Love your first update. Can't wait to hear about your seaworld day. Your Trevor reminds me of my Anthony. He has his hair just like that right now too. How old is Trevor again?

Yucky to arrive in the rain and sorry to hear your flight was less than simple! Could have been worse, it still sounds like you guys managed to have a nice first day.

The bathtub pic is adorable. She looks sooo excited. And how cute people noticed Elliot on the plane. He is adorable!

Ok so just had to say...my daughter was just walking by the computer and said. "oh my god that boy looks like Anthony" I said I know that's what I was just typing! Lol.

And I just went back to your first page for his age. My stepson will be 15 this august! Here's a pic. His hair was a little longer in this pic

sorry you had a rough time with the plane trip and weather!

Megan was sad to leave that night too, she says to tell them Hi and give them a BIG HUG!!!

Tell Megan Hi back!! I can't believe a stranger just came up and gave them money, it was too sweet!!

I love your photos and that tub one is too cute!!!! I can't wait to read more!

Thank you, I was scared the tub would overflow!

luvin your first day report. Sorry the plane was bad getting to orlando and bad weather.

WooHoo you started. Love the bath tub picture. We have one like that too but we couldn't see the kids at all

OMG, I can't imagine any more bubbles!

Great start...it is so fun to get to read others TR. Sounds like a really fun first day! I'll look forward to reading more.

Thanks! I hope to get back to reading other reports again soon!

I'm enjoying reading already and reliving.
We were in #250 on our trip!
Can't wait to read more!!!

Wow, right next door! It was awesome having the playground right across the street!

Well, it wouldn't be a proper flight if there wasn't some drama involved. Great pics--especially that last one of Addison in the tub. Hilarious!

Anywhere we go we have a tendency to have some drama anyway!

Reading these things brings me to tears!! Looks like you had a lot of FUN inspite of a few bumps!!

Yeah, none of the bumps really mattered because everything was awesome!

Thanks! Day 2 is coming up!

Bubble bath time!!! Great phot of Addison, she is buried in there.

I love it, still can't believe there were that many bubbles!!

We woke up to sunshine and blue skies!!! Everyone was up and off to the gingerbread house for breakfast. After eating Addison looked at Mrs. Claus' chair and said she wished she could sit in it... I told her she could and her whole face lit up! All three kids decided to pile in together.

After breakfast we went over to the Castle of Miracles to see Curious George and the Man in the Yellow hat. The kids were so surprised that George was not a small little monkey!

After that we had to ride the carousel... twice!

think he is already tired of the camera?!?

Next we stopped by The Clayton's house but they were not in. The door was open so we made ourselves at home.

then we stopped for a bite of some cookies...

Finally, we were off to Sea World! Just after getting our stroller we ran into Shamu and had to stop for pictures

Sea World allows Wish kids and their families to have free fish to feed to the sharks, dolphins and stingrays so we decided to fed the sharks next!

Addison didn't want any part of touching those dead gross fish so she dumped her container straight into the water, but Elliot had no problem handling them!

Next we made our way over to Shamu's Happy Harbor for some kiddie rides.

this one is Elliot's favorite!

Next up was the Shamu Believe showhere we got to see 5 whales swim together at the same time, included the 5 month old baby!

The kids were already getting cranky, it was hot and crowded but there was no way we were leaving without feeding the dophins so we headed that way next. We stood in line until a Cast Member realized what we were doing and directed us to the exit. We received 4 trays of fish and the dolphins were all over us. Elliot loved feeding them and was grabbing fish and throwing them to them quickly!

We couldn't get any to come up for us to pet them so I found a trainer and asked if she could help. She called one up on the side of the wall and everyone got to rub his side, it was amazing!

After that, I took Addie and Elliot to the gift shop while Craig and Trevor rode Manta. They were able to go in the exit and ride with the fast pass people. We left after that because the kids were done.

We got back to the village, grabbed some Katie's Kitchen for lunch, went back to the villa and ate. Craig decided he needed a nap so I took the kids to the pool. After swimming for an hour or so we went back and got cleaned up and got daddy up. Then we caught a ride on a cart and headed up for an ice cream cone. We wanted to go play putt putt but it was closed due to flooding from all the rain. Instead we went for a train ride and played with some remote control boats.

Then it was time for the Pirate and Princess Party so we started heading towards the pool. We saw the Cookie Cart and had to have some cookies, which were so delicious!! Addison was dressed as a princess, received a crown and got her face painted.

Elliot decided against painting, but got a bandana. We met a really sweet family that was here to hang out, their son (angel) had his trip in 2004 and we talked to them several times throughout the night. Elliot had a blast with them. Around that time my mom and sister arrived! Princess Dolly the Dolphin and Pirate Shamu wandered our way...

After the excitement of the party wore off we decided to go over to The Castle of Miracles so the kids could make their pillows.

Me, mom, Allie (my sister) and Addison had our picture taken in the castle thrones

Trevor and Elliot squeezed in another quick ride on the carousel. We headed back to the villa and ordered pizza. The kids ate while they watched Tangled and then we hurried them into their pajamas. They had a very special surprise coming and we refused to tell them what it was. Just a little later there was a knock at the door and when Elliot answered it, he was greated by Mayor Clayton and Mrs. Mary, both in their jammies!! The kids were so excited and we hung out in the living room for a little bit. Elliot at first refused to talk because the rabbit's were not talking. He gave out silly bands to both of them and we all had a lot of fun.

Next we all went to the bedroom so the bunnies could tuck the kids into bed for the night. It was a hilarious time, with the Mayor jumping on the bed and being a silly rabbit. The kids had a blast and I caught most of it on video!

After the bunnies left we got everyone calmed down and back to bed. Tomorrow is full of more surprises and fun!

Looks like so much fun!! We too are getting a double stroller...Did you take yours with you or did you get one at each of the parks and leave that one there?

MAW reserved us that stroller, but I couldn't turn it so we ended up leaving it in the van and rented them in each park. With a couple jackets, etc Elliot was still able to nap in the stroller. I guess I had no idea how you have to tilt a jogging stroller up to turn.

Hayden would freak out if he got to meet Curious George and the Man in the Yellow hat.
Loving your report so far.
Sorry about the stroller there is a little thing on the front tire that you move up and down it would release the tire then it would turn easier

The tire popped off when I tried that!

Love the photo of the kids in the bunny house.....Trevor is such a good big brother, he looks huge sitting on the sofa!

The photo of the boys on the bubble ride is so cute....Elliot looks so tiny!

Isn't the Shamu show fun! we saw it in 2003 in SanDiego! love that you got to pet the dolphins and feed them all!

The video is funny, the Mayor sure loves his job!

 

[sgarrity]

I am enjoying reading your report. I love the way your older son is looking out for the younger. I am sure as siblings they may not always get along. But when it counts they do.

 

[mom2pixies]

Love the TR so far. Great photos! Love the one of the kids in the bunny house. Love that Trevor was getting into the typically 'kiddy' things like dressing up like pirates and hanging out in tiny houses and having fun with it. Love that Addison is too girly to touch dead fish. Love that Elliot was too polite to talk in front of the Claytons when they don't speak!

The kids look like they were having a blast.

Loving your TR and the pictures. The kids looked so cute in their Seaworld outfits.

Trevor really was amazing on this trip, sometimes he tries to hide in his room to avoid playing but on the trip he was into everything with them
