Florida is hot- part 1

We made it to Florida with our 35 high school kids! Things are going great, and our little family is having quite a vacation. To kick it off we spent two days in Key West, which were spent snorkling, visiting alligators, and shopping. We have spent the last two days at Disney World, first at Epcot and then at Animal Kingdom. This is Debbie's first trip to the Mouse's Lair...you would think that being seven months pregnant would slow her down, but she is the one making us go faster! Oh yeah, Eli is having a good time too. :)


Here are some pictures of the first part of our trip:

Eli is sitting on a urinal in Hemingway's backyard...yep, a urinal. You see, Hemingway had a house in the Keys where he wrote most of his stuff, and he also had 47 cats. So to water these 47 cats Hemingway took a urinal from his favorite bar and used it in his back yard as a watering trough. Cool.

Eli has made lots of friends on the bus, including the girl he's flirting with in this pic

I'll post more pictures when we get home. Till next time...
