This morning the kids wanted to swim so we headed over to a pool we discovered on yesterday's scavenger hunt. It has waterfalls and water cannons. Tristan met some friends who he played water football with. Florida still has the strangest weather I've ever experienced. It was sunshine... rain... sunshine... rain all morning. The temperature is still plenty warm (mid 80's) so in a way, I'm grateful for the rain. The first day we were here I was really feeling the heat and humidity and I was wondering if I'd made a mistake coming here 8 months pregnant.
This afternoon we went back to MGM to catch a few things we missed and to see the night-time Fantasmic show. We rode Star Tours which I had forgotten I wasn't fond of when we went to Disneyland a few years ago. Gavin wasn't thrilled with it either, he was sitting between Tristan and I and he was asking for Dan the whole time. I kept telling him to close his eyes if it was too scarry and at one point I even put my hand over his eyes to spare him the motion sickness that seems to come with that ride. He pulled my hand away from his face as though the curiosity was too much to resist.
We also saw a fun Jedi training show in which Darth Vader made an appearance. It was especially fun since we brought the first three Star Wars movies on this trip. The kids have been watching them in the morning and a lot of our conversations have revolved around me trying to sort out the whole Star Wars saga.
We also saw a Little Mermaid Show (Jolie loved it but Tristan acted as though we were torturing him to make him sit through it), an Indiana Jones stunt show, we came across Jo Jo and Goliath from Playhouse Disney, and we went to the big Fantasmic Show which was incredible. Gavin was very concerned about whether Malificint would be making an appearance. She must have made quite an impression on him at the Magic Kingdom show the other day!
It was a fun day! Sadly, tomorrow is our last full day here. We're not sure whether we'll go to Animal Kingdom or back to Magic Kingdom for our last day.

We're watching Sleeping Beauty as I type; borrowed from our friends and been playing 24/7 since we picked it up yesterday. I'd be interested to see the girls' faces if Melificent got close.
The end of the trip is always a drag...just knowing it will end soon. Glad you all had fun!
Great pictures and commentary about the fun-filled week. Those memories will last forever. You are young enough to make it through a week of constant wonder and excitement. Too bad it goes by so quickly and you can't take time to savor the moments. I have read all the blogs since the bed and breakfast entry. Loved the face paint for Gavin and Jolie and the caricature which captured Tristan and Basketball,his favorite sport. The costumes were great. Jolie could have won a beauty contest in hers. We are very proud of these talented,handsome and beautiful kids. Hope they behaved themselves this week and didn't cause their parents too much strife. Now I have to try and recollect how to get this comment to register. Love to each of you. Good job Parents! Grandma Susan
