There were a couple extra pictures from the two days and today that I just uploaded. There are 66 new pictures in total, starting on page 21 of the album. On the night of the 29th we went to “Downtown Disney”, there were a couple pictures from there that we uploaded. Oliver found a Nascar car that he was rather found of, and then there was the attack of the JoJo’s.

The 30th was when Ernesto made a visit to Orlando - so we shopped in a mall for a bit, and then we just entertained ourselves in the room for the day.
Today (the 31st) we made a trip back to Sea World. The rest of the pictures uploaded today are from Sea World. We played a few games, and won some prizes, then played some games and lost, right before Oliver’s nap he had a blast in a little water playland.

Well just got back from breakfast, but it looks like we are not going to do much today. Ernesto is not as strong as originally forcasted, but it is supposed to be raining and about 45MPH or so. If we decide to head out and do something, other then just indoor shopping I will post more about it - but that or staying in the room and resting is the current plans for the day. Yesterday after everyone’s nap we headed to Downtown Disney, and ate at the Wolfgang Puck restaraunt, and just browsed around.

Today the first order of business (after breakfast) was to get the replacement camera we decided on. So we headed out, got the camera, the larger memory card, and extra batteries and were off to Disney MGM. As I type this Kim and Oliver are both passed out taking a small refresher nap. We rushed to the other side of the park, after getting different directions from 3 different people, and finally got to the place we needed to get the tickets to see the Wiggles. After that Oliver started rubbing elbows with some more celebrities, and then we had lunch. He got to see a couple more of his famous celebrities during lunch - and we found that he’s a big fan of marshmellows, especially when they are put on top of chocolate brownies. After lunch walked around a bit, and made a quick stop into the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground - but unlike the others we stopped by, there was much less for him to play with in that playground. We finally headed out of the park and back to the hotel for a bit of a rest, and I am not sure what we are going to do with the rest of the day - if its anything other then simply getting dinner and relaxing at the pool - I will either update this entry - or add a new one. As always a link to the photo album, and a sample of todays pictures, there are 63 new pictures and they start on page 14 of the florida album.

So we decided to take a different approach today, we went out to eat at one of the various breakfast buffets and then decided we would go to sea world later. You might wonder why we dont have any wonderful pictures of Sea World, well thats because I was so kind as to loose our camera as soon as we entered the park. So we paid our $10 for parking, went in the first gift shop, walked away for 5 minutes, and realized it was gone. Obviously nobody turned it in - and we went out to pick up a new digital camera, which turned into hours of driving around the Orlando area and not finding what we wanted. Since it was so late we got dinner and went outlet shopping - which we planned on doing anyway - but needless to say I am rather miserable about the lost camera. Luckily I think we found our replacement and I will be getting it shortly, and we will try to make it back to sea world before we go home. The only saving grace is the sea world tickets have a special where you can go back as much as you want for 6 days on a single ticket, that and all the pictures thus far have been saved to the laptop and not lost. So that’s it for today’s update, I hope tomorrow is a better day with better things to post about and pictures to show.

Today’s trip started in the same fashion as yesterday. We had breakfast at the hotel lobby, and then we hopped into the Xterra and headed to our destination for the day. We decided to go to Disney’s Animal Kingdom which is essentially Disney’s version of a zoo, integrated with some rides. Oliver was very found of the different birds, but he REALLY loved the fish (sea world should be a big hit). He also got his picture taken with the local celebrities. We went a show called “It’s hard being a bug”, which is a 3d interactive movie. Oliver started to nap during the begining of the movie, but it was cut short by the loud sounds and the “acid” that the bug spit on us all. We ended the day at the park with a ride on the safari, which was a rather bumpy ride that went rather fast at times. So the pictures and video may not do it justice. We ended the day with dinner and swimming at the pool. Below is an assortment of some of the pictures. Check out all of the vacation pictures (including the 85 pictures from today’s trip).

Well it’s time for the daily update. Oliver didn’t sleep well friday night, which is somewhat expected, so we were not sure what kind of day we were about to have. Luckily we aren’t on a set schedule or need to wake up at a specific time because the person who was in our room previously took the alarm clock with them - but we didn’t notice until this morning. Then it was off to the breakfast area for our morning breakfast and off for our day. We decided to go to Universal studios, which has grown quite a bit since Kim or I have been there.

Yesterday we drove down to Philadelphia and got a flight to orlanda. Not much to speak of, obviously the security levels are on high now, so all of us (including oliver) had to remove our shoes to go through the checkpoint. Once we were in orlando there was a shuttle to the luggage claim, then another shuttle to the car rental, and finally we were off to our hotel. We are staying at the comfort inn & suites. Time to start making plans for tomorrow, as long as I dont get lazy I plan on waking up and writing a daily post with pictures from the day before, making good use of the hotel’s free wireless =)

We went and had the 3d/4d ultrasounds done on larrababy 2.0, shes sure to be a camera hog like her big brother.

We took a bunch of pictures on the company trip to NYC Check them out here

Ultrasound results indicate that our second child will be a girl! Here is a quick ultrasound picture added to her album. I have others as well, but sometimes the scanner isnt very cooperative with black and white photos, so I will be adding them another day.
