our trip to florida

I guess I should start off by saying that the weather follows us everywhere! It rained off and on for weeks before we left. When we got there it rained the entire time. grrrrr We did manage to go to Busch Gardens. The Kids had so much fun. They even went on there first roller coasters. Cody's went upside down and Morgan was a water ride.

When Cody went on his ride he didn't know what to expect. They were in line and he was making different noises and playing on the bars. When they got on the ride he was fine, he just sat there kicking the seat, even when they were going up he didn't notice. But as soon as they went down he put his head between his legs and started yelling to get him off. When he got off, he looked at Nathan and yelled at him "THAT WAS NOT FUNNY!" when he came back to me he was so proud of himself telling me he did it.

There wasn't very much else we could do because of the rain. So we spent the day together. We went to the mall and got lunch, we let the kids play. We even went and saw up with the kids. It was so nice, we had the whole theater to ourselves.

We spent a lot of time at the edwards house. They spent a lot of time playing video games while the kids played. It was a great visit. We can't wait to go back, hopefully when it's not raining.

A fun day at the beach

We went to the beach yesterday with Joe and Conner. It was a great day to go, the sun was out and no chance of rain. When we got there Joe and Conner headed straight for the water. I followed with Morgan, she cried a little but she was ok with it, Then came Nathan and Cody if you didn't see him you would have thought Cody was being killed or something by the way he was screaming. So Nathan took Cody back to play in the sand. When we came out of the water Cody was burried in the sand, I don't know why he wanted to do that, but he talked about it since we said we were going to the beach, and he finally got to do it. He had the biggest smile you had ever seen, who ever thought to bury someone in sand to make them happy.

After a while the tide started to come in and the water started making what i guess you could call a kiddy pool. Cody played in there while Morgan kept wanting to go back in the water. By this time she was having so much fun she kept asking to be put down. So I would hold her arms and she would float with the waves. She didn't want to get out of the water. I wanted to try somthing different to try and get Cody in the water so i got a towel and spread it out in the water and sat on in. As soon as I did that he ran over and sat with me. Then he finally went in the water and had a blast.

I forgot to mention the whole time we were in the water and playing Joe and Nathan took the little hole that Cody was in and started making a huge fort. The kids were also helping, until Morgan came up to me very upset and told me "they took my bucket mommy, get it." The guys took the kids buckets so the could dig more. lol then they got the kids to go and fill the buckets over and over with water. Morgan was the only one brave enough to go the water to get it.

When we were getting ready to leave Joe laid in the fort and decided that he want to be burried also. By time everyone was done with only thing we could see was his head. The kids thought it was so funny because they could find his body. that was becasue they were standing on it.

We had such a great day Morgan was asleep before we left the parking lot and Conner soon followed. The only bad thing about the trip was the three hour drive home because of the traffic jam. I can't wait to do it again.
