SeaWorld!!!

We decided to stop in Orlando yesterday and go to SeaWorld. Ryan was absolutely in awe over the animals (his mommy was too).

First we watched Clyde & Seamore (the sealions) take back Pirate Island.


Then we stopped by the Manatee Rescue...

Checked out some fish...

And our favorite part...we fed and pet the dolphins. We had an amazing time with the dolphins.


And then we caught the last Shamu show of the night before we hit the road. Ryan never took his eyes off of the whales for the entire show. It was adorable.

Thank You Grandpa & Grandma

Ryan & Gavin had craft time today. They made a special Thank You card for Ryans Grandpa & Grandma to thank them for letting us use the house while they were away on vacation in Montreal. We all had a great time.
Have a safe flight Grandpa & Grandma, we'll see you tomorrow!

Daddy!

Daddy flew in to spend the last days of our vacation with us! He & Ryan had a great time downtown. They splashed in the fountains & made friends with Charlie the horse.

Clean Up

We spent the afternoon swimming in the pool today (of course we forgot to take pictures) and then it began to rain AGAIN! The boys were so bored that they took it upon themselves to clean up the house!

Superman!!

Ryan got a new swimsuit...he abosolutely HATES it! He cries until I take it off. But I had to share, because I happen to think its adorable!

Safari

Today we went to the Lion Country Safari Park. We had a great time!

The giraffes were our favorite! One crossed the road in front of us and Ryan loved it.

We had to stop for a quick ride on a zebra...

There were fish in the pond. Ryan couldn't believe it! He was trying so hard to get in there and go for a swim with them!


And of course, Ryan made lots of friends at the petting zoo...

The Zoo

We woke up bright and early and went to the Palm Beach Zoo this morning. Ryan took a special interest in a little gecko that we found along the way...


It was HOT! So Ryan wasn't in the mood to have his picture taken with a gator...


We saw lots and lots of animals and they were great n all, but....then we found the sprinklers!!!

Downtown

We decided to head to Downtown West Palm Beach for dinner tonight...we went to The Cheesecake Factory. The boys had a great time entertaining each other during dinner...









After dinner we headed to the square where the fountains were a BIG hit! Ryan and Gavin threw in about 50 pennies to make wishes...hopefully all of them will come true!

Success!

We finally found an activity the boys LOVE! It took us over an hour to put on bathing suits, put on lotion & pack up all of our pool toys. When we got to the pool the boys were having a great time, laughing & swimming. BUT...it started to thunder & lightning not 20 minutes after we got in the pool!!!! :( We're not so sure about this vacation idea!

We told the boys that they could go swimming in the pool, but only if they took naps....



Yay! Having fun...Finally!








When we told Ryan and Gavin that the rain was coming and we had to go their smiles went bye bye :(

Rained Out

After the beach disaster we told the boys they could go swimming in the pool. However, a mini tsunami came through and we were trapped in the house...here's how they passed the time...

A Day at the Beach....Sort of

Ryans 1st day in West Palm Beach didn't exactly go according to plan. He was still tired from the long drive and he was afraid of the waves! He only wanted to play in the sand. After only a 1/2 hour both Ryan and Gavin had just about enough of the heat and wanted to go home! :(
Here's the only picture he had time for...(sad, I know)



And this is Ryan after a not so long day at the beach... :)

Fun in the Rain

It rained in Georgia today...again! Ryan & daddy decided to play in the rain and splash in the puddles! I don't know why the pictures are so horrible, but trust me he's smiling :)

Play Time!

I had to drag Ryan to the mall today and he was NOT happy about it. So I had to bribe him with some Play Time!

Of course he's all smiles as long as he's not shopping...


Peek A Boo!



It's all fun & games until somebody gets stranded at sea...


After about 30 minutes of playing Ryan disappeared behind the bridge and I found him "resting". I guess he just couldn't handle all the fun :)
