Beach bums



We went to Sarasota on Friday for one of my best friends weddings. The wedding was absolutely beautiful. The boys played on the beach on Saturday and we were able to hang out with the bride and groom and her family for a bit as well. It was a great way to end a fantastic week.










Day Four-In the Rain!





I think the boys were more excited about going to Universal Islands of Adventure than they were Disney. Don't know if I've mentioned it, but my boys are crazy about super heroes (all three of them). And not just any super heroes, Marvel Super Heroes specifically. They loved every single thing about this park. It was unfortunate that it was not just raining while we were there, it was a flat out storming. We made the best of it, put on our ponchos and went on our way enjoying Seuss Landing, Wizarding World of Harry Potter (my favorite!) and of course the Marvel gift shops and 4D Spiderman ride. Ryan, Jeremy and I even rode another roller coaster there!

This is the park that the kids keep talking about. Owen liked the pajamas I got him at a gift shop, and the Red Fish, Blue Fish ride that finally reopened before we left. (It was closed due to the rain.) Ben loved the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey that took us through Hogwarts. I must say, it was my favorite too! They are already asking when we can go back.






hanging out at the pool




 We took a day off from the amusement parks to regroup and spent the day lounging around. When it stopped raining, we took the kids to the pool at the resort we stayed at.
