having fun with grandma & grandpa in the ginormous bathtub at the condo

Our last day at Disney we spent at Blizzard Beach. We only have these two pictures to prove it. We spent the whole time in the water from open to close....we had a BLAST!! John went on Summit Plummit (a 12 storey drop reaching 60 mph)! The family favourite was Teamboat Springs. It was a big raft that we could all ride and go down for a twisty turny ride that splashed us when it was not expected. When we were tired of the stairs we could take the chair lift up to the top just like a ski resort. There were so many slides and things to do that the day flew by!
