rlando was not as sunny as we expected, but we did manage to find some pretty cool places to hang out. Our first family stop was Reptile World Serpentarium. I would suggest this location to anyone! Our family was able to go for under $40 and that was with leaving a tip from the show and buying waters and souvenirs.
Eve's favorite part was was the
turtles, she could sit and watch them all day. Both kids fed the turtles. They had both turtles and tortoises. She liked seeing them swim and eat. She would even take time to talk about them with her baby. The baby went with her everywhere!
After looking around at all the different snakes, lizards, and turtles; we enjoyed watching them milk the snakes for venom. We happened to see a big milking with 5 different snakes, two of each species. After that presentation was over everyone in the family got to hold a king snake. It was beautiful, even Eve inched her hand over to feel him!
That same day we also explored Wonderworks. The one in
Orlando was average. We went because we enjoyed the one in Pigeon Forge ALOT! If you haven't been it is a hands on science museum with an entertainment twist. Wayne, Morvin, and Eve experienced what it would be like to be eating in a diner 
with a 5.7 (on the Richter Scale) Earthquake. Neither of the kids enjoyed it. Dad and Eve also enjoyed the bubble area where they could make big bubbles. It was after Eve's bed time, so she was very tired on this part of our trip!
On Saturday, Wayne and I started the day with a little bit of Math school work on the hotel patio. We found a giant caterpillar that seemed to quickly become our work mascot. When we finished we left for a picnic and a visit to Orlando Science
Center. This is a giant 4 story hands on science museum with anything from digging for dinosaurs to picking oranges, and lots in between. Our favorite part was the "Digging for Dinosaurs" exhibit. It took Eve a few minutes to over come how big they were and related the 
dinosaurs to the one's she has seen on her favorite television show, Dinosaur Train. Eve and Wayne both enjoyed pretending to be paleontologists and digging for dino bones. They also got to experiment with magnets, volcanoes, earthquakes, tornadoes, waves, sound, electricity, vehicles, a grocery store, balancing, and water canal.
Today, Eve and I have had a fairly relaxing day as we walked to get her some Orlando suvenirs and then repacked. The boys went back to Wonderworks to do the rope climbing and 4 D theater. Eve made sure that she could find all the proper hiding
places in the room for a toddler then enjoyed her vegetarian lunch (her choice) of avocado, fruit and cheese. She is our avocado princess. Overall, we have had a very busy and fun 3 days. We still have the Blue Man Group to see tonight and a safe departure from the airport tomorrow to our next destination. I would say our Family Adventure has gotten off on the right foot!
