We just got to SeaWorld and couldn't be more excited! We did 2 days at SeaWorld thanks to their come back a second day for free. The kids will hopefully have good memories of their trip here. I had so much fun and I am all grown up.
Amanda got her picture taken with the cast of one of the shows. It was really fun to watch this one. Those actors do some amazing stunts and acrobats.
Matthew on the playground climbing the huge net.
Someone was thinking when they put Sea World together. A special place just for little ones.
At the Shamu "Believe" show. I am glad we were at the top, the people in the front get really wet. We went to most of the shows at SeaWorld, but the Shamu pictures turned out the best.
We "dived" for oysters. Well, we paid a guy to dive and the kids picked out 2 oysters. We got to open them and keep the pearls.
This is our little squirell friend. He was not shy. He came right up to us and took food out of my hands. In fact, most of the squirell's at Sea World are aggressive. When we came out of the Shamu show we found that a critter had ripped a hole in Matthew's SpongeBob lunchbox and ate part of a PB sandwich. The zipper was broken and we had to throw the lunchbox away. Dumb squirells.
Matthew was big enough to go on the "Atlantis" water ride. What a thrill for him. And we figured out that you don't get wet if you sit in the back. 
The little aquarium after the water ride was fun for the kids, but especially Ethan. They have an aquarium in the floor that you can walk on. Ethan loved it! He is watching all the fish swim below him. Amanda and Matthew got to pick out a stuffed toy to take home. So far they have been playing and sleeping with them since coming home. They each wanted a picture with their new underwater friends.
WARM ENOUGH FOR THE BEACH!
I was worried that the weather wasn't going to be very warm. But we got lucky and it was warm enough to go to Cocoa Beach! It was fabulous! Our friends the Bardwell's drove down from Georgia and spent a couple days hanging out with us. It was lots of fun!
Matthew played with Nathan at the beach. They covered themselves in the warm sand after playing in the cold ocean.
Matthew got sandboobs again, they are just a little too low.
Amanda had fun collecting seashells again this year. Her blue bucket was full of beautiful shells.
Ethan and Daddy testing the water.
GATORLAND
We went to GatorLand which is a tourist trap. But we had fun walking through the swamps and looking at all the gators and crocs. And many thanks to my friend Lisa who told me to buy cheap hotdogs before we went. We fed all 4 packages to the gators. That was the kids favorite part.
Overlooking the swamps filled with over 140 alligators and crocidiles.
OUR LAST DAY IN ORLANDO.
On our last day in beautiful Orlando we spent the entire afternoon swimming at the pool. Fun was had by all!
Jumping and Twisting into the pool!
SUPERMAN! Right through the waterfall!
Everyone had a good time jumping into the water.

Jealous. Again. One time we went to Sea World and Spencer's dad made us all sit front and center. Joan was nice enough to buy ponchos for those who wanted. We got soaked! Hopefully I'll get to see you in August!
Looks like a wonderful vacation full of memories.
