This year, we headed down to Orlando for Independence Day. We were running late to attend the fire works show at Avalon Park in south east Orlando. But everything worked out and we got there just in time for what turned out to be a great show.

One thing I noticed about the show this year, the fire works looks so much like flowers.

As a kid, Cypress Garden wasn’t high on my list of “must-go”. That’s probably because we lived so close to Disney and Sea World. So, I never paid attention much to the Cypress Garden ads on TV.

Fast forward to today, I have a new appreciation for Cypress Garden. There are lots of rides the kids really loved. The park isn’t packed to the point of waiting in line for an hour. In fact, a five minute line was more typical. That allow us to accomplish many things during the day.

The dark black ring below are the kids getting spun around in the air!

 

 

Apparantly golf is really growing within the family. It’s almost to an addiction. So when someone hears about family reunion, it’s time to plan for a golf match. Of course, it’s also a good time for the boys to come out and drive the golf carts for the men. However, Noah will have nothing about driving a cart, he’s more interested in driving the golf ball 100 yards.

Austin doesn’t really drive a ball that long, but at least he did dual duty and drove one of the carts.

While waiting for the ladies to dress for the upcoming baptism, the kids were ready. So, why not take some quick snapshots. Here are some shots before we headed off to Alexis’ baptism.

During the down time in Orlando, we headed out to Sky Adventures. This is where you get in a wind tunnel and the air pushes on you so that you float like you’re free falling. The kids wanted to do this, so obviously some of us adult had to hitch in the fun.

Here they are learning the proper position. I won’t post the pathetic position Don had :).

Now, they gear up. Everyone had ear plugs, goggles, helmets, and a jump suit. The kids look so cool in jump suits.

The entire gang!

 

 

And here is Amber’s first attempt. They pretty much let everyone get their bearings in the first attempt.

And Holly…

And this is Austin in his 2nd attempt. At the end of the 2nd attempt, they ride tandem with you and they spin you at high speeds up and down the wind tunnel. Everyone loved it.

Down to Orlando to spend time with the family. Great weather, great fun. Here’s a sneak to the golf course while the girls are out getting their hair done. View the pictures by [clicking here].
