Ella enjoyed the beach. Here is a quick video that shows her playing in the sand.

Ean found a cool new friend when we were in Sea World. He is the smaller dolphin in the group.

Now back in Indiana, I’m missing the beach, sun, and heat already.

Here are some photos, slide, and link back to the full album of our memories in Cocoa Beach.

April and Ean had a chance to feed the Dolphin when we were at sea world.

We didn’t think we were going to make it to Sea World on this trip after we started looking at the prices. Then we found some 50% off coupons at the condo where we were staying at.

The 4 McIntosh Apples all headed over there on Saturday for a very hot and sweaty day.

The kids all enjoyed the shows as well as the exhibits, especially the dolphin show with the aerial acrobatics and Macaws. Unfortunately, we didn’t get any video or pictures of the dolphin show because we were too engrossed in the show. April and Ean went and fed the dolphins as well although Ean got splashed in the face and wasn’t happy after that.

Here are some pictures, a slideshow of photos, and a link to the photo album.

Here is a quick video of Ean on the beach collecting shells in his bucket.

The family went down to Downtown Disney one day last week to hit the Lego Imagination Center and let Ean go shopping. My Dad came down and joined us for the afternoon.

We ended up eating lunch at the Rainforest Cafe, which Ean did not like in a previous visit to the Nashville one. After several long minutes, we convinced him to sit down and at least try it. We made it through the meal.

Here are a few photographs from the afternoon as well as the slide show and link to the photo album.

Here are some shots of the condo. Sorry they are my phone shots but I will upload the cameras photos when we get home.

The dolls are kinda creepy but I just ignore them.

EDIT: sorry for the title misspelling

Here are sone random images from my phone as we hang out on vacation.

Some keynotes:
We did visit the Lego store
Dad did make it down to meet us at downtown Disney
Ean actually ate at Rainforest Cafe

Indiana did it’s best to try and keep us here. However, we finally escaped it’s clutches and headed towards Florida.

We left about four hours late because they completely shutdown the airport due to lightning in the area. There was a strike right outside the window where we were sitting that scared everyone sitting close to the window.

Once in the air, the ride was not all smooth. We had plenty of bumps and a couple of good drops.

I have included a screenshot of the weather radar and the kids alseep in the air. (notice the fear in April’s face the background)

EDIT: Grammar and spelling mistakes fixed.
