These pictures got out of order but you can see that we had a heck of a time with the Pinata. After 15 min of hitting it while up in the air we laid it down and the kids hit it with the stick and then Leia just started jumping on it. after it loosing all of it's legs and head still no candy.So we took it inside and dumped it out . We did have an stick incident Leia grazed Chris in yes the kahuna. Where is the video tape recorder when you need one.
Sea World

Shamoo
This looks like Chris fishing. Donald Duck caught a shoe in this picture. They went out the other night and Kelly caught most of the fish. Chris caught a tow strap on his fishing line. HA!!!

Happy 5th birthday Leia. We had a breakfast birthday for her with a small chocolate cheesecake. Yummy!!!



Animal Kingdom

It was so stinking hot. We are watching the parade.

We had a fantastic time in Orlando. We went to Animal Kingdom and Sea World.Best vacation on earth. here are some pictures of our trip.We now are back in Panama City we got in around 8 pm and it's 10 now. I'm going to head to bed but thought you all would like to see a few pics first. love to all. I took close to 250 pictures so I'll post more of them later. BYE!

beach pictures

The girls had such a good time flying a kite.

Ashley says we should live here so we could go to the beach every day!
I bet he just loves his job. Talk about making a killing and having fun doing it. This guy is soooo cool. We've gone 7 years in a row now,and talking about squeezing in another cruise when Mom gets here. The kids young and young at heart have a blast. A must do if ever down this way.

What a perfect day. It's going to be hard to leave. Time is going by so fast.

Did anyone call Gico for this gecko to jump on Chris!!!!! As I screamed like a sissy. Attack of the friendly lizards. More pay back since we scared another lizard with a blue tail into the bushes just to look at it. and that is when Chris and I got into the poison Ivy.



Luckily ours made it off the ship

We went to No Name Beach today after I got off of work.We flew a kite and played in the water a little bit. Something unidentified was spotted twice by us swimming around so we got out. I think it was a big stingray and they hurt if you get stuck with their barb. It darts poison into you and it Burns so bad you'd rather cut your foot off. So we played it safe and made sand castles and just hung out. We saw a tiny dead shark on the beach Cool but weird. Here are some more pictures of the pirate ship and cave adventure off of Kelly's camera.We are headed out to dinner. Love to all.

ARRRRE MATIE

WE WENT ON THE SEA DRAGON FOR THE 4TH OF JULY. THIS IS ONE OF THE PIRATES.HE WAS TRYING TO MAKE THE KIDS SMILE FOR THE CAMERA. HE WAS JUST SO FUNNY I HAD TO TAKE A PICTURE OF HIM.




THE SEA DRAGON


We had a fantastic 4th. First the caves and then the canoe trip. We ate at our favorite restaurant the boat yard and went on the Sea Dragon. It was nice and cool because a hour before the sky fell apart into a horrendous downpour and we just knew everything would be canceled. but the show went on and it was fabulous. I was glad we went and let the caption deal with the crazies on the water. They estimated 35,000 people just on the water in boats. It was insane. and the wind keep blowing the boat everywhere. We had a good caption. I was nervous for him though just because of all the other boats around us and we're all drifting around like crazy. I hope you all had a great 4th. I have to run time to go to work. YUK!!! I think they are going to hit the beach today. Lucky them. Love to all.

4th of July

We got the girls hair cut yesterday. Ashley got her bangs trimmed and Leia got 6 inches chopped off


Yes they are playing video games at the beauty shop
Canoe trip

Yes that is a 6 foot alligator, We saw 2 of them on our trip. We were shacking a bit when this one started for the water. Thank goodness he stooped.


The caves at Marianna. Chris and I didn't do it because we ended up getting into Poison Ivy and had to run to CVS for some Medicine to take care of it. THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO ONLY US,

Hey,

Wish I had some fantastic things to tell you but I don't this weekend. We have done nothing but do major house work and yard work. We are getting ready for Bill,Kelly,and Ashley to come down. They will be here Super late Monday or early Tuesday. Yippee!!! I can't wait. We have tons of plans. First thing on Tuesday after I get off of work we are going to get the kids hair cuts. but it's just not any old beauty shop. It's for kids. It is decorated like it's something out of Disney.They have a princess room for the girls and a cowboy room for the boys. It is so cool, I promise to take pictures of it. Then on Wednesday We are going to the caves and hopefully also be able to go on a canoe ride and have a picnic lunch there. Then later that night we are going to go to the Pirate ship and go see the fire works. I do have to go work Thursday and Friday but hopefully I will get out at an OK hour.I think Kelly Plans on taking the kids swimming at the base pool and maybe to the beach for some sand castle fun. Chris and Bill are going to go do guy things. Like fishing and going down to the range for some competition shooting. some where in there They are going to do an air boat ride, Sea Screamer ride and possibly Ripley Believe it or not tour. Saturday we leave for Orlando. Pretty much it will just be a full day of driving. We are going to stay at a resort that even has it's own water park and horseback riding.Sunday and Monday we hit the parks. Sea World one day and Animal Kingdom the next. Leia's Birthday is that Monday so we are going to have a small birthday breakfast for her with Unicorn decorations and hit one of those parks. We leave Orlando on Tuesday and again drive all day back. I took Wednesday off and so we are going to have a small beach birthday party for Leia cake and all.Thursday morning they leave for home and it's work for me like usual. The time is just going to fly by.
