Today we all went over to Disney's Animal Kingdom park. I loved how much it
was like a jungle! RB and his dad got fast passes to the Mount everest roller coaster ride. We all went on the Kali rapids ride. That was a very short ride, but it was still fun. I got really
soaked and my jeans basically stayed wet for like four hours. It made me kind
of cold at times. We then wandered over to the safari exbition. That was amazing. There were so many animals I got to see and so many pictures I got! Next RBs dad and RB went on the Mount everest roller coaster. RBs dad didnt get motion sick this time, but after that ride we went to over to dinoland and went on the ride called "dinosoar" and that made him pretty motion sick. I went on the same ride, but I was fine for that ride. I really think if I would have gone on mount everest and then dinosaur I would have been really sick feeling too. The dinosour ride is like indiana jones ride. It is very crazy bumpy! It is mostly in the dark, which I didn't like. You seriously
couldn't see a whole lot.
We then took the train over to the conservation center. Over there was the animal hospital and like a farm petting zoo. There wasn't any animals in the hospital ( which is a good thing), but there were a whole lot of interesting bugs to look at! The petting place had regualar farm animals, sheep, goats, donkeys, and pigs. There was probably more, but that is all I saw. We took the
train back over to the park and the parade was about to start. It was crazy to try and manuver around all the people, I wanted to stand and watch, but I kept getting ushered on. It was a bit hectic.
I was hungry at this point, Rb and I got some fries and onion rings to hold us off until dinner. We went and got in the auditorium to watch "Finding Nemo the Musical"! It was pretty cute, but it was just basically the movie. It was only about half hour to fourty five minutes and I
had to wear my ear phones because it was so loud. Most people probably dont need ear plugs but ever since I had bells palsy my ear has been really sensitive and I get headaches easy around loud
noise.
After that was over the park was closed and we went over to a burger king and ate dinner. I was to tired to do anything else. So I am sitting here at the hotel room while RB and his dad went and took the bus over to epicot to see the fire work show. I will probably be going to sleep soon, because I am pooped!!

As of right now I am sitting on a bridge in front of splash mountain. I don't like log rides, mostly I don't like big hills they just drop you down. Today we are at magic kingdom! We drove here and parked our car and jumped onto a tram. The team doesn't drop you off at the park entrance, you either take a monorail or a ferry boat over to the park. I wanted to take the ferry! So that's what we did. When we first got into the parkwe went on.the train all the.way around the park, just so I could see what it was like. When we got off that there was a small bussish thing that was gonna take us to the castle, so I hoped on! Yeah it was fun! Here was a show going on at the castle so it stopped a little before it and we for out and watched the rest of the show. We then headed over to tomorrowland and went on the people movie, quite a nice slow ride to give you a good tour of the tommorrow land area. We got a fast pass for Rb for space mountain and then went on a thing( wouldnt call it a ride called stitches great escape. It was interesting.... We then went and waited on a bench while RB went on space mountain. We then ate at cosmos rays. Went onto future land and wacthed a three D movie about mickeys hat gettig lost by Donald duck. Then on its a small world.

Well we finally did make it to Florida last night around 7pm, I was really tired! First class was fun again. We had a nice meal, and I ate some really good salmon! This plane had larger seats then the other one. We arrived got out luggage and picked up our car renal. We were then off to find our hotel. It is a pretty nice hotel! We are staying in a Suite! Two bedrooms! I was so tired that I basically went to sleep.
Today we all actually slept in until noon! We must have been worn out from all of our travels yesterday, because I sure was! So we went over to Hollywood studios today and I got a cut button pin that says "1st visit"! We went and got in line at star tours. Wow, so I went on that ride when I was a kid over in Disneyland, and I didn't get sick then. This ride made me really really motion sick! It was so not fun! Rb and his dad enjoyed it though! I was really glad when it was over! After we got off that ride I am glad it was about time for the Indiana Jones movie production show was about to start and I am also glad it was outside so I could get fresh air. We were half hour early so we sat in the benches and by the time it started my motion sickness was gone. phew!! Watched a little bit of the Jedi training course ( a bunch of kids our trained to be Jedi's and they all get to defeat Darth Vader:).
Muppet 3D Movie was hilarious! It had some good jokes! Next we were just started walking around the park to see what was around. RB's dad saw a line to get your picture taken with mator and lightning McQueen and he wanted to get a picture of him with them for his grandson.
Next we were going to go to the "Honey I shrunk the kids" play park but it was closed by this time :( oh well. We then ventured over to the Hollywood movie ride. It was a fun ride:) You went through scenes from movies and they had some actors in the middle that took over the tram we were on :)
We then waited in line for the "toy story mania" ride. It actually only took us about forty minutes to finally get on the ride even though the line said like an hour and ten minute wait. It was a fun ride! You go around in a little vehicle and shoot a things. RB got the highest score in our car!
The park was closed by the time we got out of that ride and so we went and found our car and drove over to walmart. We had stuff to get, one of the things being a blanket! The blanket they have at the hotel does not let my body get air! So I kept waking up cold and wet! I know not a very pretty sight, but that's what happened! It was frustrating! But now I have a cute Tinkerbell blanket that will hopefully work better for me tonight. We got just stuff to heat up in the microwave at our hotel room for dinner. Whew! That was our first day in Florida. Stay tuned for more, and hopefully more pictures in this post! I am tired and that is why there aren't any pictures.

January 14 2012 8:46 Somewhere over US between SLC and Chicago, illinois
This is me sitting first class!! SO today has already been quite an adventure. I could seriouly not sleep all night long. I had my alarm set for 3:45 am, because our plane was taking off at 6:10 am. RBs dad came and picked us up at 4:15 but we probably didn't get out of the door until 4:25am. we made it safaley to the airport, checked our bags in, went over to securtiy and I got a body scan for the first time in my life. The way they had it set up here was after you stepped out you could actually look back and see your own body scan, basically it was just an outline of your body. If there was anything suspicious if would flag that area of your body. It was very quick and easy!
We continued on to our flight terminal and waited for about 10 minutes. There was some problem with the a fire light flashing on and off and they said it would probably be fixed it about 10 minutes. Well ten minutes passed and the lady came on the intercom and announced that the flight had been canceled, due to technical issues. Ok what do we do now? Luckily since we had first class tickets we got tickets for a flight that was going from SlC to Illinois instead of Dallas Texas, but it was leaving at 7:00 and it was already passed six. We had to rush back down to baggage claim, get our bags, have them retag our bags, and then go through all the security procedures again. Wow we rushed through it pretty fast! But we made it to our flight and we were still able to get first class tickets! Yay!! I was worried that we werent going to be going first class. I was really excited about it!
So yes, I am sitting in first class, was just given a hot towel to wipe my hands or my face with. Then I was asked what kind of food I wanted. I got some yummy yogurt, a fruit bowl, and a muffin with some butter. I got pictures of it, but they are on my phone right now. I will have to transfer them later today.
12:00 pm in chicago illinois airport
Well we have a four hour lay over here in illinois. The tiredness has finally hit. I didn't sleep that much, if any last night. so maybe I will be able to sleep in the airport...
