AN: I decided to use the Harry Potter theme park for this chapter because I've always wanted to go and thought it would be an awesome place for the characters to have a holiday. Also I huge thank you to my friend Dani for telling me names that I could use for the children.
Chapter Two
A couple of days after Boxing Day it was Brandon and June's sixth birthday. Both kids woke up early that day and went bounding into their parents' bedroom. They were really excited to see that there presents had been arranged on the couch for them. 'Mommy, daddy, wake up!' the twins yelled bouncing on the bed. Their mother and father woke with a start and then smiled when they saw the twins. Just then Parker came into the room with Christine. 'Can we open our presents now?' Brandon asked. 'Of course,' Temperance replied. Brandon and June brought their presents over from the couch and sat on the bed to open them. June went opened hers first. She was very happy with all her presents. Her Uncle Russ and Aunt Amy had given her a Disney princess's tea party set. Angela and Jack had brought her a couple of soft toys. One was Hedwig from Harry Potter, the other was a white teddy bear with a blue bow around its neck. Sweets and Daisy had got her a beautiful blonde haired, blue eyed doll that was wearing a pretty pink dress. Cam and Arastoo had given her a new set of clothes. They were a red top with puffy sleeves and a white skirt with red hearts around the hem. Her mother and father had brought her a Disney charm bracelet that had charms of all the Disney princesses on it. Parker had gotten a gift on behalf on himself, Christine and Brandon. It was a heart shaped locket with a picture of the entire family in it. June hugged her parents and siblings and thanked them all for the presents.
Brandon opened his next. Uncle Russ and Aunt Amy had gotten him a soccer ball. Angela and Jack had brought him a remote controlled car. Daisy and Sweets had gotten him a baseball glove and ball signed by his favourite baseball team. Cam and Arastoo had also gotten him some new clothes. They'd gotten him a top with navy blue and white strips and a pair of navy blue jeans. His parents had gotten his football signed by his favourite football team and his siblings had gotten him two new play station games. One was soccer the other was Mario Cart. After he had opened all his presents he hugged his parents and siblings and said a huge thank you.
Now that both kids had opened their presents they made a round of phone calls to say thank you to their family and friends. When that was done the kids went and put their presents safely in their rooms. When they came back to their parents' bedroom their parents had exciting news. 'We're taking you all to the Harry Potter Theme Park in Orlando tomorrow,' their mother told them. All of the kids cheered. 'Can Lisa come too?' Parker asked. His parents smiled at him. 'Yes,' his father said, 'we've arranged it so she can come too.' Parker was very happy with this news. 'You'll also be pleased to hear that your Aunt and Uncle are coming and are bringing your cousins and step-cousins,' Temperance told her kids. The kids cheered again. 'Now who wants to go out for breakfast?' she asked. 'Me,' the children all chorused happily. 'Run off and get ready then.' The children obliged.
When everyone was ready they headed out a restaurant that did an all day breakfast. They were seated fairly soon after arriving and their waitress handed round menus. 'I'll be back shortly to take your orders,' she told them. The family glanced over the menu each member deciding what they would have.
When the waitress returned they were ready to order. Brandon and June were allowed to order first as it was their birthday. They both ordered chocolate chip pancakes and chocolate milkshakes. Parker ordered hash browns, toast, sausages, beans and a glass of orange juice for himself and strawberry pancakes and strawberry milkshake for Christine. Temperance ordered French toast and a latte for herself. Seeley ordered the same as Parker and a long black for himself. The waitress wrote all this down and then took away the menus.
Fortunately it didn't take long for the food to arrive and when it did the family tucked in happily. They talked about going to the Harry Potter theme park while they were eating. Needless to say the kids were all very excited as they had never been before.
After the family had had breakfast Temperance and Seeley took them to see a movie which the twins had been anxious to see for a while.
After the movie the family had lunch at a nearby restaurant before heading home.
When they got home everyone began packing for tomorrow's trip. Parker took care of his own packing while his father and step-mother helped Christine, Brandon and June pack. As the weather was always warm in Orlando the family made sure to pack clothing that would keep them cool.
They had nearly finished packing when Lisa turned up. As she was going with them she would be staying the night. Temperance got her settled into the guest room after everyone had finished packing.
They had pizza for dinner that night as the twins had wanted it. They had ordered a lot of pizza and surprisingly it all got eaten.
After dinner everyone headed to bed as the needed to be up early for their flight the next morning.

The next morning went smoothly much to Temperance and Seeley's surprise and delight. Everyone managed to gather their bags and get out of the house fairly quickly.
They took a bus the airport and soon as they arrived they checked in themselves and their luggage. As there was still a bit of time before they needed to head to security they decided to explore the airport.
When the time came for them to head to security they made it through and headed to the gate that they needed to board the plane.
When the boarding call came for first class the Booths and Lisa made their way onto the plane and took their seats.

A few hours later the plane landed in Orland and the Booths and Lisa took a rental car to their hotel. They were staying at the Hilton hotel. On their arrival there they checked in and were given the keys to their hotel suit. They headed up stairs and got settled in. They decided to spend the day at the hotel as they were meeting Russ, Amy and their kids at the airport the next day. They were planning of heading to the theme once Russ, Amy and their kids got settled.
The group spent a lazy at the hotel. They swam in the pool, ate at the restaurant and ended up heading to bed at about ten o'clock seeing as how they had to be up early again the next.
