After Joe and Kelly went home on the Monday. My good friends Leanne and Ian arrived on Thursday, Leanne had never been to America and never experienced Disney so i was determined to convert her. hehe. They rented a villa for 10days and let Chris and I stay there which was so lovely. Getting up in the morning and going for a swim before work. You can see the boys did there man thing and were in charge of the bbq!!! Chris and Ian raved about Gatorland was one morning we got up at stupid O'clock and headed to Gatorland we were the first ones in the car park and had to wait outside for it to open!!! While ago the main entrance was burnt down but the big mouth was left.

I was very impressed we feed the croco's and saw them jump to eat the chickens. Even had a train ride. We tried croco ribs and nuggets!!!!!!!!!!
I even sat on a croco!!!!!!! was a bit nervous!!!


Leanne and Ian come to visit........................

Chris and I manged to get three days off, on the first we headed down to Clearwater which I love. The boys wanted to go sea fishing but cos we had a bit of storm recently the water was to rough so we decided to check in to a lovely hotel on the beach and lazied around drinking for the afternoon while soaking up the sun, boy did we soak up the sun!!!!!!!!! bit red!!!!


I love the sunset at Clearwater so beauitful. The next morning we headed back to Orlando and went to Mall at Mallenia to do some serious shopping. We spent soooo much but we got sooo much as well. Loved that everything is sooo cheap. Leanne and Ian brought this brilliant glass container with a tap, ideal for Pimms. OOOO i cant wait to try it out. Chris brought a BBQ book, boys and they toys!!! We even found a store that did all sorts of bbq sauces the boys were in their element!!! Leanne and I had fun in MAC!!


After the Mall we went to Pro Bass World the true America. It is soooo huge and you can can anything to do with hunting, fishing, camping, bbqs. It is amazing!!!!!!! Even had a go an shotting!!!

In the evening took Leanne and Ian to the Melting Pot to experience to the moutain of food that you eat. It was nice to dress up and get ready slowly.

Our last day was a DAY of Disney, We went Magic Kingdom to show Leanne were it all started. We rode the monarail in the very front. I think, we did a couple of rides and watched the show in front of the castle. Which gave us all a warm and fuzzy feeling.

From Magic Kingdom we headed to Epcot to Drink Around the World. We started in Canada, then it was on to UK, where i could finally have a Pimms (7months). We had two drinks in the UK so by the time we went to France we all felt a little merry!!! hehe. We had a drink in every country, even Sakey in Japan. Leanne and I had pear earring made in Japan, were we picked the osters. They are really pretty.

We were all pretty merry by time we got to Mexico. We decided to go to the UK and get dinner there to watch the fireworks as they are the best view.
They are amazing Leanne loved them.


We finished off the evening messing around on the strollers and in the mech shops. It was brilliant day and i think i converted Leanne on Disney. hehe
