FLORIDA

I have so many great pictures from our trip to Florida and I don't really even know where to start. I guess I will start with the super fun Nickelodeon Hotel and all the fun characters we got to see. The hotel had a great little "mall" area with food and stores and the arcade. This was the best place to see the toons. They had a schedule so you could tell who would be out when. Brooks of course LOVED this! He was a little confused because we have had conversations about cartoon characters not being alive, but drawn, so he did have a little trouble processing the giant costumes.Ty did not love the character part! He finally got next to Sponge Bob because dad did not give the option! Cooper would have NO part of this! Mimi tried to help him see Dora--he was not having it!

Brooks was very happy to see and hug Dora

One of the mornings we signed up for the character breakfast. It was a buffet and the characters just stroll around while you eat. This was fine with Brooks, but his brothers did not get much breakfast that morning for worrying about who was where.
I love this picture, the character in the back is Pablo from the Backyardagains. He was not even in our range and you can tell by Ty's expression he is too close!

More Sponge Bob

Brooks and Patrick

Who doesn't love Patrick?!?!?!

I don't know why Brooks was not smiling-- he looks really tired

Here Dora was a little close for Ty--he just wanted to eat in peace.

This was right before Ty busted his head. This will forever be his last picture without that cut and scar.
