Florida Trip - Part 6 - Dinosaur World

Florida Trip - Part 5 - Seaworld

We saw string rays, dolphins, sharks and exotic birds.  We were trapped under a canopy area when a torrential downpour started.  We saw the Shamu show.  And then a few days later, Doug and Peter went back to see the sharks again and to ride the carousel.

Florida Trip - Part 4 - The Condo

The condo was located in Kissimmee, Florida about 15 minutes from the Renaissance Marriot at Seaworld where Doug's conference was being held.

There were SCADS of little lizards running around outside and Peter loved running up to sunning lizards and scaring them away.

There was a pool in the condo complex with nice warm water and a fountain.  Nearby there was a playground area and a beach volleyball court where Peter played in the sand.

A few blocks away from the condo was a souvenir shop that was disguised as a wizard.  We walked there one evening when it was lit up...

Florida Trip - Part 3 - Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge

Florida Trip - Part 2

This must be the Chattanooga Choo Choo.  Both Peter and Elliot had a ball at this vehicle-themed play area at a Chattanooga mall.

Florida Trip - Part 1 - The Indianapolis Children's Museum

We got up early this morning and drove to our first stop - the Indianapolis Children's Museum.  This is a great museum with exhibits featuring many of Peter's favorite things.


Dinosaurs:  Here Peter is fitting plastic bones and teeth into their rubber molds while Elliot watches from his stroller.

Trains:  There was a model train running in a case.  The kids could climb under the track into a series of "caves" and they could pop their heads up into bubbles to see other parts of the track.

 There were many train cars on display and Peter stared at them enthralled.

Sand:  There was a huge Playscape exhibit designed from kids 0 - 5 and it had large sand and water play areas.

More Trains:  Also in the Playscape there was a train play area that included toy trains and a hand powered train car that Peter was just strong enough to move.

 

Elliot entertained himself in the padded baby area with his favorite activity - eating his shoes.

 

To The Farm

The boys and I spent some time with my parents this past week and while there we went to the farm.  A good time was had by all even though it was COLD.
