Day 3 in Florida we expected to get rain. We also needed a little down time as Mike had come down with the stomach flu during the night. We decided to check out Downtown Disney to get a taste of the area outside of Disney World and do a little shopping. The kids got some spending money from Grandpa and Grandma and it was just burning in their pockets to go and get some souvenirs.Above is a picture of Grandpa and Grandma with all of their grandchildren.

The Theme parks were so very beautifully decorated for Christmas. Christmas music was played everywhere we went.

Later that day Mike needed to rest and the rain was moving in. The kids and myself went swimming in the rain; another advantage of Christmas in Florida. The pool was 78 degrees and the hot tub was probably about 85 degrees so it didn't make a difference at all that we went swimming in the rain.
