April 17th - The zoo
The lions were close to the glass.
And of course, another trip on the carousel.
My little prairie dogs...
April 15th - Zero gravity
After a year and a half break, I'm back to flying. This week, we had groups of college students flying their experiments on the Zero G Corp 727. It was great to be flying again.
April 8th - Sea World again
Somehow these monkeys got in the fish tank.
More fun on the carousel. 
Ronny put together a little steel drum band. They will give SH2K a run for their money.
It was time to introduce the boys to a roller coaster and I thought the Shamu Express would be right up their alley. 
We had time for one last show - Clyde and Seamore - a sea lion show.

April 7th - Magic Kingdom
Today we went to Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. We had a great time - starting with the Dumbo ride.
There's nothing like a good sunscreen faux-hawk with sweet, fine baby hair.
I love Cinderella's carousel. All of the horses are white. They all go up and down. And there is rarely much of a wait.
We took the kids on Pirates of the Caribbean for the first time. Josie was taking her morning nap, so she wasn't too scared. Jack was less thrilled with the "skeleton robots" and ended up with his fingers in his ears and his head on his lap. He was fine afterwards, though. Charlie liked it and wanted to go again.
After Pirates, we went on the Jungle Cruise. It is a nice little boat ride, but the spray from a waterfall woke Josie up.
Next we went on the Magic Carpets of Aladdin. I tried to get Ronny sprayed by the camel, but I'm pretty sure I was the only one who got doused.
We LOVE riding on Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. You get to shoot aliens with a laser gun and spin your car around - doubly fun. This is one of the three rides where Josie cried when I took her off the ride. The others were the carousel and the tea cups.
For the first time we rode the Carousel of Progress. Could also be the last time we ride the Carousel of Progress.
After lunch we went back to the hotel for naps. As you can see, the boys were wiped out. If only they would have actually taken naps!
Grumpy 111 is the row we parked in. I always take a picture of our row in case we can't remember. Jack remembered a bit too well and when the tea cup ride was done had a pretty good meltdown right there in the cup. Apparently HE wanted to OPEN THE DOOR!!! I tried to get a picture of him laying down on the bench, but I couldn't get my camera out in time. Here he is slamming the door so that he could open it again. Classic. See how red that face is? Now that's good stuff. Don't you wish you were here?
I love how the castle is lit up at night. It changes colors and is beautiful.

April 6th - Sea World & the pirate pool
Today we took the family to Sea World for the first time. The first thing we did is go feed the dolphins. Jack fed them one fish before getting down off the wall. He said he was afraid of tipping over into the water. Charlie and I loved feeding them. They would stick around long enough for you to touch them under the chin.
We got to see manatees, which were huge and graceful. They were having some lettuce for breakfast.
Here we are waiting for the dolphin show to start. The show was called Blue Horizons and it was the best thing we saw at Sea World.
Here we are at the Shamu show. The orca whales were beautiful.
Ronny came up with a new way of fitting 3 kids onto our double stroller.
After nap time, we hit the hotel pool. It was perfect for the kids with a pirate ship to play on and lots of shallow water.
