Day 5 - Richard Petty/Pool/Downtown Disney

On Day 5 Bobby had his Richard Petty Driving Experience bright and early at 8am. I had booked a ride along for him as well as 8 solo laps for Father's Day this year. I wanted to go with him, but the girls defiantly needed a relaxing morning to recoup from the last few days and just hang out at the pool. I'm sure from the great time Bobby had driving that car that I will be able to go with him another time :-)

The girls had a ball at the pool except for a meltdown Reece had over the water slide that she was too little to go down :-( Kyleigh also did great and finally let go of her floaters in the water. We all knew, and I think she did too, that she could swim just fine, but it always takes Kyleigh a little bit longer to gain that confidence for herself. She did a great job and certainly wore herself out showing us how she could swim back and forth under water with no help. We hadn't really decided what we were doing for the rest of the day, which was good because all of that swimming made Kyleigh take an almost 2 hour nap, something she hasn't done in years! Maybe we need a swimming pool in our backyard after all!!

Bobby got back around 11 and everyone pretty much hung around the apartment and rested until about 4:30 when we decided to go to Downtown Disney. I had reservations for us for dinner at the Rainforest Cafe that night (which was pretty neat by the way). The girls' favorite place was definitely Lego Land. They built cars out of Lego's to race and of course we walked out of there with a couple Lego sets for them (but I think Bobby had the most fun putting these together :-)

Lego playground paradise

We really enjoyed eating at Rainforest Cafe. The food was great and the atmosphere was set up to make you feel like you were in the middle of a real rain forest, complete with thunder storms and animals everywhere!

The "volcano"

We hung out a bit more and shopped and then headed back to the condo. It was a nice quiet day to give a break between all of the walking and rushing around we had been doing!

Savings

Not much to report here. We stayed at the condo/pool most of the day, so I guess that saved money in itself!

What was your favorite???

Brandi: "Hearing the message on my phone when Bobby was done with his driving experience. He had such a great time and sounded so excited!"

Bobby: "Richard Petty Driving Experience.....hands down"

Kyleigh: "Swimming in the pool with grandma"

Reece: "The pool"

Dislikes?

None, we all enjoyed our day (well, except for Reece who would have like to have been taller so she could go down the huge water slide!)
