Off to Orlando!

This was our fifth year in a row to Orlando.  Although in the past I have blogged about every day, as they were often action packed, we really relaxed a lot on this trip, and most days were really quite similar.  I won't have too much to say in terms of the things we did! 

Our flight was at a slightly more reasonable hour this year: 8:30.  Waking up at 4:30 was just fine, and we managed to get to the airport lounge to have a bit of breakfast for about 25 minutes.  We did have to go to the gate to attempt to sort out our really bad seating arrangement that had been giving me nightmares for weeks.  In the end we were able to swap around with people and sit all in a row.  This will be the last plane ride having to hold a toddler in our laps.  The next time we fly Henry will be 2.  It's still so much easier for Mike to hold Henry.  He is calmer when he sits with Mike for some reason, and so am I.  I don't like holding him for take off and landing as I am really nervous during that time.  It's better for mike to be able to hold him a lot tighter.  We had it a bit easier this time as Henry now likes tv shows and the iPad.  Our flight was really smooth, and soon we were in warm Orlando.  It was a beautiful day.  We went for McDonalds upon arrival as it is tradition, even though it made us feel gross, and didn't bode well with the stomach bug that Rose and Paige had.  

Our room wasn't ready at first, so we ended up changing at the pool and playing at the "sand park" by our soon-to-be room.  I went to the store to grocery shop after a little while and when I got back we went into the room with the food and all of our stuff and mike immediately set off to get Grandma Val who had just arrived.  Yay!

 This is one of my favourite photos ever.  Someone said it looks like "Henry's Angels", and that is so true!
