Gaylord Palms

August 11th - 15th was spent at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, Florida. I posted tons of pics, so I'll leave the narration to a minimum. Hope you enjoy the pics as much as we enjoyed our trip.


Front View of the resort: Isn't she a beauty.

Avery, barely awake from the car ride, stands by daddy for a pic.

Now it's mommy's turn...."Avery, pretend to smile and act awake."

Checked in, now lets scope out the place.

He had so much to look at and observe. Where to start?

Koi ponds all over the lobby.

Mac-n-cheese anyone?

"Ice-key-cone" after dinner was a must. (ice cream cone)

Bright and early the next morning. Ready for the pool. Avery looks out the balcony to see if anyone else is awake and ready for the pool at 7:30 a.m.

After dragging mommy out of bed and daddy finished his coffee, off to the pool we were.

But, a quick stop at a koi pond first.

Notice there is NOONE in the pool yet....need I mention again how early it was?

And this right here became Avery's highlight of the trip. A water slide that looked like a giant octopus and his tongue was the slide.

Daddy and Avery pause for a quick pic.

A view of the pool from the octopus.

Water fountain area for the kiddos to play in.

Time for lunch. Some nachos and lemonade, poolside? Sure!!!

"I'll be playin. Holla when lunch gets here."

"Winnen Jay" What better to drink on a hot day. (Lemonade)

Good morning, again. Anyone awake on this beautiful day at 8:00 a.m?

We watched the baby alligator feeding. Yes, there are live, baby alligators inside the resort.

And.....back in the pool again.

Goin' down the slide.................ALONE!!!

"Mommy, wow, I'm a big kid now."
"Anyone watchin me up here?"

"Im ONE happy camper right now."

Notice the little blue hat on top of the water? Avery has just come down the slide again. He went completely underwater and didn't mind A BIT!!!

Oh, what a coincidence!!! Another "ice-key-cone" Who got spoiled this week?

We went from Orlando to Key West for the day. Haha. No, we didn't. Different areas of the resort represented different areas of Florida. This section was called "Key West" Im sure everyone has seen this scene before. This ain't the real one, though!!!

"Touchin' the fishie"

"Whew, after a long day and a long week, I'm gonna color a picture and call it a night!!!"
