Sunday (May 17) was our last full day in Orlando. We went to Ihop for breakfast (J & L love this place). We even got a special parking spot there.
This Lydia attempting to perform a trick that Daddy had shown her. Too bad you are not supposed to see the fork. I'd say she's got the body language with her eyes down pat though!
Jake enjoying a mouthful of pancake!
After breakfast, we headed back to the hotel and went swimming.
Gotta love underwater pictures!
Jake and Lydia's first time in a hot tub (which was the same temp as the pool). They loved it, regardless.
We had some beautiful scenery!
After we got cleaned up, we headed over to Downtown Disney, where Lydia and Jake had appointments at the Bippidi Boppidi Boutique. The next few pictures show that experience...
This gal who was fixing Lid's hair was quite grateful when she found out we were planning on donating Lydia's hair after we got back home. Guess the "after" part helped her out a bunch.
Looks happy with the spikes!
Her hair is not as painfully pulled back as tight it looks. They put a gel in her hair to make it appear more like that and to take care of any fly-away hair.
Voila...the finished princess!
The shoes make the outfit, huh? I forgot to pack dress-up shoes...oh, well.
Pirate skeleton with the stylin' Jakester.
Lydia with the Lego people & animals.
We had to take a ferry to get back to our car. Only we weren't sure which place to get off and ended up getting off farther than we were supposed to. While Daddy went ahead to get the car, I took the opportunity to snap some cute shots of the kids.
They really do love each other!
Jake ran ahead to catch up with Daddy so I took a few single shots of Lydia...
The "Noelani Pose" (Lydia's best cousin)!
Close up
We spotted the Mickey ears on our way to Celebration!
I love this picture of Dan and his Lydia. This was taken at dinner, Bahama Breeze. Dan surprised me by taking me there. We had one sort of near us, near Cincy, but it closed.

We hung out there for a couple hours (again, they had a little girl, Dakota, who played with Jake and Lydia, while the adults mingled, so it worked out well).
And here are Jake and Lydia journaling while waiting to board the plane in Orlando the next day. If you are not already doing so, I highly recommend having your kids keep a journal. They were excited to do so, it kept them entertained, and it will be a treat for the kids to read them when they are older.
And that is that! I would like to end this post in shouting out a special thank you to my mom and dad who helped make this trip possible. It was such a wonderful memory!
