Our first day was absolutely amazing! We were picked up in an Escalade stretch limo at 3:30 am and made it to the airport, got checked in and took off at 5:30 am. We connected in Atlanta, Georgia and had just enough time to run from one end of the airport to the other for our connecting flight. We were in Orlando by 11:30 am and were greeted by one of the volunteers from Give Kids the World village.

We were given a complimentary rental by Hertz. We got an amazing Toyota Sienna minivan. It was fantastic and had tons of cup holders!!!!! We were greeted like royalty at the House of Hearts, which is the welcome center and media center at Give Kids The World. They showed us to Katie's Kitchen, which is actually FREE food provided by Boston Market. They gave us a wonderful Boston Market meal for four and showed us to our Villa! We stayed in Villa 115! It was a very short walk from the center of the village. Blake says villa in such a cute way! It sounds more like "Billa". So CUTE!!!!!
The Villa is AMAZING!!!!! It is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom ranch style villa. The entire thing is handicap accessible and the bathroom off of Blake's room was bigger than our master bedroom at home!!!! There was a kitchen and dining room and a living room as well as a washer/dryer! It was just like having our own home! Give Kids the World made a lasting impression with us in the first 15 minutes we were there. The staff and volunteers made us feel like we were loved and they truly seemed to enjoy every moment of it!
Blake and Alexia are in HEAVEN! They love the village and the villa! There is a train that gives people rides from their Villas to the different parts of the village! It truly is every child's dream! We spent about 3o minutes running through the Villa discovering all of the amazing things!
Once we were done unpacking and getting settled we toured the Village a bit more. We went to the Ice Cream Palace where Blake ordered his own ice cream and white milk! The volunteer angels were so kind and helpful!
We walked around and found Ol' Elmer, the GIANT elm tree that snores when you walk by! We also found the amazing pool and sprayground!!!!!
We were all pretty tired from getting up so early and we had an amazing day planned the next day, so we went to bed pretty early!!!
More pictures and info soon!!!!!
