Aquatica

We started out our Orlando adventure at Aquatica Sea World's water park. Paige had great time going down the slides and body surfing in the wave pool with her dad and floating through the white water river with Grandma and Grandpa Florida. It was a gorgeous hot sunny Florida day. Ethan enjoyed
the wading pool and he ate some sand. Chad, my mom and I did some of the thrill seeking rides. My mom and I had an incident on the Slide tower. You slide down in a double tube. It looked easy and no one else had any problems, but when the two of us got to the bottom our raft flipped us off, Chad was watching us and I think he is still laughing about it. If only he had been videoing it! It was a great day had by all.

Florida

We made it to Florida on Sunday mid morning. Ethan flew like a champ, didn't have any issues. Paige made friends with a little girl on our flight. She is such a social butterfly. We spent Sunday at Cathy and Jerry's mainly in the pool. Ethan liked the pool and Cathy bought him a blow up crab floaty and he kicked around the pool in that.

Monday was a crazy day, we had to take Ethan to urgent care. He has croup and a slight touch of pneumonia. So they gave him a couple of shots and put him on oral steroids and an antibiotic. He is already doing much better! Chad and I had planned to stay at the beach on Monday night but were unsure if we would be able to do that due to Ethan, but the grandma's kicked us out the door and said have a good time. We stayed at the Lani Kai on the beach our room had a great view of the ocean. We had fun walking the beach and hanging out.

Tuesday we were at Ft. Meyer's Beach all day. The grandma's brought the kids down and then said they were retiring. They have no idea how we ever get the kids out of the house and how we function on so little sleep. Paige had a great day playing in the sand and running in the ocean. She also made a friend and petted many dogs that were walking on the beach. Ethan thought the sand was cool and tried to eat it. He was not a fan of the ocean the water was too cold.

Today we are off to Orlando. We are going to Sea World's Aquatica water park today and Sea World Tomorrow.

Leaving for Vacation

Well we are off to Florida for eight days on Sunday. I can't wait for some relaxation and warm SUNSHINE!!!! We are spending three days in Orlando at Sea World and Chad and I are sneaking off to the beach to stay in a hotel for one night. The rest of our vacation we will be at Chad's parents in Cape Coral enjoying their pool and visiting the beach. This is Ethan's first flight and vacation. I am sure it will go fine he is such an easy going kid. I lost track of which flight this is for Paige somewhere around her twelfth?? She is very excited to meet Shamu in Sea World. I will post pictures as soon as I can.

Building a snow fort with dad

Chad and Paige sure love to play in the snow. Mom is not such a big fan of the
snow and always says its too cold for Ethan to come out:)

Happy Easter
