May 6th Sea World

We woke up early in the morning to go to Sea World. We went and ate breakfast at the Ponderous Steak they have all you can eat breakfast for 3.99 which is cheap. At Sea World we had a great time. Abby and Jacob feed the sting rays and petted them. Then we went to feed the sharks and saw Shamu.

Jacob in front of the car. I had to pull him away screaming because that was his car. He had to touch every tire and even the gas cap, before he would leave. Everyone else in the group left us because they knew how long he had to stand by it.

Abby playing in the water. It was very hot this day.

We met my cousin Mary, her husband Chad, and sons Randy and Ryan, my uncle Randy and aunt Pam for dinner at the Boston Lobster fest. We had a great time.
After we at we went and rode go-karts and feed the gators. You would put part of a hot dog on a stick and drop it down and the gators would eat it. The kids had fun watching the gators grab there sticks.

May 5th The day of driving

We stayed the night in Slidil, Louisiana. We got up the next morning and drove all day. We arrived in Orlando around 9:30pm and stayed the night at the Little Tiki Lodge. It was a very nice hotel it was like an apartment. Sorry I do not have any pictures of this day, because we were in the car all day. I think we watched the Bee movie at least 4 or 5 times that day. The kids did great. We were tired of sitting all day. We went along the coast and saw a lot of water along the way. We went on a scenic drive. We saw a lot of pretty scenery.

Same day

As we were waiting on Mike to get the crab boil. There was this little craw fish outside in the parking lot. We stood around watching it crawl around. As you can see it was ready to fight. My mom kept telling me to pick it up and take it inside, what was she thinking I have never picked up a craw fish before. I could see it all now hanging on to my finger and me yelling. That was not going to happen of vacation. So a nice man came and picked him up and took him home and ate him.
This is the restaurant we ate at Mother's they are famous for there beans and ham, but we did not see it on the menu.
This was a stage that they put on shows in the summer. It was neat to see.
The super dome that everyone went to after the hurricane. As we were driving you could see still the houses that were destroyed and people still living in the trailers. I hope one day it will be the same as before, but it will take a long time for that.

First Day of trip May 4th.

We left our house at 4:30 am. We were going to leave at 4:00 am, but we had too much stuff to load. As you can see the kids were happy driving out there. We stopped at a McDonald's for breakfast which was still in Oklahoma at 7:30 am.
We then kept driving and stopped along side the road in Louisiana. We could not find a rest area anywhere. There was all these little bugs flying around so it was a quick sandwich and then back on the road.
Grandma and Abby in the back seat.
Pictures of Louisiana. There was alot of water to see.
We stopped here so Mike could get some crab boil. They have the best. They are in outside New Orleans.

We are home

I just wanted everyone to know that we got home fine today. We are all in one piece. Thanks to God!!! We all had a great time. I will post pictures of our trip and our new house that we are closing on June 17th.

Walt Disney World

We are having a great time. I will post pictures when we get back home.

Getting ready to go

Well we are getting ready to go. I am panic mode now. I have been working full time at the church and working one day a week at Dr. Wall's office. I am usually packed by now the people that know me are probably shocked, because I am not ready.

We have our house inspection tomorrow. Hope everything goes well.

Sunday will be Mike's and I's 7th year anniversary. He got me a ipod which I have been wanting for a while now. He has not gotten anything yet, but 7 wonderful years with me. I am not sure if he thinks that sometimes.

We will be leaving on Sunday morning and I will not be able to post because at Disney the cost to use the Internet is 10.00 a day and I am not going to pay that.

I will post when we get back and also pictures.
