Last October, Autumn was granted a “wish”
from Magic Moments. We were able to
spend a never-to-be-forgotten week in Orlando staying at the Give Kids the
World Village, and visiting Disney World and other local attractions.
When we checked out of The Village,
we were given a special pass. For up to
one year, we can get into a long list of parks across the country (one visit at
each park). With the kids in school and
me student teaching, we didn’t get to start visiting any of the parks until
just recently.
Our first stop was DeSoto Caverns.
They have added so many new attractions
since I was last there many years ago.
You can dig for “precious stones.”
You can pan for “gold” (and more of
those “precious stones” – just in case you didn’t find enough of them in the
sand box). J
And there’s SO much more…
The people at DeSoto Caverns were so
great. They gave each of us an armband
(normally $50 each) that let us into all of the attractions for as many times
as we wanted.
About the time we made it to the bubbles,
it started raining, but that didn’t stop us.
We just kept on going. Although I
didn’t get the camera out in the rain, we have a water balloon fight, shot
arrows, battled with “guns” that shot plastic balls, and more. We also toured the cavern earlier in the day –
those pictures just didn’t turn out as well.
(We really need to get a new camera.
Our current one is 7 years old, and it’s not always focusing like it
needs to.)
We had a WONDERFUL time, and we look
forward to visiting some of the other places on our list.
Last Saturday, we headed to Atlanta
to visit the Georgia Aquarium. More on
that next time.
