It's been a while since I've updated. We've been busy with lots of stuff going on between preschool, hockey, and going to Florida with a bunch of other stuff mixed in! I'm going to post pictures in a couple of different posts because I simply have too many to go through.
Our trip was great! I was most nervous about the plane ride. Not so much Meredith, but I was afraid Anna would screech or scream the whole way down. I was next to her on the way down and she did pretty darn good. She had her own seat and we did strap her in her car seat so I think that helped as she's used to being good when she's in her car seat. I went armed with tons of snacks. And when she did get antsy, I let her play on the iPad. She loves just looking at pictures and movies. And I was AMAZED at all the junk we were able to haul through the airport without a cart. Two large suitcases, two carseats, diaper bag, camera bag, stroller, & Meredith's backpack which she wheeled herself.
As for what we did, I was not even tempted in the least to go to some mega tourist attraction (AKA Disney World, Sea World, etc.). Yay! We ended up doing some great things where we were virtually the only people there most of the time! Pure bliss I tell you.
The next day after we arrived, we headed to Weeki Wachee Spring State Park to see the Mermaid shows. There were probably only 50-75 people there that day and it was delightful. First off, the park was full of peacocks. They are everywhere! And they come up to your table and beg for food like rodents.
This was a set of Christmas decorations that actually spelled Mermaids but I thought it was cute for Mer to sit on the first three blocks.
We were inside the underwater theater here ready for one of the mermaid shows.
This is about as good as it gets for my mermaid pictures. You can see the three of them in there. It is actually quite an amazing show they do.
And then the girls got to sit for a picture with a mermaid!
Cute picture of them playing with each other.
In case anyone was wondering, yes, I was in Florida too. A horrible picture but there I am!
Last but not least, we got Grandpa Carlson to pose as Poseidon. You can't see his face very well in this picture though.
Stay tuned for more pictures of the things we did in the next week or so!
