliot to the gift shop while Craig and Trevor rode Manta.  They were able to go in the exit and ride with the fast pass people.  We left after that because the kids were done.  We got back to the village, grabbed some Katie's Kitchen for lunch, went back to the villa and ate.  Craig decided he needed a nap so I took the kids to the pool.  After swimming for an hour or so we went back and got cleaned up and got daddy up.  Then we caught a ride on a cart and headed up for an ice cream cone.  We wanted to go play putt putt but it was closed due to flooding from all the rain.  Instead we went for a train ride and played with some remote control boats.

Then it was time for the Pirate and Princess Party so we started heading towards the pool.   We saw the Cookie Cart and had to have some cookies, which were so delicious!!  Addison was dressed as a princess, received a crown and got her face painted.

Elliot decided against painting, but got a bandana.  We met a really sweet family that was here to hang out, their son (angel) had his trip in 2004 and we talked to them several times throughout the night.  Elliot had a blast with them.  Around that time my mom and sister arrived!  Princess Dolly the Dolphin and Pirate Shamu wandered our way...

After the excitement of the party wore off we decided to go over to The Castle of Miracles so the kids could make their pillows.

Me, mom, Allie (my sister) and Addison had our picture taken in the castle thrones

Trevor and Elliot squeezed in another quick ride on the carousel.  We headed back to the villa and ordered pizza.  The kids ate while they watched Tangled and then we hurried them into their pajamas.  They had a very special surprise coming and we refused to tell them what it was.  Just a little later there was a knock at the door and when Elliot answered it, he was greated by Mayor Clayton and Mrs. Mary, both in their jammies!!  The kids were so excited and we hung out in the living room for a little bit. Elliot at first refused to talk because the rabbit's were not talking.  He gave out silly bands to both of them and we all had a lot of fun.

Next we all went to the bedroom so the bunnies could tuck the kids into bed for the night.  It was a hilarious time, with the Mayor jumping on the bed and being a silly rabbit.  The kids had a blast and I caught most of it on video!

After the bunnies left we got everyone calmed down and back to bed.  Tomorrow is full of more surprises and fun!
