I love seeing the palm trees!
Yes Abby. That is quite possible. She did so great on the plane. We arrived in Orlando a bit early and had to wait a few minutes before we could get off of the plane. During those few minutes Abby spilled water on her pants. It looked like she had peed 
The extra clothes I packed for her were pjs. Note: Earlier in the day Jamey asked me how I was doing. I told him I was fine – I just didn’t want to embarass him (in front of his boss). Sooo, I’d like everyone please welcome Princess Rainbow Bright! Remember that comment about not embarrassing Jamey? He held her little hand – rainbows and shiny shoes and all – and proudly walked through the entire airport

Hello curls! I’ve missed you!!

We are staying at a Residence Inn. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better hotel. It is more like a two bedroom apartment!! Te girls have their own room and bath. We have a kitchen, table and family room. And a master bed/bath. I just love it!

We were so busy today that lunch really didn’t happen. As a result – we were all STARVING!! We picked a great little place called Tu Tu Tango for supper. It was awesome!! The kids did great! Google it! Fantastic place!!

We are wrapping up our first night in Orlando. We were planning on going to Sea World while Jamey worked. However if you have seen the news today – we may not get to go So sad. It seemed that trainer loved those animals so much. We haven’t told the kids about any of this. We are really hoping to still get at least one day there. The girls had their normal routines tonight. Abby is a gamer. And Hannah – well – maybe she should join the circus

The show was awesome!! Abby had a blast! Hannah unfortunately cried through 50% of it. She just kept yelling YAYA!!! Hrm. Okay. He isn’t here. Let’s blame him for the crying Here are some pics. You will also see Laura and her kids Ian (4) and Layla (1.5). We all think Layla looks just like Hannah a few months ago
Here are the kids and some sea lions. I grabbed a pic of the tiny baby one for K. Hope you like it

Wow! I’m learning so much! Thank goodness we are here with another family that has done this many times before. She is really helping me keep it together. I’ve really only had one panic moment and that was right when we got to the hotel. Everything else has been smooth and easy. Thank you so much Laura! We are having a blast!! And all of you that know me must know what a trooper she is to be handeling my sarcasm and other endearing qualities Abby has found a great friend on this trip!! We hoped our kids would be a good match. So far we are correct. They are having so much fun!

It was so cool! We got reservations as soon as we arrived at the park. So all we had to do was show up! We waited by the outdoor pool of sharks, rays and other fun ocean creatures. Once we walked in Abby and Ian sat right next to the glass! These HUGE sharks swam right past them the entire meal. Hannah pretty much just copied whatever Abby said. If Abby yelled “Wow! Look!!!” you can bet the same thing was coming from Hannah two seconds later.

I forgot toention that we went too the dolphin nursery when we first walked in it was like a big ‘Welcome To Florida’! The happy baby dolphins jumping around and the fantastic smell of salt water! It was great!
After lunch we went to see the penguins and ride through the tunnel with the sharks. These were the same sharks we saw while we were eating – except we were under them!! I took a couple more pics of the kids by one of the bays on our way out. We have a week long pass. We hope to go back for some more!!

I’m not sure how well you can see it. But once we got back to our room – Hannah passed out! The cleaning lady went in her room and vacuumed around her and she didn’t even flinch!
We took the kids to the playground while we waited for the dads to get home from work. Then we grabbed some supper at the grill. We have fed the kids and now Jamey and I are heading out for an adult meal!!! Matt and Laura are keeping all of the kids!! Woo hoo! Don’t worry – we’ll return the favor tomorrow night

Leila and Hannah having a little fun showing their belly buttons :)
No no. It wasn’t the Funky Chicken but it WAS the Funky Monkey Wine Co. And it was super!! We didn’t leave for dinner until nearly 10. It was quite difficult to find a place to feed us that late on a Thursday :/ We really wanted something that we couldn’t get at home. We found a Bahama Breeze. We found a Magiano’s. We found a Denny’s… Then, out of the corner of our eye, we caught the word SUSHI. Hrm. Close to the ocean. Why not? We were just wearing jeans and when we walked up to the door we could see black table clothes, candles and lots of sparkeling glasses. We risked it!! It was a great risk!!!! They let us in and we had an awesome dinner!! We started with some seared ahi tuna. It was good. But I don’t know if it was my favorite of all time But then we had a fried goat cheese that we spread on some croutons and topped with a sundried tomato jam. OMG. YES OMG!!! it was that good. Our waitress reccomended it and I was thankful!!! I had a reisling with the appetizers that I let the waitress choose as well. Then we picked a sake to have with our sushi. I had never had sake before. It was really potent. It tasted much lighter than water. I felt like I got the full flavor after I swallowed. The first little glass was rough. But I did notice the more I drank the less I could feel my face errr, I mean, the more I could appreciate the flavor and not be so overwhelmed with the alcohol content. We had the waitress also choose her three favorite rolls for us. They were so delicious!! We had a great time and I am so excited we decided to risk it and just walk in to a new place! Thank you Matt and Laura for keeping an eye on the girls! Jamey and I loved our time together!!

We had an awesome day. We are thinking of going to a lighthouse tomorrow. I’ve never been to a lighthouse so this is pretty exciting for me!! Right now we are considering sea world again on Saturday so the guys can go too. Oh!! Please remember i am giving you all of these posts from a little bitty keyboard on my phone. I’m doing the best I can with spelling and such. It takes a while for things to finally post. So you are pretty much getting my first shot at things – no edits See you in the morning
