Before the Magic

Bryan and I just got back from our first ever kid-free vacation. Before we enjoyed the magic of the mouse, I took the kids and Maddie to my parents for their fun adventure while we were away. We arrived Sunday night and the kids and I had a lot of excitement before I left for Disney on Thursday morning. On the agenda, a return trip to the aquarium (timed nicely to see the otters, finally!), three different playground visits, lots of walks, the pool, the beach, and a trip to the awesome pond to feed the turtles.

 Kellen drove "the pirate ship." Ay, ay, captain!

 

I am pretty sure she probably decided he wasn't doing it right! 

 

 Cheese!

 At the aquarium, Kellen wanted in on the turtle rehab area. Or at least the jacket!

 Noelle actually helped to heal her turtle.

 Sting ray touch tank!

 To the turtle pond, friends!

 "Turtles, come here turtles!"

 Feeding the massive amounts of reptiles.

 

Hey buddy, let's go the playground now. We'll see those turtles again soon!

I love my little people and definitely missed them so much while we were away!
