Florida 2.0 = The Minecon Edition, part 1

Because we are the coolest parents in the world, we took our kids to Florida to attend the Minecon Convention. (You know, the game where all the parents look at it and say, "I'm not sure what he is doing on the computer there, it looks like a 1980's game of some type.")(Honestly, it was a hardship to have to take the kids on a weeklong trip to Florida. All the nice weather, fun times...we are givers all right.) 

Moving on. (honestly, have you ever seen anyone get so caught up in explanations? I apparently have some sort of condition that requires the liberal use of parenthesis whenever I write in order to survive. Pretty sure someone out there is doing some research on that as we...type.) (And ellipsis marks too... Love 'em. #issuesgaloregirl) 

Of course, I had to bring my BFF and her family to join the fun. @murolanad (that is her twitter name. Get this: She actually used her FIRST and LAST name when she created her twitter account this week. I was all, "Girl, YOU DON'T DO THAT! Your going to get us killed! They will see your name, google you, trace it back to ME, and kill us both. After all, it's all about me, and my fear of being offed, right?) I am being kind and not giving her full name Dana out on here. 

 Naturally, before heading to Minecon, we had to make the obligatory trip to Disney, right?    

(I would have won, but I had a sore wrist from the first round, and I am SURE Jess cheated.)

It was a good time to take the boys, I think they at the age where this was the last time they would really have a good time at the Magic Kingdom. They are ready for more adventurous parks now! 

 I am not sure if you saw on Facebook or not, but Minecon allowed Dana and myself to be...

MINECON AGENTS

 (I know, right!? Apparently agents are not required to be background checked, highly trained, or pass rigorous physical training tests. They just have to be willing to work for free.)

We all had an amazing time. The staff at Mojang are incredibly kind and fun to talk with. The set up was incredible. The panels were great, and they even rented out Islands of Adventure for us to visit Saturday night. I'll go into more detail in my next post, but my stomach is growling and I have been sitting for more than the doctor recommended 15 minutes, so I'll just leave you with some pics for now. :)

Jeb! I had to physically pull Elijah away, or we'd still be standing there.

This is Dinnerbone. No, not the type you eat, but the human type. Which I didn't know existed until Minecraft.
