Spring Break-The Kasel Way

Don and Barb treated us to a trip to Florida over spring break. Such a fun experience! I was extremely worried about Layton on the flight, which was about 5 hours. On the first flight to Denver, Layton threw up ALL over Chris. Poor Chris and poor kiddo. On the plus side, Chris got an awesome "Colorado" shirt as a souvenir. The next flight to Orlando, we knew what to expect and caught Layton's puke in the barf bag.

We got into Orlando late and stayed at a hotel. We spent two days at Disney, visiting Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. Layton did A-MAZ-ING. It was crazy how well he did for not getting an adequate amount of sleep. Actually, he did better than I did. ;) Layton was able to ride on a considerate amount of rides and his favorite was "It's a Small World". He would ohh and ahh and point. It just made the whole trip worth it.

After exploring Disney we traveled to Ocala to visit Chris' grandpa and Fran. It was nice to see them and I even had the chance to read a whole book! (Never happens.) We visited a drag racing museum, Silver Springs Park, and ventured to Daytona beach.

Before heading back to Idaho, we made one last stop to Universal Studios which was probably my favorite out of all the amusement parks.

On the flight back, we were prepared and gave Layton some Dramamine so he slept a majority of the time (and no more puke!)

We stopped at a blueberry patch in Ocala on our way home from the musuem. We were about a week early so some of the berries weren't quite ripe but still delish. Layton ate way more than he contributed to the bucket.

Daytona Beach-Layton was a little curious of it all at first but warmed up quickly when we started making sand castles. This was by far my favorite day. We were just able to relax without worrying about crowds or long lines. :) A fierce storm came through, forcing us to leave early. We didn't even make it back to the car without getting soaked. It was crazy weather!
