Downtown Disney one last time

We've had so much fun getting to know this young family. We just decided we are going to adopt all of them (LOL). We are really going to miss them. Leah is such a little lady and Dillon is just full of beans. It's going to be hard to see them go home to Edmonton today so we are making plans to see them in Florida next year. At least Pete, Leah, Dillon and I are. The other two keep talking about an anniversary trip. So here we go!!

leaving Magic Kingdom

Rice Krispies and toast taste better with ears on

the hat says Toy Story but the light sabre says Star Wars

This Princess Leia costume was Leah's boog-a-la present. It was fun to watch her hunt

Face painting was a big hit

Dad got into the act too. This was one didn't pass inspection.

kids love bubbles and these two are no exception

stopped a stranger for help with this picture. He did a good job.

this is the one that made it home

We had lunch at T-rex cafe. The food was OK but the atmosphere rocked!

The best Family Night we've ever had.

It was stake conference weekend for the ward we attend here in Davenport. So with no meetings in the local ward, we decided to plan our own Sunday. We drove to the Orlando temple and enjoyed the grounds and the feeling there.

 Does he look like a sumo wrestler to you? Notice the top knot.

 I have taught and been taught in many a home evening lesson. The lesson we were taught tonight by Leah ranked among the best. She taught a lesson on faith.

Here we have Peter sailing in Sea of Galilee. Peter is the blue cup and his boat is the snorkel. 

 He sailed across the sea and a storm came up - depicted by the waterfall.

 He looked to shore and saw the Saviour walking on the water towards the ship (the Saviour is the beachball)

 With the Saviour's encouragement Peter left the ship and started to walk to the Saviour on the water.



 He became afraid and started to sink. His faith had weakened.

 The Saviour stretched forth his hand and rescued Peter. We then read a scripture and discussed faith. Dillon closed with prayer and we had popsicles for treat.

Isn't that an amazing lesson? It's easy to see what goes on in the Fisher's home.

Everyone was cuddled and the kids went off to bed anticipating the Magic Kingdom on Monday.

The Amazing "See" World

It was a clear day. Not many people. And we were able to see everything we wanted to see - right up close. These kids love fish and underwater adventures. Once we got the sunscreen out of Leah's eyes and move fast enough for Dillon, it was amazing to watch them feed stingrays and enjoy the wonders of the water. Patrick was in his glory too. But for me, hearing Kim giggle and watching her blue eyes sparkle as she watched her family was the highlight. The greatest decision of the day was to rent a stroller to keep the sun from their heads and their feet rested.

 this was our Sea World 'greeter' as we entered the gate



Dillon talking with a squirrel - can you see him?

 Manitees eating spinach - funny that they get this large eating greens

 Kim got in the action too

 Leah was in her glory. She talked about it for the rest of the day

 It wasn't raining - the sun was just too hot on our backs

 one turned left and one turned right

this was amazing - Dillon was catching bubbles and laughing his head off 

Dillon was pretending to be a ride operator at Sea World. Incredible imagination

All in all it was perfect day. We left and ate fish at Red Lobster and came home and swam for two hours.

They have arrived

We picked up Kim, Patrick, Leah and Dillon from the airport on Wednesday evening. Since then we have

been to Downtown Disney for lunch at the Rainforest Cafe, an appointment with a face painter and a makeover for Princess Leah at the Bippity Bop Boutique. We also took a trip to Madeira Beach and enjoyed the beautiful white beaches. We are having lots of fun and look forward to SeaWorld tomorrow.
