Back to Lake Apopka for a few more Disney days! 2/12-16

On our drive back north to central Florida, we finished listening to

 

We had to take care of some regular house maintenance issues... Groceries, laundry, carwash. 

The laundromat we found was huge, cheap, and entertaining. 

The next day, we went to the carwash for the 2nd time this whole trip! It took Scott and I over an hour to vacuum the whole thing, but at the end, it looked as good as when we bought it. I was sooo happy! I told Scott this was the best Valentine's Day gift. Haha.

Ky was the latest to get sick, so we let her rest while Scott dropped the boys at Disney for a day on their own.

At first they texted us every 10 minutes. "We're going here." "We arrived here." "We're stopping there." "Do you have a recommendation for what ride we go on next?"

I finally texted both older boys, "Enjoy your independence. You don't have to text us all day. Don't spend the day looking at your phone! Look around and enjoy your day. (:"

In the end, they had a fun day and Ky and I got the rest we needed. We even joined them at the end of the day to meet Mickey, because that's one thing we couldn't do our first time here. 

Tuesday, everyone was back to full strength and we enjoyed Tom Sawyer's Island for the first time.

 The boys played hide and seek while Scott & I relaxed.

 This lady had the awesome job of being paid to play checkers with my daughter!

 Sy really enjoyed doing the Pirate's Adventure treasure hunt.

 Back at Animal Kingdom, we took the Kilimanjaro Safari ride again to check out the animals.

 Termite mounds are incredible to see after learning about termites in Challenge A.

 It is always amazing to see a baby with its mother "in the wild".

 It is such a treat to be so close to the animals!

 This ride was not open when we were here last. We got soaked! But it was much warmer than when we came last month.

 Ky grew antennae!

 Primeval Whirl - ?

Sy loved the dinosaurs and the dinosaur ride, too!
