Zaza cut Marky's hair- :) This is me in the chair thinking about how going to my sister-in-law's house is like being on vacation!

Zaza and Big Grandpa brought up some of Marc's old things! So now we have his old Michael Jordan posters and his science project that won Regionals!
I brought some matching pajamas for Julia, Landin and their dolls!
They put on a show for us with jokes, skits, and riddles. We also as a family played Wheel of Fortune on the WiiU every night and cracked up. One night the clue was "city" and we had "City of Ro_ _ _ _ _." None of us could solve it and suddenly Tucker said, "City of Romance!" And we won!
On Sunday we drove to Tampa for the funeral and Amber babysat the children. We decided to stay on Monday so the children could play more and ended up going to Sea World! It was amazing! I have never been there ever- I for some reason thought it was basically an aquarium with a whale show. I had no idea how huge it is and how wonderful it is- we loved it!
Our children, especially Julia, love animals so they were in heaven!
They were mesmerized!
Manatee!
The penguins were adorable!
We enjoyed the adorable sea lion show.
We rode several rides including the penguin ride that Amber did the animation for!
The highlight of all was the orca show- it was truly breathtaking. To see these magnificent creatures so closely was such a special treat.
Julia, Landin and Tucker sat on the front row and were totally soaked!!!
Totally drenched!
Loved every minute of it! And with the 99 degree heat they dried off in no time.
The girls loved the dance party in the street-
The cupid shuffle-
We stayed until it closed and even caught some of the firework show.
So a totally unexpected trip ended up being a wonderful, memory-making time with family.
