Steve, Bryce and I left Thursday evening and arrived in Orlando around 8:30pm at a restaurant called Smokey Bone and met up with Chad, Rebekah, Chase, Eric, Sherri and Kelsey for a late supper. After they stopped at a ice cream place called Dippin Dots for dessert we headed for the condo.The condo's were very nice and are all timeshares rented out by people for a week at a time. Eric and Sherri had been there since the previous Sunday and had different family members visit throughout the week and so Chad, Rebekah and Steve and I and our kids were finishing out their week with them.The places have two bedrooms on one side, with one bedroom being a master suite with king size bed and very big bathroom with jacuzzi tub and walk in shower and the other bedroom having two queen beds and your own bathroom. Also included was a nice sized living room, dining room and kitchen with a balcony overlooking a pool and waterway with fountains.Adjoining all that with a foyer is another side that has one bedroom with a queen bed and another bathroom with another jacuzzi and also has a smaller kitchen and living room and so we each had our own bedrooms and bathrooms.Friday, Steve, Bryce and I headed for breakfast at a Perkins and then arrived at Sea World around 10am. We were able to see all the shows and do everything we wanted to see and do except for the dolphin show because a deluge of rain hit around the time we were planning on seeing that show. The other two couples arrived somewhere around 2:30pm or so and saw the last couple shows with us. Eric and Sherri had already been to Sea World earlier in the week and actually had to make a trip all the way back home early that morning to do some paperwork on a property they owned and Chase sleeps in pretty late so Chad and Rebeka waited until Eric and Sherri returned to come meet up with us at Sea World.After the last show we headed back to the condo to clean up and then went to a neat little restaurant called Joe's Crabhouse and since it was popular and you had to wait 45-60 minutes for a table at any given time, they had put in a neat little playground to keep the kids happy while you waited. About every 20-25 minutes all the waiters and waitresses stop what they are doing and they do a country line dance for all the people eating. It was a neat and cute idea. They have a big bucket in the middle of your table and everything that is trash gets dumped in there, whether it be paper, bones, or whatever. They had good food and a neat atmosphere.Saturday morning we all enjoyed the pool and sun for several hours, then that afternoon the three girls headed for an outlet mall for a little while and then that night we went to the Melting Pot that ends up being a three hour thing. Not something I would ever recommend doing with kids, but we did it and Bryce was worn out and slept most of the time. Sunday morning after packing up and helping get the condo ready, we headed home and it was good to see Connor's face when he saw Daddy and Mommy again and it was so good to get his hugs and kisses again.
