Nickelodeon and Seaworld Fun

We have compiled a group of pictures and put them to a Dora song from her Musical Adventures Around the World cd...we hope you enjoy. For those of you that do not have video capabilities, one way or another:) I have included a couple of pics for you to see. We had a blast on our vacation and look forward to doing it again. Madison loved seeing Dora and singing a long with she and Boots at the sing-a-long. She got to help them find the big red chicken. You can imagine the comments Clint had about that one:) She also got to eat breakfast with Dora and Diego and Spongebob, which she figured out was really fun after a few minutes of uncertainty.
We also took her to Seaworld. She had been a couple of times before but does not remember...of course. She loved the dolphin and shark underwater exhibits and the kid zone too. She made it until 10 o'clock so she got to see the fireworks on our way out. Ever since 4th of July, she thinks those are pretty cool, and she is right! Clint and I are so grateful to be educators...not only because we get the summer to spend with her, but because we get a lot of great perks, like free entry into Seaworld and various other discounts, making trips like this possible. We know we can't get this time back so we are trying to make the best of each moment. They go by quickly!!!! Saturday is the dual birthday celebration for Maddy and Brittany (who turns 3 tomorrow). We decided not to do a party and have only a family celebration since there was so much other stuff going on. Maddy actually turns 2 on the 18th, which is the first day of school for students in our county. How awesome is that?!?!?! Not really obviously.
More pics to come. Enjoy the video!

Busy Busy Days

We had such a fabulous weekend and are looking forward to our vacation today. We went to Naples and celebrated my Aunt Fran's birthday Friday night and had a shower for my cousin Heidi and her adorable little one TJ. A long time friend of the family, Tracey, was also in town with her son Duncan...who is almost 5 and super cute! We went swimming and mini golfing and to the water park and to the beach; it was all a lot of fun. We came home yesterday and we leave today for the Nickelodeon Hotel in Orlando. Maddy, Clint and I are going for 3 days as a last hoorah before summer is over. Maddy will get to meet Dora and Diego for the first time and she is VERY excited. We are also going to Seaworld and she is pretty pumped to see the dolphins too. It should be a great time! We hope you all had a great weekend. Enjoy the pictures.
