The Simpsons Hit Orlando

It was a long Friday morning as the kids and I shuffled around the house finishing last minute chores, taking off the trash, picking up and then the long wait for Daddy to get home so we could leave on vacation. We finally get loaded up and head out only to get stuck in the holiday traffic in Atlanta, luckily our trusty GPS, Guapo, got us through okay. After a relaxing stop for some dinner at Cracker Barrel we reached our halfway stop at Tifton, GA. The five of us in one room for sleeping was...interesting. Isaac and Abigail refused to share their double bed so Isaac slept on the floor.  They didn't have the pack-n-play we had requested so Indiana had a blanket on the floor on which to sleep. She unfortunately napped the whole last hour so arrived refreshed and ready to play. I would put her down she would sit up. I would put her down she would pull up on the bed and then fall. I would put her down she'd decide to go exploring...until after 11 when she finally conked out.
Saturday at 2 we finally made it to our room at the Bonnet Creek Resort. It has been awesome. With 5 pools, two lazy rivers, a splash pad and a lot of hot tubs, the kids have been getting their fill of water fun. One thing I don't get though are the multiple hot tubs. It is 90+ degrees outside and the hot tubs are packed...during the day! Even the regular pools aren't too refreshing since they are so warm. 
We also have been enjoying the planned activities the resort offers daily. Isaac is a big fan of the daily ice cream social, and yesterday we won the family scavenger hunt and were rewarded with a free pizza. Yes, there is a theme here, we like food. And last night Jake rocked it for us at the karaoke party poolside. See videos below. So far we're having a blast. More to report in the next couple of days I'm sure.

Jake singing Three Dog Night's Never Been to Spain with Indiana backup:-P And Abigail running up to congratulate him at the end.
