choo choo

We finally took the kids on the train at the zoo...Ben was very serious and quiet the whole ride.

wild animals-inside and out

We took the kids to the Natural Bridge Caverns Wildlife Ranch to feed the animals. The kids seem to have no fear of feeding them until the ostriches and emus came. And apparently a mean goat butted Brooke in the petting zoo.

back at the hotel

We decided to order pizza by the pool at the hotel rather than attempt to corral all the kids in the car and go to dinner. As you can see, even the big kids thought it was fun.

the adventure continues...

Being in a very crowded area with 3 kids all between the ages of 2-3 was trying at times, but the kids had a great time. They got to feed dolphins, ride rides and see all kinds of animals. Brooke loved the Shamu show the best. When the show was over she told me that she wanted to be a Shamu trainer. Reagan loved to read the "treasure" map and directed us where to go. By the end of the day, both the kids and adults very tired and ready to go.

Sea World Adventure

The beginning of the day...before meltdowns, sweating, tired children. As you see we are all smiling and ready to start the day. We should have taken a pic at the end of the day to show the difference.

He's not a tiger Daddy

Brooke was watching golf with Joe today and he was telling her that she was watching Tiger Woods play golf. She kept telling him "He's not a tiger Daddy". Then she was asking him where the lion was.

I don't like ring around the rosey

Hannah did ring around the rosey to dunk the kids under the water and although neither of the kids like going under, Brooke really hated it and was a little afraid to get back in the water.
