We were in one of the 50s buildings, which we'd never been in before. Here we are in the room with our "I can't believe we're finally here!" faces.
The bowling pin pool was the closest to our room.
Our stairwells also looked like bowling pins.
We spent most of the day in the pools. It was really humid - you can see how it blurred the picture of Heath by steaming up the camera lens. It rained a number of times on Sunday, but the only time we were caught in it we were already in the pool. Since the rain was a lot colder than the pool water, we just stayed in the pool and played.
This was the giant jukebox near at the head of our pool. Our building is to the right of it, but our room was on the other side.
The kids liked wearing the life vests because they could basically tread water and stay in the deep parts even if we weren't right beside them. 
Quin wouldn't go far from Adam on Sunday, so he spent a lot of time near the pool steps.
Even though the kids liked the big pool, we still had to spend a few minutes in the kiddie pool because they love playing in the fountains.
Lady
and the Tramp
Adam didn't want to unhitch the trailer, so we took the Disney buses into Downtown Disney instead of the van. We wanted to scout out the location of the T-Rex restaurant and also to let the girls pick out the princess dresses they wanted for their birthdays. We took a little time out for some photo ops with the plastic princesses.
Heath picked out a Spy Fly communicator watch based on the G-Force movie. He could hear himself through the headphones on the watch, so he spent a lot of time walking around talking "mission talk" to himself in the evening. Roger that.
Overall, an incredibly relaxing, fun day. A great way to start the vacation.

I've really enjoyed reading about birthdays and parties and vacationing. Thanks for sharing! That's a lot of work! But what a neat way to journal your vacation -- and what a way to capture memories for the kids!
Heath made a neat journal for school, since he missed the week. It's much more interesting than my blog! He wrote a sentence or two each day, drew illustrations, and pasted photos on the pages. It's darling. When we get it back from his teacher, I might scan a few pages in. It's really neat to see it from his perspective. He made my night the other night - he was watching the screen saver on my computer, saw one of the pictures from the trip, and said "Quin's birthday was the best day ever." How often do you hear a kid say that about somebody else's birthday?!! It was an exhasuting week, but well worth it. Again, the kids like the experiences more than a lot of "things."
