Orlando! Liz and I set off for Orlando! We were going to meet up with friends to attend Night of Joy held at the Magic Kingdom at Disney World. She had never been to Animal Kingdom, so we started off by going there. We had a wonderful time, although it was very hot! We started off on the African Safari and while there saw a skywriter .... with the words "Love U Jesus"! How cool was that??? We enjoyed seeing the animals and we even got pictures of and with the Disney Characters. Of course, several were sent to Ava! We stayed at Pop Century a Disney Resort and prepared to go out to dinner at the House of Blues (which was Yummy), and we attended the preformance at Cirque du soliel....absolutely fantastic! Would go again! There was so much going on, it was a circus! The best part was using Disney transportation so we didn't have to worry about parking or getting lost! We slept well and ate breakfast in the morning, shopped and headed out to the house that Leslie had rented for the weekend. We rested and went in the pool and then headed out to the Magic Kingdom to participate in Night of Joy. It has been ages since any of us have been to Disney, so it was like being a kid again. The place was decorated for Fall with pumpkins, etc. We went on several rides, the adventurers that we are and when we went to the Haunted House, we stood in line with rain, lightning and thunder!!! Then we got pretty close to Third Day. The music was fantastic, I was busy snapping pictures and the next thing I know Mary is sitting on the curb, and said that she was not feeling well, so we got her out of there and onto a park bench, where she passed out cold!!!! It was rather exciting!! So we got her taken care of and she got wheeled over to the First Aid center. She felt better and then we just wheeled her around and enjoyed listening to Mercy Me. We ended up leaving very late and went back to the house for sleep!!! We set off Sunday morning to the Cracker Barrel for a wonderful breakfast and then we headed on home down US 21.....
