Finally we had enough money to go on a vacation and we chose Florida. We're at a hotel waiting for a van to come pick us up and take us to the airport.
Since Alex had never been to an airport I'm showing him all the planes that are going by. And he didn't fall asleep until he got used to the airplane and he was all interested looking out the window.
We were at a pirate dinner and we all got swords. We got a dinner too and I ate a little bit of salad even though I didn't like it. it was a stunt show and the kids got to be in it, even my dad.
Here's us in front of the ship.
First stop was universal studios. This is the ball park. It's so much fun! Alex was shooting one of the guns up top.
This is an animal show and the little white blob over there is a cockatoo. All the owner had to do was signal for it and it would come and land on her hand. She asked someone if they had a dollar bill. She asked the guy to hold out his hand and then the bird flew up and took it from his hand. And then it gave it to her. But then at the end she had the bird return the dollar bill to the man.
Isn't this pretty! It's an overflowed meadow that we rode over when we were on the airboat.
This is one of the alligators we saw they said it was probably a two year old.
Carson is leaning over the side of the airboat and I got a little nervous that he'd fall out because the guy said he saw some big bulls, which is what he called the big male alligator.
Carson got to hold an alligator!
This is a pizza pie! Full of cheese, and I couldn't eat a whole slice. And there is only a tiny crust on the bottom.
LIzards! We caught them after I found out that they were living because the first time I saw one all I saw was a flash of brown and then it was gone.
Looking for lizards. We found some later.
My favorite stop. Universal Studios on Adventure Island! And Harry Potter land! I love the castle, it actually was a ride. There was also a dragon roller coaster. And my mom felt her head getting dizzy on it.
HoneyDukes! So much candy! All mine! Wah-haha!
Buying butter beer, which is like a really good white froth on top that tasted like caramel. And there was a pop in it that had a hint of butterscotch in it, and it was fizzy.
Last stop. Sea World! This picture looks disgusting doesn't it. We're feeding manta rays, sting rays.
They'd slap their fins on the side of the wall to say 'I'm hungry! Feed me!"
You like dolphins? You'll like this picture. I wanted to feed them but we went to the orca whale show instead.
This is the great big orca whale show I was talking about earlier. It was awesome! We went into the soaking section, and they really do know how to soak people.
We fed sea lions too. If they missed them and didn't get them the birds would get the fish we were trying to feed them.
Disgusting! Right?
The dock to Cocoa Beach had some red ants on the beginning of it, but once you got passed the red ants it was sandy.
Water finally! It was so warm there and there was no rocks. I even saw fish jump out of the water.
Weeee! Letting the waves rock over us.
Everyone likes to dig some holes and build sand castles right?
The chocolate frog! I finally got one! It's from Honeydukes.
