Jack: TV Nights

I had fun spending time with my family.  I liked everyone in our family watching Gold Rush on Friday night after the twins went to bed.  I liked watching it because Parker reached 1000 ounces of gold.  I'm glad I have a big a family to play with and never get bored.  I liked watching The Little Mermaid with the family on Saturday night, too.  We had hot chocolate after the Little Girls went to bed.  I got really tired after we watched the movie and drank hot chocolate.  I can't wait until the next time we watch a TV show together.

Mary Christine: Garden Club

We went to Garden Club and got donuts.  We found our seat and decorated our pot with foam stickers.  Then we waited for the next directions.  We got plants and planted them in our pots.  Mom took our picture with our plants as a family.  We went home.

Lizzy: Snow Day!!!

Today William, Patrick, Jack, Mary Christine, Sarah, Anna, Kate, and I played in the snow.  Everybody went sledding in the backyard, then William, Patrick, Jack and I played football, baseball, and soccer.  I had fun playing with my brothers and sisters in the snow.  After a while my hands and feet got really cold.  I went into the house, put on new gloves and socks, then went back outside.  I went on the swing for a little while.  The kids started going inside, so I went inside, too. I had fun in the snow.

Patrick: Disney World

Day 1: We stayed at our condo the first day so we could rest up for the next day. Our condo was awesome and we had decent space for our family. The food we had was good, too.

Day 2: We went to Magic Kingdom and it was a blast. We first went exploring and took our picture in front of the castle. Next, we got our fast passes to go on some rides. We went to Space Mountain first and it was really fun.  Then we went to Big Thunder.  It was not as fun but slower and not as many drops. Our third ride was A Small World for my mom. We stayed really late and went on different rides.

Day 3: We went to Magic Kingdom again and did the same thing except our fast pass was for some other ride mom wanted to do. Again Space Mountain was the best.

Day 4: We went to Animal Kingdom and went on some really fun rides. We went on this one ride called Safari where we went on a really fast bumpy road through water and seeing animals really close to us. Then we went to Mount Everest which was probably the best ride.  On it, we went backwards.  We went on that at least 17 times in a row. Then we went to a dinosaur ride which was really fun, too.

Day 5: We went back to Magic Kingdom and did the usual rides.  Believe it or not Space Mountain was kind of boring.  Even though the day was really fun, it wasn't as fun as the other days.

Day 6: We went to Hollywood Studios which was very fun.  We rode The Rocking Roller Coaster which was very fast and fun and a little terrifying. Then we went to The Movie Ride.  It was fun because our guides were funny. Then we went to The Tower of Terror which was terrifying and very, very scary.  That sums up our vacation.  It was awesome.

Day 7: I went to my game early in the morning and we lost to the Brazilian team. We then waited until noon to play our semi finals game. Even though we lost, we still had the best record in our bracket, therefore allowing us to advance to semifinals and then the championship. I was really looking forward to the game and our team played great. But we had one mistake that cost us the game. We could not finish our shots either. We lost 1 to 0.  The team we lost to, went on to the championship and won 3 to 0. Then we went home for our 16 hour drive.  We arrived at three in the morning.  It was a really great and fun experience.
