The Orlando Ten

My feet are killing me, my back is sore, I just got into bed and I don't want to get up.

That is probably how every adult my age or older feels right about now after spending the last two days at Disney world, clocking in at 25,000 steps (more than 10 miles) and being WAY out of shape for this.

But you know what?

I had the easy job. My daughter and her husband hauled around a three year old and a one year old who are both adorable and are both at 130% of their growth charts (meaning they are BIG).

The second day was spent at the Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM). Toy Story, Tower of Terror, Star Wars and more fun stuff.

Shoot'em ups ... I managed to injure lots of those little Minions or something.

Exhaustion! Nate started to fade early (playing opossum).

Cole wanted to be airlifted .... OFTEN

That would be me.

More coasters. I think this was Splash Mountain. I missed that one too. I think I had to do Mickey's Red Carpet or something.

Bedtime!

Here’s a little country tune I wrote just yesterday to commemorate a dark day in my history. I don’t have a tune but realized you can use an...
