After our wonderful Christmas, we all headed down to Orlando for the week. We stayed in the beautiful Marriott resort and took advantage of the amenities and near by attractions. One day Zach's family went to Disney with Mom and they were nice enough to trade Vallen for Ayden so that I could stay off my feet but Ayden could have fun with her cousins. Ayden is still talking about it. We spent more time together and wish it could've lasted longer.
(I have no idea why Ayden decided to flash the camera)
There were numerous kiddie pools that the girls enjoyed.
Vallen being a good sport watching everyone play.
A friendly family game of volleyball...with a not as friendly tennis game to follow!
Part of the family Christmas were tickets to the FSU Champs bowl game. We won, barely.
On New Year's Eve we went over to Busch Gardens. They have a huge area just for kids. Since Jill and I could not ride anything in our current conditions, we watched the girls while the adults hit up the coasters. The girls had a blast jumping in this enormous bouncy house.
All the Sesame Street characters were there. Ayden loved it. However, Elmo was in a special room where no pictures were allowed. We saw him but did not pay a small fortune for the picture.
More fun for the kids.
Busch actually is a zoo as well. All of us took the jungle train to see the animals, which were quite a few.

What a fun two weeks spent as family! As everyone's families continue to grow, it's always harder to get together. We cherish these times and can't wait to do again this summer!
