SeaWorld

While Mike's family was here visiting we also went to SeaWorld. It was a lot of fun and everyone really enjoyed themselves. The little kids especially had an amazing time. From the Shamu show to the dolphin show and the sea turtles to the shark exhibits we really couldn't go wrong. The kids were great and we were sad to leave. We ended up getting a season pass so you will be seeing many more Seaworld photos.

Brad and Addison. (She was so excited for the Shamu show.)

Fun at the tidepools.

Mike showing Kamryn all of the sharks.

Kamryn gets so excited at the beluga whale exhibit. She is almost giddy. It is really funny to watch. She talks to everyone around her and is constantly saying things like "whoa" or "look" or "wow".

Addison had so much fun and was always up for a photo.

Fun with bubbles.

Kamryn LOVES Elmo and when we saw that you could take a picture with him, I decided that we could wait in a short line to make it happen. She had an extremely hard time waiting, and I really don't blame her. How do you explain to a 1 year old that they have to wait their turn? But we made it and she got to meet Elmo and Abby.

One of the kids' favorite parts of the day is always the Elmo rides.

I think this one was their favorite!

Can't you tell?!?

Even the adults had a little fun!

Oceanside with the Family

A few weeks ago Mike's family came to visit us. We had a lot of fun and were able to spend a lot of time together. Our first adventure was to the beach. It was our first time to Oceanside and we quickly decided it is one of our favorite beaches. The kids had so much fun. Kamryn finally discovered her love of the water and it was hard to keep her out of it. The older kids did a lot of boogie boarding and the younger kids played in the water and built sandcastles. What a great day!

Cooper and Addison became instant buddies.

It was really funny to watch these two interact.

I just love their little faces after they fall asleep.

Can't you tell they had fun?!?

Fun with Peanut Butter Playdough

Thanks to Tiffany, my kids had a fun afternoon playing with Peanut Butter Playdough. It is SOOO easy to make and the kids love it because they can eat it. If you haven't tried it yet, you have to.

Just because she's so dang cute!

Mommy, I saw a frog . . .

Since we have moved into our new house we have spent a lot of time outside. One thing the kids have discovered. . . SNAILS. As they were watching the snails Kamryn turned to me and said, "Mommy, I saw a frog". This was just too funny not to share.
