Joyce and Jed: Marine World

With all of this rainy weather, we've been having to cancel a lot of our trips that we had planned. Fortunately though, there was a small break in weather so we were able to take the kids to Marine World with my brothers and their friends.

The kids had so much fun. They both were so excited as soon as they saw it. Chloe was the first to react and all she said was "Whoa!" and that set Elijah off. He started jumping up and down in his seat and couldn't wait to get out and get into the park. As soon as we got into the park we saw Wile E. Coyote and Porky Pig so we took the kids over to say hi. Chloe's reaction was so funny. As soon as she saw Wile E. Coyote she started to scream, so he walked away and pretended to have his feelings hurt, then she calmed down until she turned around and saw Porky Pig on her other side and the screaming started over again. Elijah was just so happy to see them, even though I don't think he really knows who they are.

After getting the kids pictures with the characters, my brothers took the kids over to Looney Tunes Town so Jed and I could go ride on some roller coasters. We were only able to ride on Medusa by the time the kids rode on all the rides they had in Looney Tunes, but it was still a lot of fun. After lunch we took the kids to see the different animals. Elijah's been so excited to see the whale. He's been getting into whales since he watched Little Einsteins and they had a whale on the show. He also really enjoyed the tiger show.

We found another part of the park that had toddler rides so Elijah raced to each of them and had a blast. We tried to get Chloe to ride on some of them but she just screamed the entire time, so we only tortured her with two rides. Elijah wanted to ride on cars the entire day so when he found the jeeps he was so excited and even Chloe loved the ride.
