About a year ago my parents put the idea out to the entire family that if we wanted to do a trip to Florida they would provide the house if we could get there. Everyone except my oldest sister Sharon were able to commit(and we sure missed them- hopefully next time!!) We were already planning on going to Disney so we were in. They used VRBO(vacation rental by owner) and found an awesome 7 bedroom house with screened in pool about 10 minutes from Walt Disney World.
After months of anticipation we headed for Florida on Saturday, June 11. We left at 3 am to try to ensure some more sleeping from the kids. My nieces were in town already(their parents would fly in on Tues) so they rode with my parents and we caravanned to our first stop in Fort Walton Beach.

Girls all set watching a movie
First stop- Cracker Barrel of course! Boy did we pass a lot of those
Morgan, Lainey, Taylor, Case and Mallory
As you will see in my post on the way home Case is not much of a car sleeper- here is one of only two times he slept which totaled about 2 hours!
We were able to distract him for literally about 2 1/2 hours with his Tonka truck and finally he passed out.
We stayed at the Sheraton Four Points in Ft. Walton where the kids got to swim. Taylor, Lainey, Mallory and Morgan

The girls only went in the water for a few minutes but man was it pretty- just like Galveston??? ya right
Case wanted to stretch his legs and get in the pool
What's up Mom?
Water Babies!
World's Greatest Dad
On Sunday we would wake up and head for our final destination Kissimmee, Florida. My sister and her kids flew in that evening. Monday we relaxed at the house and let the kids swim all day. Tuesday was show time- see next few posts :)
