Adventure Island

Yay!! What a fun day! Yesterday was my brothers 33rd birthday and so we all got together for pizza and birthday pie :) By the time everything was over with in the evening it was after 10 o'clock...so the kids and I camped out in Grandmas living room. We stayed because we had to be up early to head to Tampa to go to Adventure Island!!! We got there bright and early (seriously the best time to go). When we first got there we got on all the big slides and water rides! The kids pretty much got to ride all the big rides (with an adult). There were a few that you couldn't go on with an adult and had to ride solo, so we skipped those, but they had a terrific little kids area. After a while the park began to fill so waiting in lines for rides was not happening anymore! The kids rode a few rides more than once and then off to the kids land! The kids played in there for a long while and we also went to visit the wave pool! SUPER fun stuff!!!! We ate lunch, took sunscreen breaks, ate Shamu ice cream, slushies, and cotton candy! Then we left, and the kids were out in the car in like two seconds! We went home cleaned ourselves up, and then headed out to the beach for a pot luck! What a fun day!


I love, love, love the summer!!!!! Cant wait to go back to Adventure Island (we got season passes)!

Fishing

So last night we went fishing!!! We have always been fisher people! We took Lexi before Christopher was born and then brought the double stroller right along after he was here! We always like to go late at night as well! We go all over. Kacy Key, down by mote, and our favorite spot right under the bridge at St. Armands! Last night we took Henry's little brother and sister along with us. First we made a trip and bought new poles and hooks and such, then out we went. Lexi and Christopher's poles are the dinky little kids ones, but wouldn't you know, they caught the most fish. Lexi caught 4 and Christopher caught 1. We always have a contest to see who can catch the most, and mostly I would win, for some reason I always caught most, but this time it was Lexi. I got some competition. Right when we got Christophers bait on and he threw it out he caught something within minutes. We hadn't even gotten everyones poles out yet!! Then came Lexi, again, and again, and yet again. Henry and I caught nothing and Henry's brother caught one fish and a sea urchin! I love the summer time when we get to go out and fish!! Hopefully we can get out on a boat like we did two years ago and fish!!
