Sunday in Orlando

Kelly Clarkson wore us out. We had the best of intentions for our Sunday, but we ended up sleeping in until 11:00. We missed church. Heck, we missed breakfast! We dressed up anyway and drove to the beautiful Orlando Temple. It was windy as we walked the grounds, so we snapped some awkward family photos.
We weren't even TRYING to look this bad. It just happened.

This is somewhat better, but what's up with my head?

Mental note: don't let Emma take the pictures. Her height limitations make for bad camera angles.

That afternoon we explored all the amenities our time share offered. We played the Sheraton’s version of Amazing Race which took us all over the resort. It took us a couple of hours to complete, but it was a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon together. When we finally finished, we were awarded with this very special certificate signed by the guy that passes out ping pong paddles and pool cues. He seemed surprised that someone actually finished the game.

Ricky caught a snake, but only Emma would touch it.

It was soooo windy that afternoon, that Emma almost blew away.

Our kids really have lovely smiles...

Oh dear, Emma! Are you sick?

This is my best Magnum pose. Or was it Blue Steel?

After a highly nutritious dinner of DiGiorno’s pizza, we spent some time soaking our cares away in the hot tub. Then, the kids lounged around watching real TV with real channels and Rick and I remembered why we don’t have anything but Netflix at our house. It was a leisurely day, but it was the perfect way to get ready for the busy week of park hopping ahead.

Sounds like a party. It's tough to figure out Sunday activities when you're on vacation. Good job! Loved the awkward family photos.
