Today was a sleep in day.... 7:50am! After cooking some turkey bacon, eggs, and fresh fruit, we got ready and headed out to the Peabody hotel. This is a very swanky, huge and beautiful hotel. I would love just to spend 1 night in this hotel, but it's alittle out of the way to get to the parks. We arrived early to the hotel to get our seats to see the ducks. (It was only $7 to park at their hotel. ) So something really cheap for the kids to do in Florida that will bring tons of smiles to their faces! So sine we were early, we were able to see the duck master pull out the red carpet and also the signs for the ducks in order to get them ready for their march! Promptly at 11:00 on their speaker system is a nice introduction to the 5 ducks that march to the gorgeous fountain as they get fed by the duck master. This was Grandma's thing with Addie so Grandma held Addie and told her what was going on. As soon as Addie saw the ducks, she smiled and started clapping. She was so excited! She LOVED it!!! Thank you Grandma for recommending this. We stayed for a little bit after the ducks were eating, the duck master made his way over to Addie (first I might add) and gave her a sticker! It was so special for her.
We then walked around a bit and made our way back to the car. We decided to go to the City Walk next on the list of places to go. by the time we made our way over there, Addie took a mini nap. (At this point she hadn't gone #2 yet at all on our trip since the morning of our flight and she normally isn't like this at all... I was getting a bit worried as it had been about 54 hours.) We walked around and it was HOT. We decided to cool off at Margarita ville once Addie saw the parrots and after her having a meltdown. We also got our picture taken with the parrots...Jeremy got bit by one on the shoulder and it left a nice bruise on him. During our lunch, Addie finally went #2... I was so relieved. It didn't help the fruit snacks I gave her on the plane ride stopped her up. She wasn't cranky anymore after this point! Mental memory note.... avoid 4 packages of fruit snacks on the way home! So during lunch, Addie and Papa had a huge laugh with the ketchup bottle. Who knew it could be that entertaining by opening and closing a ketchup bottle, but it was! Addie also decided that once she saw daddy's dessert (strawberry shortcake) she made a bee line to his lap and enjoyed it too!
So after margarita ville, we did some shopping and went back to the villa. It was late afternoon and Addie and Grandma took a snooze on Grandma's bed. Another priceless moment.
After nap time, we were in the mood for Chinese, but didn't know of a good Chinese restaurant around the area that we could "trust". So Jeremy said we would go to Epcot for Chinese for dinner one night! So we needed to know what we were doing for dinner though tonight and decided on Giordano's. Yummy!
After dinner we went back to the villa and walked around their mini- golf course that they have. Addie learned how to say the word dinosaur because they were all over the course! She got to see a snake, a frog and lizard on the adventure. On our walk, we had to sit on every rock possible on the course... it was Addie's little thing to do!
When we got back, she was up for a little bit but went to bed at 9:30. It was another breakfast with the characters!!!!
