From Cape Coral to Orlando

Andrew wrangled us into listening to a time share presentation. It was the worst 4 (supposed to be 2) hours of my life. I will not go on another one. Ever. We didn't end up with a time share but I can see how people do end up buying them.  We did get to go on vacation so there was good that came out of his irrational thinking. I think he was sleep deprived when the sales person got him on the phone thus he wasn't thinking clearly.  

We loaded up Papa's car and headed to Orlando on Friday. There wasn't room for one more bag. The floor was full of bags. The middle of the back seat was occupied by a giant double stroller. It's a good thing Papa is such an excellent packer.  He's the best packer I know. 

We took the long way and went to Manatee Park to see where the manatees reside when the water is cold. The manatees need the water to be at least 68 degrees therefore they head to the park to keep warm with the water produced by the power plant (or something close enough to that). There were so many of them. They are the saddest/sweetest creatures.  We didn't get to see any at Grandma and Grandpa's house but seeing them in masses at the park was worth it.

 Just hanging out. Big Will loved yelling at them. He tends to yell a lot. He's a very excitable child.

This is Miss M with her pirate face on b/c that's a statue of a pirate manatee behind her.  I explained the picture b/c Andrew wanted to know why she looked so mad. Isn't her little outfit cute? Grandma had to pick out a few items for each kid b/c they are both lacking in the summer clothes line of their wardrobe since they just keep getting bigger.

They kids played on the playground to burn some energy before we got back in the truck for the haul to Orlando. Big Will and Kit-Kat slept the entire way which was peaceful and wonderful. Miss M should have slept. She was so tired from all the playing outside and going all week but she didn't sleep in the car. Instead she requested/demanded to go to sleep at 5:30pm that night and then woke up around 8:30am the next day.  Girlfriend was tired.

This was right before she melted down for no reason and demanded to go to bed at 5:30pm. She didn't even eat dinner. Just crashed.
