FLORIDA WEEKEND ADVENTURES

SEA WORLD

The best deal we've found here in Orlando is Sea World. You buy one day and get the rest of the year free. So, since it's 10 minutes from our condo - the three families with kids (Us, The Youngs and The Knaptons) - all got passes. We love it! This was only our second time going, but we intend on making it a weekly outing. Can you say, "Sha-mu! Sha-mu!" ? Luke sure can! He's likes imitating the whale's flips on my bed!
While we love all the shows - my kids love being able to get IN the water just as much!


COCOA BEACH - ROUND 2

Last time we enjoyed the day with Jacob, but this time he was working so we went with the Knaptons. It was a nice day (i.e. NOT 5,000 degrees like most days here) until we heard the thunder and saw the lightning begin. We have learned here in Florida that you don't have the luxury of time when all that begins. The rain is upon you FAST! We gathered the sand-covered children and got them loaded (not a quick process) and just as I was closing the trunk door, the heavens opened and DUMPED! It was crazy rain! So, our day at the beach was fun, but very short-lived.





KENNEDY SPACE CENTER

We thought since we were in the area we would go to NASA, but the rain was still too rediculous to even enjoy the outdoor stuff. Luke went NUTS over the "rockets" anyway - here is one of them.

HUMAN SLINGSHOT


Oh yeah, baby! Mommy and Daddy can have fun too! A couple Jacob works with invited us to try this thrill ride with them. They watched our kids - as our kids watched us shoot up into the sky! It was an AWESOME view AND adrenaline rush! Yahoo!
Yes. That little speck up in the sky is us!
