Busch Gardens!

 On our last day in Florida we decided to take the kids to Busch Gardens before flying out early the next morning.

I'm so sad our vacation had to end!  It seems like so long we looked forward to it then with a blink of an eye it was over :(  Can't wait to see

Clearwater Beach

 Today we spent the day at Clearwater Beach.  The first thing we did was go on Captain's Memo's Pirate ship.  This was something I thought the boys would love, but Adriana loved it too!
Here is MaMaw with Adriana and Joey waiting to take off.

Then they gave the kids water guns and let them fight off the bad guys......meaning all the parents :)

 The kids getting directions for the treasure chest...

 More water gun fights!

 Mr. Cool....

 And we ended with a dance party where the kids were right out there for the action!

 Joey and his certificate!

 After the cruise, we headed to the beach!  Sadly I was too busy playing with the kids and this was the only picture I got.  But they had lots of fun playing in the sand and on a huge playground they had right on the beach!  My mom and I also snuck off to do some shopping while my dad played with the kids.

 And finally before we left back to our condo, my mom and Adriana decided they wanted to go parasailing so off they went!  My brave little 9 year old had a blast!

We had a great day spend on the beach!

Visiting Winter!

 Ever since my kids have seen the movie Dolphin Tale, they have wanted to visit winter.  So since we were in the area, we took the day and visited Winter!
Here is some fun shots they took of us

 Then the kids and I went down on the deck with a rescued dolphin and had our picture taken...

We also got to go on a boat ride out to a private island to collect seashells.   We had a great time and I learned a lot about rescuing sea life!

Clearwater Beach!

 The first day we made it to Clearwater Beach, we spent the whole day on the beach.  Our condo was right on the beach and it was perfect because there was hardly anyone else on the beach with us!  We loved it!
My parents bought the kids a boogie board and the kids had the best time playing on it and learning to "surf" :)
Here are pictures from our first day on the beach!

The smiles on these kids faces say it all!  They are having the time of their life!!!!
