Arrival and Give Kids The World Village...

We arrived fine, had a great flight. At the airport we were greeted by some volunteers who helped us get our luggage and to the rental car. It was so funny, we had a really nice Chrysler Town N Country van loaded. We were getting in the van and all Nathan kept saying is we are going to jail, we are going to jail...I finally turned around and asked him what on Earth are you talking about. He (so innocently) said we are stealing this van and we are going to go to jail!! Poor uncultured kid! After much reassurance that we were only borrowing the van and not steeling did he finally calm down.

We arrived at the village in time for dinner and one of the nightly activities, Pirate and Princess party. Tyren and the kids did that while I went to orientation. They also visited the ice cream parlor that was open from 7:30 am and didn't close till 9:30 pm. We let them eat all the ice cream that they wanted and we didn't even sweat it if they didn't eat their supper. We were there after all, to have fun!!!

SATURDAY -- Day 1

Sea World.

We got up early on Saturday headed out to the ginger bread house for breakfast...

Then off to Sea world. the kids were raring to go, and yes it was a Saturday and it was crowded! the first ride the kids...meaning Amelia, Nate and Tyren was Atlantis...I personally can't stand these plunging rides so I didn't ride....Well these next few pictures are priceless. ( I have a lot of pics but I think I'm just going to upload them to a site and let you view them all from there)

This is the Atlantis ride it is a 60 ft, drop.... (be fore warned go to the potty first...you will be laughing at the cuteness!!)

Here they are coming down see the 2 white shirts....

Ready for it...this is priceless!!! This is a picture that I took of the picture that the ride took...we just had to buy this one!!!

See what I told you, you can't look at this picture and not smile or laugh! Even funnier you would think that they were petrified...well no they weren't they went back and rode it again!

That was pretty much the excitement for the day other than we fed the dolphins..Amelia LOVES dolphins, next to horse of course. So here are a few pictures of her and the dolphins the rest I will upload to a host site because there are many of these.....

Daddy trying to help her touch the dolphin.

After this we went to see the Shamu show and ride some kiddie rides, we went back to the village and had dinner at Katie's Kitchen which was all provided for us at the Village and it was Boston Market...it was delicious and the kids had some pizza delivered to the villa...all of it for free.

Day one down and 5 more to go...Next up day 2 both Universal Parks!!!
