Memorial Day at SeaWorld

We started off the day with an early morning surprise breakfast for Caitlyn. Yes, we booked breakfast at SeaWorld with Elmo and Friends. Needless to say we hit the nail on the head with this one. Combine 2 things Caitlyn loves, Elmo and food... Laura enjoyed herself as well, it took her some time to warm up to the characters, but Caitlyn on the other hand was in heaven. Caitlyn had an absolute blast!!!

After a spectacular breakfast we spent the rest of the afternoon at the park and saw all the big shows. The park started filling up by early afternoon, but we managed to see "Believe" (Shamu daytime show), the Sea Lion show, & "Blue Horizons" (Dolphin & Whale show). We also took Caitlyn to see the Clydesdale horses, she loves the horses...

Next Stop... Orlando (Memorial Day Weekend Continued)

Sunday afternoon we packed up in Cocoa Beach and headed inland to Orlando for the remainder of our Memorial Day weekend. You would think that living in Florida we would not even think about going to Orlando on a busy holiday weekend... It turned out to be a good decision. We arrived in the afternoon and decided to take the girls to Downtown Disney to do a little shopping and burn off some energy walking around before checking in at the hotel. We rode some rides, ate some ice cream, and visited the Lego store...

Afterwards we made our way back to the hotel and prepared for an evening at SeaWorld. It was a beautiful night and SeaWorld was not nearly as busy as we thought it would be. We ate dinner at the park and then made our way to see the feature show for the evening, "Shamu Rocks'. We spent some time walking around afterwards and Laura rode the Shamu Express (roller coaster for kids) a couple times before we headed back to the hotel for the evening.

Memorial Day Weekend in Cocoa Beach

This past weekend we packed up the kids and took a quick trip south to Cocoa Beach to spend a couple days at the Ron Jon Resort and clear our heads. Caitlyn's teacher, Kate, joined us on this part of the weekend. The kids had a great time; we swam all day Saturday in the water park at the resort and went to the Ron Jon Surf Shop as well. It was actually the first time I had been there considering how long I have been living in Florida. We ended up spending more time than we thought in the surf shop but it was fun. I didn't get any pictures from the water park at the Ron Jon Resort, but I did take some great pictures of the girls at other times during the trip...

Mother's Day Bar-B-Q

Our families came over to join us for a Mother's Day Bar-B-Q at the house. We had the Grandparents over as well as Sarah's Brother & Sister-in-law. All had a great time, the kids were able to play outside and everyone was able to spend some relaxing time with each other. Laura ended up playing Domino's most of the afternoon while Caitlyn was enjoying playing outside with Grandpa T.
