Sea World

Sea World was all decorated for Christmas which was a fun way to kick off the holiday season. It was the perfect mix of animal shows (for Lindsey) and rides (for Molly and David).
After a few animal shows, David and Molly were ready to split off and head for the rides. Grandaddy joined them while B, Lindsey and I were happy to catch more shows and hang out watching the Sea Lions. Lindsey was kicked back in the stroller, eating cheetos, drinking diet coke, and rubbing Vaseline all over herself. Good times for Lindsey Lou!


David spotted Manta when we first got into the park. While we headed to feed the sting rays, he rode Manta and LOVED it. After a few more times, he even got Granddaddy on it and he is not a roller coaster guy. He survived and has the hat to prove it.

We were able to feed and "pet" the sting rays. They'd swim along the side of the open tank and splash their fins for you to touch. Really cool!
The Dolphin show was my favorite. Amazing animals. Lindsey enjoyed both the dolphins and the cotton candy treat.
Elmo was really happy to see B when she walked up. Looks like B is a fan of Elmo as well. Quite an embrace, B!

Amazing dolphins up close. We "rode" the Polar Express simulation ride which dropped us off at the North Pole. Molly was excited to see Santa, talk to a few elves, and see the Beluga Whales.

Lindsey was not going near Santa but she would at least let the girl elf get close to her.

Thanks for the fun, B and Grandaddy.

Sweet Sea World dreams, Lindsey.

Thanksgiving in Florida

We spent Thanksgiving in sunny Florida with B and Grandaddy. Very low key and lots of pool time which the girls LOVED. We got our nails done one day and did a little shopping while the boys checked out some of Granddaddy's Habitat projects. They then found a local bar that serves over 100 different kinds of beer. Needless to say, David loved his day out with G-daddy as much as we loved our girls day out with B.
A Thanksgiving Day hug for Daddy from his sweet girls.
Lindsey made the name cards for all the plates and was a great helper in the kitchen.

Water girl!

B had several craft kits for the girls. Molly loved weaving the best. B and Grandaddy sent the girls on a scavenger hunt to let them know we were going to Sea World as an early Christmas present. Two VERY excited girls..and two excited parents as well!

A great Thanksgiving and we have so much to truly be thankful for. Family, good health, friends, David's job, and of course our sweet and fun girls.
