On Saturday, we had made plans to meet Chip's family who lives in Florida, Dennis & Lynn. His Great Aunt Ann passed away just a few months before, so instead of visiting at her house as we'd done in previous years, we met at the Crayola Experience in Orlando's mall.
 |
| We learned all about the history of the Crayola crayon and how they are made. |
 |
| All the Crayola crayons made to date.....wow! |
 |
The kids really enjoyed this part of the museum.
They both love clay and slime, so they used their tokens which we got upon arrival to buy clay from the machine and as you can see, they made some cool stuff. |

Do you see what Dan made?

This was definitely a cool experience and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Orlando on a rainy day or as a tourist sick of the parks. Especially on those hot summer days! The kids enjoyed it and it was a nice way to spend some time with family. We all had lunch in the food court and then went our separate ways.
 |
| Orlando mall definitely caters to tourists! |
 |
| While the kids loved spending the morning with Dennis and Lynn (they both think Dennis is so cool), we were all excited to get to the resort and get checked in. Fortunately, though check in wasn't until 4pm, they had our room ready and we were checked in and unpacked and pool bound by 4pm! |
 |
| Look who even offered to do his own sunscreen to help speed things up....ha! |
 |
| Hello, sunshine & palm trees!!! |

Dan said his feet "got old" his first day in Florida.
Funny boy! |
 |
| After a few hours at the pool, we went to PeiWei for dinner and then hit Walmart to get some provisions (aka coffee and creamer) for the room! |

That evening the resort had Smores.....so you know where we were!
It was from 8-9 and it was close to 9 by the time we got there, but there were plenty left. |
Great first day and night in sunny Orlando.....hello Spring Break!!
