seaworld and siesta key

We were lucky to have my mom visit us for a few days. It was so nice to have someone else to entertain the boys (which she is so good at), and someone to help cook and clean. We don't get to see our family enough, so we took advantage of the time she was here. We went to Sea World on Monday. I haven't been since I was 9, and I was very excited to see what the boys thought of everything. The first thing we saw when we got there was the dolphin show, which was spectacular! The boys had a great time, and can't stop talking about it. One of the best moments was taking them on the first kiddie ride. Their faces were pure glee, and I couldn't help but laugh and smile at their excitement.

We went on over to Downtown Disney after Sea World for dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. The boys love Downtown Disney, especially playing with Mr. Potato Head
Tuesday we went to Siesta Key Beach. The water is the most gorgeous blue, and the sand is so fine and so white. Here Ky holds a handful of sand to add to the sand castle they made with Grandma

My mom made these adorable cars for the boys. (She is so talented!) They haven't stopped playing with them.
