Too Tired to move much

We decided to do NOTHING today. We had some plans but feet hurt, everyone was tired, Mr Gator had to pop in to work. Barry came out of the water and lay on the bank.

He is over the other side.

Mrs Gator and I sat and did some jigsaw.

The Boys played on the Wii.

Huffle caught up with news on the IPad and Skyped Grandma and Grandad and checked our flight which was delayed by about an hour.

At lunchtime Huffle, Small, Smallest and I went for a quick trip to the Drive Through Mall. This time it was really busy. There was a market on and we all got try some different, freshly cooked food. Then topped it off with an ice cream (well it was hot!).

We went back, packed, swapped photos, checked the status of our flight and found it had been delayed some more.

We decided to drive to the Mall next to the airport to take the Disney Watch back and let theBoys choose something nice to remind them of their trip.

We found the mall, parked up, ran through the shops, found Disney. They don't accept returns from Disney world so Smallest has a lovely huge watch to remind him. We said once we were home we would either find a shop there or look online and they could buy whatever they liked.

We ran back to the car and got to the airport to find it had been delayed even more. Oh well at least we weren't late. However, we were late to ge the car back and SHOULD have paid for an extra day but we think we got away with it.

We checked in. Our seats were all separate from each other which I was a little concerned about as I didn't really want to boys sitting with strangers. The man at the desk was very very nice and said he would do what he could.

Smallest put his rucksack down (with his precious 'Smelly Elephant' in it) and someone picked it up and handed it in. There was panic for a while when we couldn't find it as we were about to board.

The man got us a row of four seats together which was really good news.

The flight was the worst flight I have ever been on. I think we flew through storms. It was sooooo bumpy and lumpy. I tried to blog on the plane but it made me feel sick so I had to stop. It was hard to sleep because we were bumping all over the place. They wouldn't serve hot drinks because it was so bad. However, Smallest slept all the way.

We survived the flight without spilling anything or being sick or waking Smallest. I think the wind was in the right direction becuase it was fairly quick.

We got to customs and the security lady asked Small whether he had had a good time and where did we go. he told her Disney and she asked him if we bought any souvenirs. Huffle said no and Small also said no. SNEAKY, fancy asking the kids - she knows they won't be able to lie so well. She asked if we had been given anything. We said No, we definitely DID NOT have any chocolate in our bags from the UK!

We collected our bags, found and paid for our car. Drove home. It was cold. A bit of a shock. The boys fell asleep instantly in the car. We wrapped them in hats, scarves and blankets.

we finally got home about 3am. Very tired. We left the luggage in the car and just went to bed.
