On with the weekend...

So after playing in the water we go under the water!!! We weren't sure how D2 would handle this, but she was amazed at the size of the sharks. From there we head to the penguins, as the kids have taken a liking to these, guess it's the Happy Feet movie. After spending some time watching these crazy little creatures it's off for firestone pizza!!!!

After lunch it was back to "Shamu Land" so the girls could run wild and have fun. Amazingly a slide kept them entertained for the better part of an hour.

Mommy took D1 on the coaster and daddy took them both on the "tea cups". Again another "small" place my fat behind probably shouldn't have been in, but it was fun none the less!!!

We ended the wonderful trip with a Christmas ligh/fountain show set to music that was great and then it snowed!!! Carrsyn absolutely had a ball wth this. She was truly like a kid in a candy store!2327=649=826=XROQDF>232364668<78:ot1lsi">

Busy weekend!

Saturday was D2's third birthday, so we headed to Sea World with her and D1. Grandma watched Z for us. We got over there a little before 11 and headed in! Upon arriving we decided we do the Shamu show Believe first. This turned out to be an excellent show with a great story about a little boy that wants to be a Shamu trainer. They begin the show by acknowledging all current and former members of the military and have them stand for a round of applause. Then it's on to the show! Here are some photo's:

After the show we headed to Shamu Land ( not the real name ) where they had stuff for the kids, oh the adults to try and do!!! So they have this "climbing system" with rope ladders and tubes:

Well unknown to me was the fact that once you enter this little area there's NO turning back!!! So my big mehind has to crawl through all these tubes to the end. Well at the end it's like a 4 foot drop, which if you're going feet first no problem, but you don't crawl through a tunnel feet first! So I have to figure out how to get my fet in front of me with about a 1/8 inch of space between me and the tube!!! While trying to gt this accomplished there's little kids behind me going " sir can you please go!" So we finally make it out of that and the girls decide they want to play in the water, under normal circumstances I would object ( wasn't exactly hot ), but what the heck lett'em be kids. So they end up soaked with no towel and no changes of clothes. Well that means we gotta buy some!!! After filling out the loan papers we're all set!

Ok, so that gets us through the first part of the day.....

Tis the reason for the season......

Hussle and Bussle and somewhere in between....

As you may know our clan andG'Ma went to the River House forthe weekend. Homosassa had there boat parade Saturday night and it was more then what we expected, being the Reds as they are. Some of the boats were gorgeous and the displays extremely colorful but it was led by a singing Elvis.......can't take the redneck out of Homosassa. Anyway, we had a great time and it gives us a chance to go to the River House again before she's gone forever. For those that don't know the house is up for sale : -( Our kids as well as us love it there and will miss it dearly.

This week is turning out to be a busy one. I'm going to D1 school to decorate cookies and crafts with her class, then Thursday night will be her first Christmas program at church and Friday her last day of school, she has a secret Santa party. Saturday is D2 Birthday and we'll take her to Sea World and have a party for her on Sunday afternoon and on Monday we're off to Orlando to an ICE exhibit which is suppose to be awesome. Still have to finish up Christmas shopping as well and find time to wrap it all! But through all the craziness I have to say I love it all for this is my life and a great one it is........

For all the madness in your lives may you find the time to enjoy every bit of it..

Getting in the spirit!

Clark got all the lights on the house!!!!

Not with out some difficulty though...

The tree is up an decorated as well.

The kids have visited Santa, this was Zach's first trip and he loved it.

Today we are venturing to Homossassa for the annual boat parade.

We are also planning a trip to the ICE exhibit in Orlando!!!

Hope everyone has a joyous holiday season!
