Summary

So we went to Florida and had a great time, and we were so busy I didn't have time to blog.
We went to Universal Studios on the first day, and then we bought a 5 day park hopper pass to Disney World.
Day 1: Magic Kingdom, what a great place this is. I love it, and if you are going the end of Spetember is a great time to go since it is low season. It does not mean that you are not surounded by people at all times, but the lines are not quite as long as they could have been. I was sure that Troy would love this place as well, and for the first five minutes he did. He got to meet with Pluto, and that was fun. Then there was a show outside the castle and we got a good spot to watch it. Seeing Mickey and the rest of the gang was fun. Peter Pan came out and that was fun, but then Captain Hook came out and that was not fun. He turns around and tells me: this is scary, and before he is done telling me that the witch from Snow White came out and he is screaming bloody murder. He is desperate and wants to get away from there. We had to have a long talk about how even mean charachters have to be nice to he kids in the park, or they would not be allowed to be there. All they could do was pretend to be bad.
Day 2: Animal Kingdom, this place was great. No scary people, and going on a safari was great. We came to the park a little late, not knowing that they closed at 6pm, so we only got to see about half of the park.
Day 3: Hollywood Studios, this was a great place for Troy. They had playhouse Disney and a lot of fun shows and rides for the young kids. Both Troy and I loved the 4D interactive Toy Story ride.
Day 4: The Epcot Center, we went to the Norwegian Pavillion so the kids got to speak Norwegian with someone other than us. Troy kept telling them that even though he spoke Norwegian he speaks a lot of English. When Troy and I walked around by ourselves he wanted to speak English. He really kept practicing. Mommy, that's a window, that's a door. Mommy look there. His English really is improving by the hour.
We ended the day by going back to Magic Kingdom
Day 5: Magic Kingdom, Troy got to decide witch rides he wanted to go on, and we had a fantatic day at the park.
Day 6: The Florida vacation was over and we left the house we had been staying in. Troy was not happy about leaving Florida. He was not looking forward to a 10 hour car ride, he did pretty good though, and we made it to Alabama before we decided to call it a day.
Day 7: We left the hotel room early and decided we would make it back to TX that day. We stoped by Wal Mart and picked up a few movies for Troy and we took a long break at a mall so that the kids got to run around a little bit.
