Birthday

Tuesday was Scott's birthday. So to celebrate we went to my in-laws for a bb-q. It was nice, just our family, my in-laws and his Grandmother. I was happy that his Grandmother was able to come over. It's not very often we get to see her.
I always think about how lucky Payton is, let alone Scott. My Grandparents all died when I was very young. So I didn't get to spend much time with them. My Grandfather died in my teens, but we moved to FL when I was 13 and that was the last time I saw him. But Payton has 2 sets of Grandparents and a Great-Grandmother! A Great-Grandmother, that just amazes me. And even though she is not Jessica's biological Great-Grandmother, Jessica still loves her just the same. Payton actually let me take a few pictures of the 2 of them. I didn't get any of Jes and her because her tummy was too full of all the good food and slept most of the time on the couch.

Mickey's Not So Spooky Halloween

Last weekend we stayed a few days in Orlando and visited all of the theme parks. The first night there we went to DisneyWorld for the Mickey's Not So Spooky Halloween. Jessica and Natalie went of on there own, so I didn't get many pics of them. But I did get plenty of Payton. One special picture I got was of her with Donald and Daisey Duck. Before we even left for vacation, she said of all the characters she wanted to see that night was Donald. Well they were the ONLY characters that we saw there. What luck!

Here are a few pics of our night...

Now, I can't wait for Mickey's Very Merry Chistmas! :)

New Baby Killer Whale at SeaWorld

We went to SeaWorld yesterday afternoon for the Trick or Treat celebration. It was super crowded! We got there late, around 4:30. We headed to the trick or treat area first, then to the kid's area and then made our way to the shark area. By then it was 7:10pm, so we headed towards the Sky Tower. We heard an announcement ... "Shamu 7:30 show is cancelled" but no reason was given.
After what seemed like a forever of a wait, we finally get on the Tower. The lady working it told us that a Killer Whale was just born!!! Just minutes ago, and that is why it was cancelled. They haven't even made an announcement yet, so it was nice that she shared that exciting news with us.
With the tower going around, it was hard to capture the whales, but I was able to get a shot of the baby (10 mins old!!!) swimming next to the mom. I wish I could have gotten a cleaner shot, but it was still exciting to be there during this time and to be up above to see them swimming around the tank together.

Here's an article I found. Apparently the Mother is also the Mom of the whale that just died last monday. That was pretty sad.
