We were enjoying a random Friday, Christmas eve eve. Steve was off work for the week. We went to breakfast at Keke's and then went to a playground to play. We had the whole day ahead of us with no plans. The weather was perfect. Steve got on his phone and was on the phone for a long time. He got off the phone and then announced....we were checking in at Fort Wilderness in a couple of hours. Time to go home and pack!
Fort Wilderness is all about camping. Campers galore. But, they also have these quaint little cabins. They even had cute bunk beds.
Fort Wilderness has so many awesome activities....many of which are free for us because Steve is a pretty big deal.
The kids got to ride ponies. Olivia rode on Blaze and Will on Bandit
We rented mouse boats. Steve and Olivia rode on one and me and Will on the other
We went to the playground and into the gift shop where the kids played a little.
We were able to get reservations at Trail's End
We went to the Chip n Dale sing-a-long. Olivia still wants nothing to do with characters.
We went swimming. Swimming!!! It was that nice out!
The evening ended with Will's favorite, the water parade
What a great day!
But the next day, we had more adventures in store
We went bike riding as a family. This was so much fun! And such a big deal for Mr. Will who had never rode his bike anywhere except for our neighborhood
I want to go back every year. The campers go ALL OUT with their Christmas decorations. It is so much fun just to ride around and look at all of the campsites.
I love being spontaneous and making memories. We will remember this forever!!! Now, on to Christmas Eve activities.
