Florida Day 1

So today we finally arrived!

We woke up a tad on the late side but not too bad for us. Steve and I both woke up at Midnight and then could not fall back asleep and then when we did we woke up a little behind. We made it though and followed the schedule pretty well. We ended up going to have breakfast at McDonalds on the way to the airport and then made it there around 5. Sadie was doing okay until we had to wait in the security line and then she flipped out and was throwing a fit. It was not good. We waited at the terminal for about 1.5 hours which felt like forever and I was the very last person on the plane as planned. Well, it didn't really seem to matter because Sadie was not in a good mood. She kept going from person to person just as we guessed she would and it wad pretty rough. I was in a pretty bad mood for awhile (sorry family). Eric did good and Zenia did good (thank you God) with her ears. So when we arrived in Orlando everyone was happy to be here and be safe. We ended up getting our rental cars and right after Debbie and Darren announced to us that they just got engaged! Yeah!! So happy for them. Well after that we were off to Downtown Disney. Well, on the way there we get a call that we left a bag at the AirTran gate. Thank goodness they got ahold of us because lo and behold all of our clothes were left behind. So back we go, I picked up the bag and we were again off to Downtown Disney. When we arrived we saw Characters in Flight was up and running so mom and I were excited to get on board; however, the wind picked up so that plan was out. Eric wanted to check out TRex so Zenia, he, Sadie and I went in there for a minute while everyone else went to McDonalds. Zenia and Eric decided they too wanted McDonalds but I really wanted to try Earl of Sandwich so I split up from them to get my sandwich and boy was I glad I did. I had an Italian sub and it was amazing! So then we walked around for a bit and checked things out. Grandma, Grandpa, Jodie and Megan soon showed up and we all treated ourselves to Ghiradelli sundaes. Awesome! Such a great food day. Grandma went shopping with us in the World of Disney and then we all again split up to do our grocery shopping. Zenia, Jan, Sadie, Darren, Debbie and I all went to Walmart while Steve, Gene and Eric went to pick up our park tickets. So once that was all over (again Sadie was not in a good mood) it was time to check in to the house! Sadie finally fell asleep on our way into the house after being up the entire day. The house is beautiful and the pool water was like a bath. I woke Sadie up from her nap so she would still sleep at night and took her in the pool. Sadie only swam for about 5 minutes since first she got dunked by Eric (on accident) and then the wind made it a little chilly. The only things that happened were we kept finding a bunch of little problems in the house and ended up having to call maintenance about 3 times. Like our dryer is broke, some dining room chairs, our hair dryer does not work, etc. So they are supposedly coming out tomorrow to fix everything. Tonight we had Red Barron frozen pizza for dinner and it was delicious after that we attempted to get Sadie to sleep after her waking up 3 times. Steve fell asleep with Sadie and now I am going to get a few things ready for the Studios tomorrow and get some sleep too!
