Sea World 2012

I have so many pictures from our day at Sea World that I decided to do a slideshow just for it:

Here are some videos from the Shamu Shows we attended:

A day in the pool

On Sunday, my mom and I went to Best Buy to investigate waterproof digital cameras and my mom surprised me in store by telling me that she and Dean were buying me one that day for my birthday.  My birthday isn't for over a month, but with two water vacations coming up, they wanted me to go ahead and have it.

Today we took it out for it's first underwater use.  Here are some photos and a video from our day:

She kept telling me to push her head down into the water.  Obviously she loved it :).

Frisco Fire Safety Town

Today Gavin and Kailee had a super-fun playdate at the Frisco Fire Safety Town.  We went on cool tour of the station with a very nice and patient fireman who was very understanding that our children were a little young with short attention spans.  We definitely need to check out the Friday night summer jeep/bike fun in the Fire Safety Town.  They had so much fun that both kids cried part of the way home and Kailee easily passed out after lunch.  

A side note: Kailee insisted on wearing panties instead of a pull-up and she did great!  She willingly went to the potty when her friend Cade did and has had no accidents so far today!  She just woke up from her nap (which she took without a pull-up) and did not wet the bed!!!!

Here are some pictures from our morning outing:

Kailee was a little nervous in the beginning

She wanted to watch and size up what was going on before participating

Gavin hopped right in the fire truck

The storm simulation scared all the kids a little bit

Can you believe this town complete with working street lights?

Babe's Chicken--Need to hit the real one soon!

The kids all had a BLAST running around the pretend town

Kailee had to check every door to confirm they were locked, even after seeing other kids do it first

Off to other buildings

Nothing scarier than a fake person you weren't expecting lol

Kailee warmed up to the fire truck on the way out

Gavin was game for every opportunity and was very upset to have to leave

Surprise!  I ran into my sorority sister Lauren whose family was on the tour after ours!  So fun!

XOXO,

Mini-Vacation at the Gaylord Texan

We met my dear friend Roni and her family for a one-night stay at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine last Friday.  It was sooooooo awesome to spend time with Roni and see our kids play!  Here are some pics from our awesome mini-vacation:

Waiting for Roni and the fam!

Instant best friends!

Longtime BFFs reunited with all the kiddies!

They thought about napping after hitting Paradise Springs but then got a second wind!

Showing they really love each other!

The boys

Future son-in-law if Roni and I have anything to say about it :)

Holly came out which was so fun!

Teacher Appreciation surprise left in our room while we were at dinner/parade/fireworks

XOXO,
