Picture our House with Children!!!

Yes...picture our house with children, 9 of them to be exact. This is what our house might look like...



Minus all the crazy Disney stuff.

Our friends Brandon and Brianna live in a town home and were having the 1st birthday celebration for their son Bryce. They began to panic when they realized that 30 people RSVP-ed to come to their party and their living room wouldn't fit even half that. They asked if we could host the party, and of course we were game, we love parties after all AND who can resist this cute kid.

Brandon and Brianna met at the college program so Disney is life for them. How do we end up always making friends will all the Disney nuts?
21 adults, 9 children, and a ton of toys our house was full. I can't imagine having kids sometimes. Omar is so funny, he was like, "you should have kept me in the bedroom during the party, I definitely don't want kids now." The kids played, the adults talked and then there was cake and ice cream. I couldn't believe how much cake Bryce ate, it was almost the whole CAKE!!!

World's Largest Skycoaster

I bought a groupon for Omar and I to do the Skycoaster together at Old Town! It was AWESOME and I would do it again in a heart beat. Now my next big thing is Sky Diving! Omar has done the Skycoaster a few times before with other girls that he used to date. Sometime I wonder how I got so jipped when we were dating. Hmmm...

Wonderworks

I had never done Wonderworks before and thought it was about time. We bought groupons to go of course we refuse to pay full price for anything in Orlando. I think with my history of being a 4th generation Floridian and my mom and uncles as well as myself growing up in Kissimmee, everything should be free. But that is a different story.

We went to Wonderworks and we happened to run into the Moody family there, we seem to run into them all the time, and it was just funny that we would run into them in Orlando since we both live in Jacksonville.

Of course we have little patience for lines and so we did not do every activity there at Wonderworks. I was honestly surprised at how much there was to do there. We were told that it takes about 2 hours to complete, it took us 4 hours. Of course we were in line for about 45 minutes to do the ropes course, 20 minutes to do the 4D adventure, and 15 minutes for the lazer tag. We didn't even bother waiting to do the make and rider your own rollercoaster, Omar said those are boring. So we waited for about an hour and 20 minutes to do stuff.

The ropes course was fun, I just wish there weren't so many little kids on it, they were so scared and would hold everything up. With so many people up there it made it impossible to get around people. The lazer tag was fun, but there was no where to hide so it made it sort of impossible as well. The 4D ride was okay, but made me feel a little sick to my stomach which was odd for me.

The one thing that we should have done is bought a soda there. I was so thirsty and we found out from others that you can buy this large soda cup for like $3 and get free refills. Ah well.

Still we had a good time and there would be other things we could go back to if we ever go there again. I am sure when we have kids they would enjoy it. It reminded me of a mix between Epcot's Innoventions and The Orlando Science Center.
