Monkey Joe's!

After a rather uneventful weekend, I jumped at the invitation to an afternoon at Monkey Joe's with Addison's younger boyfriend, Brenden. For those of you who don't know what Monkey Joe's is, it is basically a big room filled with tons of bounce houses for the little ones all the way up to the older kids. Addison absolutely LOVES it. She can run around anywhere and mommy can just sit and relax and let her have at it. It's great! Thankfully, Brenden's mom brought her camera and caught a few pics of Addie in action! Here they are...


Addie on the little slide... I think this one is her favorite!

My little baby climbed up that huge slide and slid down at top speed!

Sea World

Happy New Year! Here's wishing the best to you and all your family.

Today we went to Sea World to get the new year started off right. Is this girl spoiled or what? First Disney, now Sea World! As we sat waiting for one of the shows to start Bryan commented on how lucky we are because people come from all over the world to do what we can do any day of any week. It's wonderful!

Addison did have a great time mostly due to the Elmo and Abby show that I think she could have sat and watched for hours. Fortunately for mommy and daddy, it was only 20 minutes long. She spent most of the morning asking to see the polar bears and when we finally found the exhibit, there was one... fast asleep on the rocks. She had fun watching the penguins and told us she wanted to touch them. I don't think she realized how cold it was in there and how mean penquins are! The dolphin show kept her attention because there were birds flying and dolphins jumping all over... almost sensory overload! She touched a stingray too and wasn't scared at all! Bryan and I are looking forward to using our passes in a few months to ride the new roller coaster that is under construction now. Thankfully, it doesn't open until the summer and I will be able to ride then! YEAH!

Yes, there is a polar bear in this picture, to the right of the blue bucket. Not too exciting!

Say Cheese! Eating ice cream before the dolphin show.

Touching the stingray. She kept saying, " I did it mommy!"
