Slides, Shamu and Springs

Last Sunday after church we headed to orlando with my parents for a 3 day get a way! My dad works at the Florida Baptist Convention and he was able to get us pretty cheap "room and board" at beautiful......Lake Yale! No, we didn't stay in cabins; we got to stay in Dr. Sullivan's Suite. :) He was gracious to let us stay there. Sunday afternoon the children had fun exploring Lake Yale

AQUATICA
Monday morning my dad, daniel, nathan and myself headed to Aquatica, Sea World's new Waterpark. We got there at 10 am and didn't leave the park until after 8! Nathan had a blast. He rode most of the slides with Buddy *2 person floats* I wasn't confident enough to take him down by myself. Nathan was right at 42 inches tall which allowed him to do all the slides. He didn't mind waiting in lines and was ready to go up again after ever slide. We even enjoyed playing with nathan on the kid's island!

SEA WORLD

Tuesday we headed to Sea World with Kaylee and my mom in tow. I always enjoy Sea World, even the shows. It now has one rollercoaster which is actually pretty good. We got there when it opened and didn't leave until the fireworks show at 10:00. The kids were so good and really made the trip for all of us!

SILVER SPRINGS

Finally, on wednesday we met up with some other family members at silver springs. Daniel was not able to take wednesday off so he missed out on this fun adventure. I enjoyed silver springs. It was just good old fun! The kids actually got to hold an alligator. Kaylee looks kinda scared in her pic but she really wanted to and wasn't scared at all. My favorite thing about silver springs is the good ole glass bottom boats. I loved being on the boat with everyone while we coasted down the beautiful silver river. It truly was nature's theme park.
