So much excitement!

Well, I am finally able to sit down and write a journal entry from our trip to Florida--it is amazing what you can get done when kids are in bed and the hubby is at a church meeting.  Let's see if my pregnancy mind can remember all that happened while on our trip.

We weren't 100% sure we were all going to be going to FL Saturday night.  We were eating dinner and out of no where, Josiah got sick all over.  When we were cleaning him up, we realized he was running a fever.  We started fervently praying because we knew if he was sick, he couldn't get on the plane.  Neither one of us wanted to tell him that Sunday morning.  The Lord answered our prayers.  Just before we headed to bed, I went to feel Josiah to see how his fever was doing, and he didn't have one!! When he woke up Sunday morning, he was his normal self.  All morning, he kept asking if it was time to go get on the plane--he was sooooooooooooo EXCITED to say the least!!!    Both of the kids do an AWESOME job flying--God has truly blessed us with some great kiddos.  We got to FL Sunday afternoon, and we just hung out and tried to get settled.  Monday morning we spent some time out by the pool.  After lunch and nap, we headed to the Holy Land.  I don't have much to say except that it was soooooooooo CHEESY!!!  Shortly after arriving there, we found out that it is owned by TBN--I don't think I need to say anymore.  After seeing multiple pictures of Jane, it explained it all.  The coolest part of the place was the Noah's Ark display that was in the parking lot---and you don't even have to pay for that!  The rest of the day was spent just relaxing and hanging out with the family. Tuesday was a rainy kind of day, so we spent most of the day hanging out at the house.  We did go out to lunch, but other than that it was a quiet day.  On Wednesday, we got up and went to Sea World....we had so much FUN!!!  The kids absolutely LOVED their time there.  Sophie surprised us the most by how much she enjoyed the dolphin show.  My sister was holding her because we were sitting in the splash zone with Josiah.  Now, Sophie is one who enjoys her food and most of the time she will choose food over whatever else is being offered.  Well, when the dolphins started doing their thing, she was totally captivated by them and forgot all about eating.  She screeched the whole time, clapped when everyone else was clapping and when Uncle Toady wasn't paying attention, she would tap him and point to the pool.  I am so glad that we took them to Sea World--they had so much fun!  Wednesday night, Chris and I and my sister and brother in law headed to Medieval Times for dinner.  Chris was completely beside himself.  I am so glad that we got to do something that he enjoyed so much since this was his vacation, too. Thursday was another relaxing day.  We spent the day by the pool or at the neighborhood park.  On Friday, we got up and went to Animal Kingdom.  Josiah was so excited about riding the train.  We also went on the Safari ride.  His favorite animal to see was the giraffe, and Sophie liked seeing the elephants.  Each time she say one, she would raise her arm like it was an elephant trunk--we taught her to do that.  For lunch, we went to the Rainforest Cafe---a really cool place to eat.  The kids really liked all the animated animals.  After a nap, we spent the rest of the afternoon by the pool.  Saturday morning, we got and got ready to head back home.  Again, we were totally blessed to have super children when it came to flying.  We enjoyed our time in FL and doing something new as a family and spending time with family, but as always, it is nice to be home and sleep in your own bed.
