Florida Day 1: Beach and Epcot!

A couple weeks ago we went on vacation to Florida! We were gone for 10 days so I'll have lots of posts and pictures that I will post eventually. We arrived in Orlando late Friday night and headed to Cocoa Beach for the night. The kids did great on the plane. Kempton and Dan slept and even though we had an 8:20 flight Cohen did NOT fall asleep. He did really good though.

I should have taken a picture of us with all of our luggage because we must look like a mess! Although, traveling through the airport isn't so bad after we check our bags but before that it's a little hectic. 3 suitcases, 2 car seats, 2 kids, 2 backpacks, a diaper bag and a double stroller. Haha. We actually get the hang of it once we figure out who takes what and how. Anway, when we landed in Orlando we had someone help out a little...

He pushed it all the way from baggage claim to the car rental counter and then outside to the pick up our rental car. What a trooper! He insisted on helping and was then obsessed with pushing his luggage for the rest of the trip!

Saturday morning we hung out for a little bit, went to our favorite coffee shop and then headed to the beach!

 

 The boys playing in the morning

 Mail trucks! Cohen LOVED it, of course. :)

 Cohen discovered Tikis while in Florida

 Our breakfast. 1 bagel with cream cheese, coconut, and pineapple and the other with cream cheese, spinach, tomatoes and avocado. Both were delicious!

 And on our way to the beach...apparently he is still thinking about it!

I think this is Kempton and me!

Kempton enjoyed standing and sitting on the edge of the water!

Cohen just loved RUNNING everywhere!

As you can see...

 

Love his reflection in this one

And LOVE this one!

Looks like we rented out the beach, huh?

After the beach, we had lunch at the Sandbar so Dan could get the fish taco's that he's obsessed with. Then it was off to the house we rented in Orlando to meet up with Jeff, Mandy, Hannah and Tyson!

Cohen's already acting like a teenager! ;)

Cohen was so excited to see Tyson and Hannah! After a quick visit and unpacking our stuff, we we went to Epcot for the night while they went to Magic Kingdom! We decided to go to Epcot because it was the last day of the Flower and Garden Festival and we wanted to check it out.

So I took a lot of pictures, but there were a lot that I didn't take, because we just had the Disney photopass photographers take them for us. We had pre-purchased the photpass CD so we knew that we would get all the pictures on a CD anyway. That night we took pictures with Princess Aurora, Tigger and Pooh, and Mickey, Minnie and Pluto. I'll share them once we get them all!
