Spring Break!

The best part about our spring break is that we live where everyone else vacations so we didn't have to pay hundreds to get down here! I managed to squeeze 2 days out of Mike and we took a quick trip to Orlando. Can you even imagine that we were at Blizzard Beach (a water park) one of those days! I know, who would've thought? March, Waterpark! And all you West coast folks know what that means. You must come visit! Believe it or not the sunshine state does have snow makers; the end result is just a little different. So even though I can't be on an Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Canada, oh heck, any ski hill ( BIG tear) I made it to a Florida ski hill. Something you all must experience at least once! We also went to El Heat game. And yes, I am still wondering why we are 'EL' Heat and not 'The' Heat. Mike says we have to appeal to the majority of the population. Ok, true story. We played the Knicks and ended up winning 120 to 115. Fun game! So here are a few pictures from the break!  
I had to get a picture with Beasley because he represents the homeland! Go Kansas! Even though I love Chalmers way more and how can you not love D. Wade? Did you see the game last night? He made the game winning shot in double overtime with like .01 seconds left!
go EL Heat!

We even have our very own chair lift! This is the World's tallest & fastest free-falling waterslide Mike was clocked at 50 mph so I'm sure I went at least 55!
Watch out, this one reaches speeds of 2 mph.
 Coming out of my 55 mph drop!
We went on a "cold" day so there was only a handful of people there. We never waited in line!
Kade crying because he just found out Grandma & Grandpa Steel were at the real ski hill without him!

Spring Break is the best huh? Looks like tons of fun! The difference between Had and Mike's schools...you guys get to go to a waterpark outside for spring break, we go to a waterpark indoors for spring break. Dang, maybs we picked the wrong spot. :)
