We had an AWESOME trip to Florida this year! It was Cooper's 2nd time to go, and Colton's first time. Cooper was 2 when he went last, so he didn't remember much about it. It was also the first time for either of them to fly on a plane! We left June 2nd and came back June 7th. Cooper was sick when we left that morning, so he didn't enjoy the flight at all and even threw up on Jim on the plane! Colton was pretty good, but got very bored and whiny for about the last 45 min. of the flight. Cooper had strep or something for most of the trip, so he wasn't feeling the best and therefore couldn't enjoy things as much as he would have otherwise. The first day, we stayed at Bonnet Creek Resort in Orlando. After settling into our room, we went swimming and then went to the world's largest McDonald's Playplace! The next day, we went to Daytona Beach and hit the beach. The boys both had a blast playing in the sand, and Colton LOVED the waves! Also while in Daytona Beach, we went to the Daytona 500 Speedway. We had a tour of the race track, enjoyed the race car exhibits and displays, and watched a NASCAR IMAX movie in 3D. It was all very informative and interesting, and Cooper would have LOVED it had he been feeling better. The next day, we went back to Orlando and spent more time swimming, playing mini golf, going to Downtown Disney & Inlet Harbor, and finished our trip with a trip to Disney's Animal Kingdom. Cooper's favrorite part was the Expedition Everest ride! He went on it 5 times! It was very big, very fast, and quite intense! I'm really surprised that he liked it as much as he did! We also really enjoyed the African Safari, Nemo the Musical, and Lion King show. We were there from open to close, and we still didn't have time to do everything! It was a FUN day! The boys also got their pictures taken with Mickey, Donald Duck, and Goofy! That was definitely a highlight of their day! Colton talked about that for days afterward!
