We are back!! It was a very long drive home but we got in safely last night and there is only a little bit of snow left in our yard! Abby declared on the way home that she was ready to move to Florida lol! Not sure that will happen any time soon but I sure would like to go back next week! The weather was hot and sunny every day and could not have been more perfect. Busch Gardens was fabulous and we thoroughly enjoyed SeaWorld again. I will be posting lots of pictures over the coming weeks (I only took 1100 pics!) and I am going to start working on SeaWorld and Busch Gardens themed kits to scrapbook my pictures. I will also let you know about where we stayed and what our favourites were at each of the parks!
I spent the day unpacking and I will spend the evening catching up on my email and comments.
It is nice to be home!
I thought it would be fun to show you how much the kids grew from the last time we visited SeaWorld in 2008:
Time flies!

I sure understand the twins wanting a pet manatee, I would've brought one home too. We went to florida last year to visit our daughter, my first time there. We went to Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park, they are a wildlife refuge for the manatee, they are incredible animals!! We were there in January so they had several wild manatees there keeping warm for the winter :-)

That's cute Abby wants to move here but Summer is just around the corner and hot and muggy doesn't even begin to describe it! We live in the pool all Summer... oh and the Beach too! How about a plush manatee? That sounds promising that you can at least adopt one... they are endagered :( Between boat propellers and the extra cold waters these past few Winters they aren't doing so great. I'm glad you made it home safely! Oh, Thank You for the Happy Birthday Kit and the Templates!

Love the photos between the two years. Glad you made it home. Too funny them wanting a pet manatee. Looking forward to see those pics. Thanks for another great template.

Thanks for the template but it doesn't have to be ruined. There are places were you adopted a manatee. You pay a small fee and they get a certificate but it stays where it is. You are just helping to maintain it at its present location. Here's the link. It's $25 for the year or for $35 you get a plush manatee as well. http://www.savethemanatee.org/

Glad you all made it home safely and had a great time. Sea World is our favorite park! Trust me, you do not want to be in Florida during the summer..it is miserable and lasts forever!

Glad you had a good trip and are back safe. Don't be too quick to say no to that manatee - you can find an adorable stuffed one or maybe even adopt one online! Now that song - Barbara Manatee - keeps running through my head! Thanks for all the great freebies!

Thanks Pam. Great pictures. Have fun adopting your manatee!
