orlando day 1
We've nearly finished our first full day here in ORL. It was fun but tiring. We did have a happy suprise tonight though. We just watched 3 different parks' closing fireworks from the screened in porch at my Mom's time share while Isaiah slept on Mommy's lap.
Today was filled with a lot of firsts for Isaiah. It was his first Disney experience, his first theather show, his first parade, his first eating solids not in his high chair at home, and his first swim in a pool. We went to Disney's Animal Kingdom and while we didn't get to ride a ton of rides it was still fun. We went on the Safari, and while my sister Becca and I waited to ride the Everest Rollercoaster, Grandma Kolis and Rachel took him to see the Lion King musical which I'm told he started dancing alot too and enjoyed very much. We stuck around for the parade which he fought to stay awake through (though he did flirt with Minnie a bit by giving her a big smile) and fed him in the park just before leaving the park at 5ish. He was beat and we figured it was best to not burn him out the first day here, especially since it was 85-90 most of the day I think.
My Mom and Becca went back to the parks and Rachel and I took Isaiah swimming here at the resort. It was a shallow pool but Rachel and I think we've got a little Micheal Phelps on our hands (minus the drugs) because he was kicking a fair amount on his own and seemed to enjoy it. I think our biggest challenge was keeping him from trying to drink the water. We then came back to the condo and gave him a bath in the only tub in the condo, the jacuzzi. We didn't turn on the jets or anything just filled up this 5 foot by 5 foot tub with a couple of inches of water and kept our suits on to give him a bath. I've got some funny pictures we'll post them when we get back.
Tomorrow we're going to EPCOT and to see Rachel's Aunt Sandy and Uncle Chuck who live here and Wednesday we may day trip over to Cocoa Beach to hit up the ocean if he's up for it.
More to come!
