Connor working hard pounding the little plastic pegs into his pumpkin.














Caroline sitting next to her finished product.











Caroline helping mommy pound facial features into her "potato head pumpkin".












A clone trooper decided to stop by and scare all of us while we were working on our pumpkins.

Little did he know that while he did grab his helmet on the way out the door...he forgot to change out of his pajamas.







Caroline magically hovering off of the ground.



















Caroline looking at daddy with a nice smile instead of with a pirate face.

Connor and Caroline in their stroller at Magic Kingdom.

This thing was awesome and well worth the rental price and physical strain it put on daddy lugging it into the car, onto the tram, and into the hotel room.












Connor standing on Main Street in front of the castle.


















Caroline standing on Main Street in front of the castle.

Please note that of the 6 pictures I took of her in about 10 seconds...this was the only one where she was looking even remotely in my direction.














Here is mommy's floating head in front of the castle. I was so busy begging her to smile that I got distracted and cut 97% of her body out of the shot.
















A lone shot of the castle as we walked past it.









Daddy, Connor, and a stranger enjoying the end of Splash Mountain.

In the interest of full disclosure, Daddy's shirt was not completely soaked just because of the ride.














Connor and Daddy coming around a bend on Big Thunder Mountain.

Please squint and notice that Connor has his hands up.

He kept them up the entire ride which brought a very real and very big tear to daddy's eye when the ride was over.

Here is little Caroline on the balcony of the hotel before her 6 hour stint at the emergency room.











Using her push pop as a pointer, Caroline is drawing the viewer's attention to a stack of fake cannon balls that are piled up next to a bronze 16-pound cannon that was made in Seville, Spain in 1743.








Connor spotted this cannon from the parking lot and decided then and there that this was the most powerful weapon in the fort's arsenal.

He was not disappointed when he saw how big it was and was informed from daddy that it could hit our hotel over 3 miles away back when it was operational.








Sighting down the barrel of Connor's favorite.












A fountain in downtown St. Augustine.












Connor sitting on a bench at the place where he played his first game of mini golf.

We were waiting for the train to take us back to the fort and Mommy and Caroline.














Connor sitting on the train while we took a tour of downtown St. Augustine.

The history was neat for daddy, the seat and cool breeze was nice for Connor.

This was one of the few times that week that poor, sickly, little Caroline was happy.

Good Morning!

Posted by The Creekridge Clan | | Posted On at 4:51 AM

This is what was coming through our curtains this morning.

Not a bad way of waking up.

The kids are in good spirits and ready to have some fun.

The plans are to visit the fort and downtown this morning and spend the rest of the day at the beach and pool.

Arrival

We pulled in front of the hotel around 2:30 PM.

This is the view of Connor and Caroline's first peek at the ocean from our balcony.

So far it has been over 90 degrees and rained.

Typical Florida weather.
