Grandma Cindy and Grandpa George took Keira for the day while Mark, Cayden, Carson and I went to Cocoa Beach! Keira couldn't pass up the opportunity to take an airboat tour and look for alligators, bald eagles and other native wildlife!

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Harry Potter World had just opened a few months before our visit and it was packed full of Potter fans!

Hogwarts Express!

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride in Hogwarts Castle! This ride was awesome and brought to life the characters and stories of Harry Potter! I've never seen anything like it. Amazing! The kids got to ride this a few times.

Hogwarts Castle!

We rode this ride over and over and got soaked!

Hold on Grandpa George!

Water fun!

Keira soaked herself and loved every minute of doing it!

The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man 3D ride!

Keira on the Caro-Seuss-el in Seuss Landing! Seuss Landing is such a cute area for kids!

The Incredible Hulk Roller Coaster! This ride was CRAZY!

Got butterbeer?

We couldn't get enough of this sweet and creamy soda in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! The pumpkin juice was yummy too! You should of seen the lines to buy this stuff!

Drinking our butterbeer waiting to get into Ollivanders wand shop!

Ollivanders Wand Shop at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! We had to wait in an hour line to experience "the wand choosing us" just like Harry's wand chose him in the film.

The store is filled with wand boxes from floor to ceiling and decorated with colors and details from the books and films. It was pretty cool!

A Wandkeeper asked Cayden a series of questions which allowed him to be chosen by a wand.

Cayden's new wand!

Mark and Cayden with their new Harry Potter wands!
