Sea World


































Last week we went to Florida to visit Gram and Pop-pop (Holly's parents). The highlight of our vacation was a trip to Sea World. Daniel had a great day and managed to last 4 hours in the sun (just about the amount of time that I could last as well). Gram and Pop-pop were very excited for Daniel to see a show, so we went to the Dolphin and Whale show (Cirque de Soleil meets Sea World). Daniel definitely enjoyed the dolphins and the lady dressed up as a parrot. There were live parrots who flew right by his face. Daniel did so well sitting through the whole show and really liked it. Then we went to see the penguins and puffins as well as the turtles. Michael bought a spritzer fan for me and Daniel to cool us down. After lunch Michael and I took Daniel on the carousel - he was not too sure about his first ride, but I attribute this to being tired. It was such a fun day with Gram and Pop-pop. Plus I beat Michael at Wack-A-Mole (again) and won Daniel a stuffed Penguin. Pop-pop bought him a dolphin puppet that makes sounds like a dolphin!

The rest of our stay with Gram and Pop-pop was so much fun for them and Daniel. Kirby (their dog) wanted to lick Daniel and play with him 24/7. Daniel loved the exercise balls and Gram gave him an old TV remote to play with! Plus Daniel got to go on lots of walks and received lots of hugs and kisses. Daniel was introduced to all the neighbors of course.

Michael and my dad played golf and we all had plenty of ice cream (Daniel only had whip cream). Finally, you will see pictures of Daniel helping Pop-pop on the computer (he is such a whiz).

About Me
