Hess Family: A time to remember

Well this trip has been filled with lots of memories... We had a blast and it was nice to get away from reality for a while. As we said the first couple of days were spent by the beach and it was amazing the weather was in or near the 80s the whole time. Then on Sunday after a day at the beach we drove to Orlando. Monday was spent by the pool and then go carting all evening. When we got home we decided to watch a movie. After trying to get the DVD player working for about a half hour we called the front desk. Soon the maintenance guy showed up and WOW if there was a real live person that looked like Mater from the movie Cars this was him. Not only was he "rusty" but had matching teeth and close to the same accent and wit. It was quite entertaining watching him try to figure out that the machine was broke and then bring us back a brand new one. Our noses were very happy he left when he did.

Tuesday Bryant and I got up early to sit through #6 of our timeshare presentations, all for cheap tickets, when we got home we swam, then went shopping at a mall that after 5 years still is missing over half the stores in it, and went to see Pirates.

Wednesday the boys left to go pick up the chute and check from the farm they trimmed at while Megan and I hit the outlets, that was followed my more go carts, Megan and Randy going on the human sling shot and the Arabian Nights. Now the night before at Pirates was really really bad and this year the kids didn't like it at ALL, so we weren't looking forward to another night of whining. We were pleasantly surprised. The loved it and couldn't keep their eyes off the show. Yay us!

Thursday was our last day out on the town, in the morning Bryant and I went to #7 of our timeshare presentations and then we spent the rest of the day a Epcot. It was as fun as it could be having 3 kids without naps but we were expecting that. We went on a couple of rides, talked to Crush for a couple minutes until the kids were board and dinner in Japan. Lets not do that again... Lets just say I'll stay here in the US, the food is much better. :) Sorry the pictures go from the last day there to the first.

One more thing before you start thinking this was a perfect vacation here's how Friday went... We got up early to pack and drive home. The cars were all packed down and ready to go when Randy's truck wouldn't start. The fuel gauge wasn't reading properly and he was out of fuel when it said he had a 1/4 tank. We got fuel, problem fixed. Now we are on the road and need to stop for a potty break and to fill up. Joey decides to get out of the car and shut the door, LOCKING THE KEYS, A SICK AUBREY AND CRYING WYATT inside. Thanks goodness we have AAA, but too bad after being on the phone for forever we decided to call 911 instead. The cop came and after trying to unlock the door and failing said he was going to break the window. You should have seen the look on Bryant's face. What better motivation, we found some screw drivers and used the antenna to unlock. Our short 5 minute break ended up being more like 45 minutes. I think it is time for a spare key...
