Florida 2012

In June we flew to Florida to visit Eric while he was working.
Maddix and Emery both did so well on the flight.
Emery looks sad in this picture but she is actually really excited!
We went to a pool party while we were there.  Maddix and Emery both loved swimming in the pool.
Maddix did so well swimming, and loved using his floatie to swim around.
Emery though she could also swim and would run around from side to side of the pool and jump in!




 We took a couple late night trips to the pool while daddy was working, we loved it!
It rained a lot while we were there and so whenever there was a break in the rain we would head outside and feed the ducks, look for turtles and lizards.

When the weather finally cleared up we decided we would head to Disneyworld!  Maddix and Emery were both so excited!  Maddix couldn't stop talking about going to see Buzz and going on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

What started out to be such a good day turned out to be one of the worst days.  It was so hot and both Maddix and Emery was so sweaty and so hot.  They both kept complaining about it.
After 2 rides Maddix started complaining about not feeling well, I thought it was just due to the heat and he needed to cool down.  So we went and got some water and headed the merry go round.  Once we got there he started saying he was going to throw up.  We started look for a bathroom and he started to throw up everywhere!  All over all the people walking around, in the bushes, all over himself and me!
Right after he threw up he fell right to sleep.  So I still thought it was just due to the heat.  While he slept Emery and I went on 2 more rides.  Once he woke up we started walking towards Buzz.  We didn't get half way there when he started to throw up again.  We quickly went and bought some new shirts and got out of the park as fast as we could.  He couldn't quit throwing up.  He threw up all the way back to the apartment and the rest of the night.
At one point he looked at me and said "Mom, this has been a really bad day."  I felt so bad for him.
That night Emery got sick and was sick the next day as well. 

 After they were both feeling better we tried to go to another Walt Disney park.
We went to Animal Kingdom.  We had fun but it was very hot and none of were feeling up to par.



 We also went to an alligator park.  
Maddix thought it was so cool that he got to sit on and feed the alligators.

That night Eric and I both got the flu as well and spent the next day in bed.  We had to fly home that afternoon and we were all a little glad that this trip was over!
