Disney Day 5: Rest Day and Coconuts Game #3

After starting the season off with a loss and a tie, the Coconuts finally found their form this afternoon, easily dispatching their opponent 4-0. While the other team had some chances here and there, it was almost a complete domination from start to finish. One of Lucas's teammates from last year almost had a hat trick, ending up with 2 goals and an assist. As for Lucas, he was on ice for at least one of the goals, giving him a +1 in the game and a +1 overall for the season. He claimed he was skating off the ice for one of the goals, but I don't think he was so I'm going to stick with +1.

Whatever the case, it was a fantastic game and showed that when the boys are clicking, they are going to produce. It should be noted that the coach scheduled an extra practice a couple of hours before the game. We thought it might be a bad idea, that the kids may have been worn out by game time, but I guess the coach knew what he was doing!

As for Day 5 at Disney, here's a massive dump of all the pictures I took that day.


You finally done with that exhausting list?

Don't worry, you didn't miss anything. That was the only picture I took that Monday. After 4 straight days of parks, we decided we needed a break. Plus, we only had 5 days of passes (to be used over 6 days) so that day seemed as good as any to relax.

The picture above was taken on the back side of the main building at our resort, Port Orleans Riverside. Shortly afterwards, Marilu and I borrowed my dad's car and headed to a nearby outlet mall to do some shopping. Lucas and my dad spent several hours at the main pool. The weather wasn't perfect--there was some light rain--but it was still warm so lounging in the pool was still enjoyable. We met up with them after we got back from the mall and also made the most of the pool.

Although there are no pictures of it, we went for dinner at a great Mexican restaurant at Disney Springs, the area that used to be Downtown Disney (for those of you who haven't been there recently). Our resort was connected to it by river so we were able to take a boat to it instead of a bus. The only real low point of that trip was that there was a major downpour as we walked around the shops and we got pretty soaked, even with ponchos. However, it's Florida so it was warm and we eventually dried off.

Up next, our last full day in Florida!

I laughed expecting a post like the one with all the great videos. One picture, seriously? Good to hear the kids won their game. I'm sure everyone went home with smiles on their faces.
