Florida: The Wheel, Aquarium + Medieval Times

April 17, 2021: After Madame Tussaud's we rode The Wheel at Icon Park.  It's like a giant ferris wheel with enclosed pods, that takes you up 400 feet into the sky overlooking Orlando.

While riding the Wheel, the kids decided they wanted to ride the Star Flyer, which is a spinning swing that takes you up 450 feet in the air.

Yes, we vastly overpaid for this group photo lot, but I figured it may be the only group shot of all of us, so we paid for them. ($30 for 3 blurry prints)


Ultimately, only Kaden, Logan, Ari and Aubry rode the Star Flyer. 
Versii and Paxton decided to watch from the ground.





Ari and Aubry really badly wanted pictures with these birds.
Visiting the Aquarium at Icon Park.  We waited in line an hour to get in and we were disappointed.  Having the cousins together guaranteed a good time, even though it was not much to look at.  All they had were a few stingrays, a couple of small sharks, one sea turtle and a bunch of fish.  Not very impressive when you've been to the Oregon Coast Aquarium or the Texas Aquarium (per Autumn).  So if you want to see more than fish, save your money and don't go to the Aquarium at Icon.

After our time at Icon Park, we met up at Medieval Times for dinner and a show.


It was a fun show!




Ari got a flower from the Red Knight.
