Girls like dinosaurs too

Our first day down in Orlando last month we went to downtown Disney and couldn't believe our good luck of getting into the T-Rex restaurant. The other times we have been, the line is 2-3 hours long. So, this was Adeline's birthday lunch. They have moving dinosaurs, jellyfish, woolly mammoths and a meteor shower pass through the ceiling every 20 minutes. The walls turned red and the ground shook when it happened.

Yo Ho Yo Ho A Parrish Life for me.

We did Sea World while we were there, but only because it's free for military families. Our kids won't do any of the "big" rides, so we just enjoy all the shows and the penguin and shark exhibits. This time we did the Stingray Encounter and made all the horrible memories for Rick come flooding back of slimy skinned Stingrays, attacking him. Our favorite show is the cat and dog show, where perfectly orchestrated animals go through doors, hatches and ride in cars, all with no human interaction. Our best time seeing this show was 2 years ago when a dove got loose, and when a cat came out for her performance, spotted the dove and the whole show became a fiasco

Adeline insisted on riding a sickening ride called Ocean Commotion, here she is as the ride starts

And here she is mid-ride
Notice the difference?

The ride must've knocked her senses out, b/c we told her to stand in front of the penguin and have a picture taken, but she trampled her way into the flowers and stood half on and half off his back

When Reece saw the flamingos behind us, he said, take my picture by the pink pecans. I think that's a combination of a penguin and toucan

Every afternoon Rick treated the kiddos to ice cream from the lobby. The pool was heated, thank God, b/c the air temperature was around 60

Emma made a friend of a Canadian boy her age who was here on holiday. He stalked Emma the whole trip and would jump into the pool when she was there, exit the pool when she left and stand near the shuffle board and stare at her when she came outside.
