sea world, yummy find and a music festival

After the conference, we got to take the boys to Sea World. I was a little anxious about the trip because we were going to be arriving smack in the middle of Shep's nap (so he wouldn't be getting one) and to make matters worse, Conner had woken everyone up before 6 am that morning. After a pretty rough morning around the hotel, we made it to Sea World and except for a few meltdowns, it was a blast. I'm so glad we went.

Here is Conner enjoying the new Sesame Street Bay of Play area.



The boys had their first carousel ride. I think we ended up riding it 3-4 times.

I think Conner is going to be a roller coaster fan!

They had four killer whales, including a baby.

Waiting for the Sesame Street musical to begin.

Shep was pretty much in awe, but had a huge meltdown we he didn't actually get to meet Elmo. I was afraid it ruined the trip for him;)

Yikes!

Sooooo...now the yummy find. In the last Real Simple magazine they were rating different real fruit Popsicles. I LOVE anything coconut, so I was dying to try these AND I found them at Whole Foods last night AND my husband bought them for me. They are DIVINE.

Zack left super early this morning for a music festival in Maine. He will be gone for an entire month! Though neither of us are crazy about the separation, it's a great opportunity for him! He has never participated in a festival before and many of them are only available for students, so it's his last chance. He'll have lessons, go to concerts, have a piece performed and compose like crazy. If you think of us, pray for our family during this month. Pray that Zack will have a productive time, I'll have patience and energy!
