Drake Family Florida Vacation- Part 5- Pool and Recovery day

Our last full day at the condo was Friday. Nanny and Papa actually checked out of their condo and then came to hang out with us until their flight. And because we had to clean their fridge/freezer out- we discovered we had way too much ice cream to store. So that led to milkshakes for breakfast.
That's ok right? We were on vacation, anything goes. 
This picture of all the grand kids (minus Hazel) drinking milkshakes in the PJ's. So funny! Oh and Max wearing his puddle jumper...cracks me up. 
After milkshakes with Nanny and Papa we had to say goodbye  to them and it was sad. We had so much fun with them in Orlando. 
After saying goodbye, we all headed out to the pirate ship pool. 
This pool was so fun. A complete water-playground pirate ship with slides and cannons. It was so fun. We all played together for a couple hours. 










The kids had so much fun on the slides and sprinklers. I think we could have stayed all day. 







The kids loved spending time with their cousins, aunts & uncles. 













Tucker loved the alligators shooting water cannons and the treasure boxes with sprinklers. 
And Tanner finally had time to really break in his new snorkel and fins. 

After playing in the pool for a few hours, we shuffled 6 very tired cousins back inside and fed them lunch and put them down for naps. They were all so tired after a very full week of fun. 
The adults ordered some Cuban food and then we all took naps too. We are a lazy bunch. 

Then it was time for more pool time. This time we went back to the big pool with the big kid water slide. 
These two crack me up. Bailey is really happy she just looks  a little crazy. 
Love her- she grew up a lot on this trip. 
Bailey even went down the big slide all by herself. We were so proud of her!
It's a pretty big slide so we were so surprised when she decided to try it out. 
Daddy caught her at the bottom and she was pretty proud of herself too!
Then it was back inside for dinner and baths.
The kids wore the Disney pajamas Nanny & Papa got them for Christmas on our last night in Orlando. 

It was such a fantastic trip. I seriously can't get over all the fun we had and well the kids did with all the craziness. 
Saturday morning we got packed up, hugged everyone goodbye and drove back to Pensacola to stay with the Harbers again. They were so sweet to host us. We woke up SUPER early Sunday morning and drove the remaining 11 hours. We made it back to our house by 4 pm and we were all so happy to be home! 

I can't wait to take the kids back to Disney when they are a little older. We can ride more rides and then I also want to take them to Universal Studios and Harry Potter world.
But until them, we will remember the amazing times we had in Orlando.
