Hello From Orlando!

Hi everyone! If you follow me on Facebook (my profile) you already know that we are on vacation in Orlando this week.

We drove 15 hours from our home to Orlando on Monday night and arrived in Orlando Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday night we just hung out and recooped from the looong drive.

Wednesday we got up and headed to Sea World! Ace was rarin’ to go!

We were there when the park opened and had Breakfast With Elmo and Friends…

While eating Ace got to meet all of Elmo’s friends. He got a hug from Telly Monster…

…and tickled by Bert…

…and his picture taken, on stage, with Elmo and Big Bird…

After breakfast we pet the Sting Rays…

…and pet the dolphins…

…and fed them too!

The Dolphin show was simply amazing with the acrobatics, high dives, and stunts with the Dolphins…

It was so cool that Ace sported this face for much of the show…

Overall the first full day in Orlando was a blast!!!

We have two full weeks of vacation planned including…hanging out at the hotel resort, going to Gator Land, and driving up to Duck, North Carolina where we will rent a house for a week and spend some time at the ocean!

Gotta go…Ace is ready to go to the pool! This kid is a fish! 😀

Every time I go fishing, while sitting there waiting for a fish to bite, I always think about the Bert and Ernie episode on Sesame Street from when I was a kid. I sooo just want to try the infamous fish call. 😀

One thing I have been patiently waiting for is the day that Ace gets old enough to go fishing. I’m sure he would go now, but I would spend more time keeping him from jumping in the water than actually fishing. 😀

We were walking though the store on day and happened to stroll by the aquariums. Ace was immediately amazed by the colorful fish he kept pointing and saying “FIIIISSSSHHHH”. Then he had to grab my finger and pull my over to show me. From that day forward Ace is hypnotized by fish in an aquarium.

So, when Christmas came, Momma and I just knew what Santa was going to bring Ace. And Jolly ole’ Saint Nick pulled through for the little guy…

Ace Watching The Fish

So, while we can not yet go fishing and try the Bert and Ernie fish call…we have been practicing on the fishies at home. By the time Ace is old enough to go fishing with me we should have the fish call down pat. 😀

Around The Web:

I’m going to try and link out more often to other interesting things I find on the web including new sites I find, funny posts, or anything I find interesting and think you may enjoy or find useful. So, here goes my first attempt at “Around The Web” …

Dad-Blogs.com – Remember Joeprah? He’s been AWOL for the past few months, but I have recently found out there was a good reason. He was hard at work making his new site…Dad-Blogs.com. Go check it out. It looks very promising with the ability to create your own profiles, upload images, share videos, create groups, and comment on everything! Come on over and join the community. 😀

Dude To Dad – Dude To Dad is another group for Dads that I found recently. You have to check out this site as well. The reason behind this group site for Dads is to help explain the transition between being just a Dude and growing into a Dad. My favorite part of the site was the video…Boobs Or Bottles. 😀
