Sea World.

We LOVED Sea World.  This was personally my favorite day.  The weather was perfect, there was hardly anyone there, and it was a ton of fun.

We started off the day by going to the Dolphin show which was INCREDIBLE!  The trainers could swim and ride the dolphins, they had platform divers, and birds that would fly into the audience.  It was a blast. 

Spence and Lance sat in the splash zone and got soaked!

Taking a picture with some of the performers after the show.

Lance petting the Sting Rays!

The Penguin Exhibit!

Lance got to feed the otters sardines and the sharks shrimps.  He loved that!

This was in the shark exhibit!

One of Lance's favorite parts of the day was going on the flamingo paddle boats!

It took a bit of work to get Tallie to sleep, but she was able to take a pretty good nap.  But before we knew it, she was up and off.  She LOVED running around everywhere! 

The Shamu show was not great.  Now that the trainers are not allowed to get in the water with the whales, it is pretty dull.  The whales do a few jumps, and then most of the show is fillers with inspirational videos and music.  Kind of a bummer. 

Family pic time - Lance's new favorite thing to "fake" being asleep!

Wonderful, wonderful day!

The Happiest Place on Earth!

Arriving at Walt Disney World and taking a shuttle from the parking lot.

Funny story about parking:  We pull up to the parking attendant, and as soon as we see the girl, Speen just being friendly goes "Hi, oh my goodness you look so cute in that outfit!"  (Apparently all the parking attendants where these yellow striped outfits).  "How are you today, what is the deal with parking today?"  And she goes "Well normally it is $14, but today for you it's FREE!"  Spence honestly wasn't trying to get free parking, he was just being his friendly self, and heck, it got us free parking, woot woot!  It pays to be nice... or I guess I should say it SAVES to be nice! 

The kids were a big fan of the sun in their eyes!

The glorious magical kingdom.  As soon as we got there, there was an awesome singing show going on with all the disney characters and princesses.  It was a great way to get us into the mood!

Ah, the carousel.

Mickey shaped ice cream sandwich!

LOVE "It's A Small World!"

3D show was so much fun!

Lance loved riding on Dumbo and driving the cars!

We tried to take a picture of the kids with this picturesque background, but of course, the Tootles wouldn't hold still!

They each got to pick out a toy at the store, courtesy of the grandparents! 

And we specifically chose Monday to go to the park, because there was an Electric Parade that night, which I am so happy we got to see.  Lance said it was his favorite part of Disneyland! 

And all tuckered out after a long day at Disney!  Such a fun time! 

Orlando Temple

We had a few hours to spare before taking Speen's coworker to the airport, so we headed over to the Orlando Temple that happened to only be about 10 minutes from the hotel we were at.  One interesting fact is that the Orlando Temple is the 2nd biggest temple in the East, after the Washington DC one. 

LOVE this picture, story of our life.... Lance close by somewhat minding us, and Tallie running off the second she is put down! 

Lance decided to hop in the guards golf cart!

Florida via the cell phone pics!

Tallie had never been on an airplane before Florida, and in true Tallie fashion she only slept 15 minutes of the almost 4 hour flight!  BUT she did AMAZING!  Spence and I were even able to watch a movie during the flight.  It was great! 

Listening to some Bob Marley!  

We are great at traveling with kids, we hardly bring anything.... LOL!

First full day we were there, we rushed outside to enjoy the sunshine, here are the pictures of us happy to be OUT of the snow, and INTO the SUN!!!!

We walked over to Universal Studio which was right by our hotel.

And found this really cool hotel with water and boats around it.

Lance LOVES Pam SOOOOO much.  He was so excited when she arrived.

Here is where Spence spent his time the first week....

We spent our time swimming,

and walking around the hotel,

and playing golf!

I had to document where Tallie slept.  The hotel was PERFECT!  We were so excited to pack n' play fit in the closet!   When Tallie woke up, she would stand up and slide open the closet door. 

The sunset from our hotel window one night - this picture is not edited, it was seriously this beautiful!

Tallie is such a clean eater, lol! 

We also visited M&M World at the Florida Mall.  Lance's favorite candy is M&M's, so he loved it!
