Disney World

One of the highlights of our trip was going to "Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween Party" at Disneyworld on Halloween night. It was awesome! Everyone in the park was dressed up. We got to ride all of the rides we wanted to with very little waiting. The kids got to trick or treat at different stations throughout the park. There was a great "villain-themed" fireworks show and parade. The kids also got to dance with some of the characters at a dance party. It is definitely a Halloween we will remember. 

Fishing

The guys went deep sea fishing one day. They had a really good time. The girls went shopping and to the spa that day. (I like being a girl!)

Universal Studios

We went to Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios while we were in Florida. It was hot! We tried to enjoy every second because we are well aware of the winter that Erie had in store for us. 

Some of our best friends met us in Florida and vacationed with us. It was so much fun to hang out with them again. 

One fun thing we did was go to "Halloween Horror Nights" at Universal Studios. Just the adults went. They had 8 haunted houses and they were VERY scary. They also had "scare zones" where you would walk down certain streets and people would come after you with chainsaws or Aliens would chase you down. I never knew whether to laugh or cry and Dan said I did damage to the skin on his arm from grabbing on to him so much. 

Florida

We went on a family vacation to Florida at the end of October. We stayed in a really nice vacation home with a pool. The kids loved it of course. There were these little tiny lizards running around and my kids harassed the poor lizards the whole time. There was also a pond behind the house that had an actual alligator in it.
