Today was the last day of our trip. It was fun, but we were ready to go home.
We slept in at the hotel, packed up, and then went out for lunch. After lunch, we went to Burlington Coat Factory where I got a dress and a jumpsuit. Then, we drove to Grand Forks.
In Grand Forks, we were going to shop at the mall and then go out for supper, but we were pretty tired after only a little bit of shopping (I got three new pairs of shoes for really cheap) so we decided to pick up subs and just drive home.
In the evening, we unpacked and then went to Grandma and Grandpa Reimer’s for night snack (Auntie Deena and the boys were there too).
Overall, it was an amazing trip, and I hope I get to go back in two years time again!
Breakfast: none
Lunch: Chili’s (in Fargo) - mini hamburgers, fries, chips, coke
Supper: Jimmy John’s (at home) - Slim 5, water

Orlando, Florida (2018): Day Eighteen
Today was a travel day. We woke up at 6 AM to fly to Minneapolis (about a 3 hour flight). The plane had a “problem with the toilet” so we were delayed about an hour, which wasn’t ideal because I had already taken my gravol (you’re supposed to take it an hour ahead of time) so I had to struggle to keep myself awake until I got the plane (my family said it looked really funny). Needless to say, I fell asleep before the safety presentation even started.
Once we landed, we got our luggage and took the hotel shuttle back to where we had our van parked. We drove to Pizza Ranch for lunch and then headed out for the 3 hour drive to Fargo. Once we got there, we checked into our hotel, got changed, and then went out for supper.
After supper, we came back to the hotel to relax for the evening. Around 10 PM, me, Dad and the rest of the kids went to get McFlurries from McDonalds.
I’m sad to go home tomorrow, but I’m glad we can “ease our way” back into going home.
Breakfast: At the house, then at the airport - banana, then chocolate chip banana muffin
Lunch: Pizza Ranch (Minneapolis) - pizza, dessert pizza, root beer, root beer float, fries
Supper: Longhorn’s Steakhouse (Fargo) - steak, fries, caesar salad, pepsi, bread

Orlando, Florida (2018): Day Seventeen
Today was our last day in Florida. It was a little sad, especially bwcaUe I don’t know what I’m doing in two years from now, but we still enjoyed our last day.
In the morning, we went to Epcot. We rode Soarin’, Test Track (single rider line - the family with me and Jacob let us sit together!), Space Ship Earth and Living with the Land. We also walked halfway through the World Showcase, and watched the Voices of Liberty (a different group of singers with a different set of songs (different from last time)) which was really amazing!
In the afternoon, we relaxed by the pool and swam. Sophia, Jacob and I came close to breaking our record for Keep it Up bud couldn’t quite do it.
In the evening, we went out for supper and then came back to the house to pack up. I always get worried that we won’t have enough room in our suitcases, or that I’ll forget something, but so far so good.
We still have a travel day tomorrow and then a night in Fargo, so we aren’t quite finished yet!
Breakfast: At the house - toast with jam, orange juice
Lunch: Jimmy John’s (at the house) - Slim 5, chips, diet pepsi, oranges
Supper: Cracker Barrel - pancakes, sausage links, eggs, chocolate milk

Orlando, Florida (2018): Day Sixteen
Today Dad and Olivia went to Universal for Olivia’s birthday present to see the Harry Potter world. While they were there, me, Mom, Sophia and Jacob slept in, and then walked just under an hour to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. It was really hot and we felt really sweaty and gross when we got there, but it also felt really good when we were done. Dad and Olivia ate there as well, and then drove us all back to the house.
In the afternoon, we relaxed by the pool and swam. Sophia and I broke the Kerp It Up record - 208!!
In the evening, we went out for supper and then went to the Outlets. I got two new sweaters, a flannel, a pair of jean shorts and a pair of jeans. My favourite (and only) Sunday shoes are on their last threads so we looked for new shoes but couldn’t find any good ones. I might leave the shoes here when we go home because they’re just too broken.
Breakfast: At the house - banana
Lunch: Chick-Fil-A - chicken burger, fries, pepsi
Supper: Macaroni Grill - pepperoni pizza, pasta, coke, fries, bread

Orlando, Florida (2018): Day Fourteen
It was a sad goodbye last night to Auntie Deena; Dad drove her to the airport early this morning. I really loved having her with us, and I hope she can come again sometime.
Today was a relaxing “day off”. The rest of us (other than Dad) slept in, and then when Dad got back we went mini golfing at the Winter Land gemini golf course at Blizzard Beach. I played really well, which was resllt surprising! I got mostly 2s and 3s (strokes) but had one “normal” hole where I got 10 strokes but maxed out at 8. In the end, I lost by one point to Dad and Sophia! I was resllt proud of myself! I even got four hole-in-ones! I could tell my “luck” bothered Dad and Sophia because I played better than them for most of the game.
In the afternoon, we sat by the pool, even though it was a bit chilly and rainy outside. Also, Dad messed up our lunch orders and got me a sub with tuna in it. Mom let me have hers but I think we will be having Jimmy John’s again soon for her.
In the evening, we went for supper and then shopped at the outlets.
Breakfast: At the house - oatmeal, leftover bun from Texas Roadhouse
Lunch: Jimmy John’s (at the house) - Slim 5, chips, root beer (Jacob’s birthday gift to me)
Supper: Carrabba’s - pasta with butter and cheese, bread, root beer, caesar salad

Orlando, Florida (2018): Day Thirteen
Today was my 17th birthday!!
Dad gave me a “special glass” (a wine glass) for my orange juice this morning, and Auntie Deena played “Dancing Queen” as I walked into the kitchen. Also, my sunburn hurt a lot less today, though it still hurt.
We went to Hollywood Studios today, and rode Tower of Terror twice in a row, followed by Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster. We also walked around the park a bit. I got a birthday pin and Auntir Deena got a “first visiter” pin. Dad also bought me a Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal for my birthday, which was followed by Sophia and Olivia getting their own (Tigger and Piglet) for their “birthdays”.
In the afternoon, we lay by the pool and relaxed. Me, Sophia, Olivia, Jacob and Auntie Deena stayed in the pool for most of the afternoon (it felt good on the sunburns). I received a lot of loving birthday messages today which was really nice!
In the evening, we went out for supper, and then to Target. We were only planning on getting Aloe lotion and Benadryl spray (for the sunburns), but me, Auntie Deena and Mom ended up shopping for some clothes too! I got a really nice dress and a pair of Mickey PJ pants.
Overall, this was a resllt great day, and a resllt great birthday! The only downer was that this was Auntie Deena’s last day. But we had a great time with her here!
Breakfast: At the house - toast with jam, orange juice
Lunch: Chick-fil-A - chicken burger, fries (just for me, because my birthday), root beer
Supper: Texas Roadhouse - steak (I got a nicer one, because my birthday), coke, fries, buns, rice
