Visitors from Germany

We were so happy that we got to see Matt and Lugia . Matt only gets one trip a year so we were so excited to see him for a couple of days. He has a great girlfriend... Lugia. She is so freindly and very easy to talk to. I felt like I have know her for years. This was also the first time Ashley got to meet Matt (AKA ...Uncle Matty). It was so nice they brought a Barbie Jeep for her. She loves it... Although I had to laugh.. she pulled Barbie and Ken out and when she put them back in the car Barbie was driving. This was very thoughtful.

We had a nice time with them for a quick 24 hr visit. We went to the beach so Lugia could see the Atlantic, then to City Place to BB Kings and then to a Movie. In the morning we went to Sailfish Marina. They also got to feel the effects of Tropical Storm Isaac.

Sea World Trip August 2012

SEA WORLD…..

We had another first… A trip to Seaworld and a couple of nights in a hotel. We meet up with Aunt Loretta and my BFF Emmie. We stayed in the Downtown Disney area and went there both nights.  We went to the TREX restaurant and I got to build – a – dino. Ashley  has  new friend named  Aqua-saurous. Silly name but it was the best we could come up with. Ashley loved eating the dessert and playing on the computer while we created Aqua’s birth certificate. We went to Sea world for 2 days. It was HOT but the girls had fun. We went to all the shows, we feed the dolphins and we had a lot of fun just running around and playing. The hotel experience was a little challenging. Emmie has always slept in bed with Loretta and Randy so she is used to beds. I tried to have her lay in the bed (not happening) I brought the pack and play. She was not having it to be in a pack and play while her friend was in a bed. Mommy had to stay up and rock Ashley until 2 AM. The second night went a little better. It was great getting away with the girls and I think it was a great success. Naps were fine and timing for eating and the flow of the days were perfect. We are planning another trip soon since I have the annual pass now.

NC 2012 July Trip

We have a busy couple of months scheduled. Our first BIG trip was to go visit Grammy and PaPa in North Carolina. We flew up and Ashley did very well on the plane. She loved to look at people, smile and play with  playing with the window and seat trays.

Ashley was happy to see Grammy & PaPa. She just loves them so much. She had fun at the beach with Grammy in the water and she just loved playing with PaPa at the house. Everything she played with she had to give it to him.

 We were so excited that Aunt Leslie, Uncle Rick and all of Ashley's cousin (Katie, Ryan and Kyle) where there to play with. We spent a lot of time at the beach and pool. We had fun playing .

 Ashley even got to ride a bike and use her new bicycle helmet.

 It was sooooooo much fun. We can not wait to do it again next year
