Spring Break

Wednesday saw Jordyn break his wrist at school so that necessitated an impromptu sleepover for Aimee here with Lily while Tamsin spent all afternoon and early evening at the hospital. They got home about 9pm with an arm in plaster cast all the way up to his shoulder and lots of painkillers. The girls probably fell asleep round about 8 ish which isn't too bad for a school night.

Saturday saw the start of our spring break adventure.

Tom, Lily and I were going down to Orlando again to join up with Kate and her kids (Ben, Alex & Maddy) and Dorothy with her kids (Paige, Seth & Riley). Our first day trip was to Universal Studios which saw some of us going on such delights as 'Revenge of the Mummy' and 'Jaws'. Everyone enjoyed the 'Men in Black Alien Blast'. I reckon that was my favourite.

The next day we went to Sea World where Lily, Maddy, Paige, Tom & I sat in the scorching sun for half an hour in the 'soak zone' of the Shamu show. Unfortunately for us we were just 2 rows too far back to get soaked by the water. However after an hour in the sun we were all rather disgustingly soaked in sweat. Not sure if you wanted to know that, but there you are.

We had a slightly more relaxed day on Tuesday and went to Wet n Wild water park. This was great fun and not too busy so there wasn't much waiting around for your turn to go down one of the slides and we were able to spread out all our stuff quite happily.

Our last day took us to the Universal Islands of Adventure. We all got completely soaked on the Popeye ride except for Kate who had rather cunningly packed a poncho - smart girl.

Today we came home so we could be here for Nick's birthday tomorrow and have a few days to relax from all our adventures. The others are staying on until Saturday.

In case you are wondering why Nick, Anthony & Neil didn't get to come it's because they were all working this week and don't get their spring break until 30 March.
