Florida

Well this time around we did Disney we went to Florida.....It was a different place.  I love Disneyland so it was bigger and lots more to do.  We had a great time.  The one thing I really wanted to do was show Brandyn Sea World, you see he fell in LOVE with Free Willy about the time he was three and actually still at 15 refuses to let me get rid of our Free Willy Set, we have replaced the VHS Tapes with the DVDS but I know he still has a heart for that whale and Jesse too.  We got to Sea World just in time for the show, and I was talked into sitting in the front row and getting soaked by these magnificent creatures.  Brandyn totally loved the show and we were feet away from the whales at one point I thought he could possibly reach out and touch one so here are some pictures of them......

What a magnificent shot

Feeding the sharks, everyone is in ponchos, because it was raining!! I know now that it can RAIN and snd still be 80 DEGREES!!!

Introducing.....

Well here she is our newest family member........Happy

We brought this little cutie home from the pound and saved her life.  I told the kids that we would go and look but NOT get a dog so don't ask, I thought the were pretty clear about us not getting a dog....hahaha! We came home with her and she is sweet.  I am NOT a dog a person they chew things, bark, dig holes, make a mess, well you get the point but Happy has found a place in my heart and she is growing on me. She loves the kids, sits in my lap when I am reading, and for the most part doesn't leave my side.  It is really fun watching the kids with her, they adore her and somehow she adores them climbing on her, picking her up, and playing with her so I guess Happy is a good dog for us.  Happy is teaching me about patience and she is teaching the kids about love and responsibility for an animal, so I guess for the next twenty years or so Happy will be here to fill our home with love, barking and her sweet self!!! Welcome aboard Happy!
