My Disney Vacation ..

we did other fun things besides going to the parks. . . .

for instance, after we'd spend all day at the park, gordon and i would head down for adult time at the pool. we were fortunate because according to the posted sign, the pool closed at midnight. however, according to the concierge, the pool was open 24 hours as long as you "don't cause a ruckus".

gordon and i cause a ruckus?



never.



guess who else snuck out one night to enjoy adult swim?



gotcha!




we had fun while eating ...

our waitress was very good at one restaurant. gordon wanted water so she more than obliged.

look at him go!



still going ...



gone!

what a man :)



gabby looking fierce at the table.



we had fun with the camera at the Maya Grill





we had breakfast with a chipmunk



we even had fun while waiting to eat. bryce and braedon are showing me the houses they built for us all. i will say while my house was not the biggest one, it was better than gordon's, he got that tiny little thing in the bottom right hand corner.



we even had fun in the hallways!

our room was being cleaned and bryce and bretton had some energy brewing which was looking like it was going to turn ugly, so nicole just said "go at it"

may i present to you, KID FIGHTS:





braedon wanted to get in with the big boys, but we made him wait for his turn with makenna.



and believe me, when nicole called him to his corner, he was more than ready



that's him doing keanu ala "the matrix"

unfortunately, makenna pretty much dominated the round.





then, they all called out gordon.

yeah, he was ready too.



at first gordon was holding his own.







then we had a brief intermission:



yes, bretton was showing us some of his best dance moves.

then it was back to the action.

the break must have pumped the kids up because ...



they started to seriously put the hurt on gordon. notice nicole in the background taking pictures. no concern there.

i even tried to jump in and help gordon. i took it easy and chose braedon.



the fighting then turned into acrobatics. gordon started spinning the kids.






and that concludes fun in the hallway.

we had fun at the lodge.

bryce and bretton got charactures done:



this is gabby waiting for her brothers pictures to be done.



and gordon and i had fun at pleasure island. we went twice.



gordon showing me how to do the scottish shuffle.



he has moves that i've never seen before!



oh trust me, it gets better.



one night while we were down there, we found this irish pub ..



we were lucky. U2 was performing!



ok, so it was a U2 tribute band but i swear if you squinted and listened only halfway it was as if bono and the edge were right in front of us.

gordon even made some new american friends downtown.



i swear that boy will talk to ANYONE.
those are lego people.

we all had a great time. gordon left at the crack of dawn on the last day so the greene's and i went to eat at macaroni grill (YUM!) before they took me to the airport.

so nicole and i took one last photo



we look tired. awesome, but tired.

i'm already resting up for Disney 2010!
