We had SO MUCH FUN over Spring Break! In the beginning of the week the Littles stayed with their grandparents, and the Teens hung out with friends. Then we went to Busch Gardens, and then Clearwater Beach. Tim's friend Brendon came with us. We had a blast, and I have tons of pics!
Andrew
Elayna and Zoe (from Busch Gardens' new Sesame Street Safari!)
We went to Timbuktu!
This gorilla was amazing.
He was so expressive and human-like.
He was posing for the cameras!
My kids are clowns....
Andrew was pretending to eat bugs off of the monkey in front of him.
Elayna fit right in with the chimps!
This chimp was amazing too.
He would sit and stare at the waterfall, seeming to be deep in thought.
Monkeying around again....
While we were eating lunch,
this mama duck led her babies right by our table!
Elephants are so darned cute!
I can't remember what kind of bird this was.
But he was very neat-looking!

that may or may not be me on the carousel with the Littles...

And now we move on to Clearwater Beach!
They had a huge fun area set up for the kids to play on....
which cost us an arm and 2 or 3 legs....

All four of my kiddos....and I didn't even have to pay them to pose for me!
....and this is how the trip ended. Exhausted, happy kids. WIN!
**Between vacation and moving, I'm so behind on my blog reading & commenting. As much as I want to catch up, it's just not possible! But I promise I'll be back around ASAP!**

Just declare 'Blog Bankruptcy' and to on from that point. If you go back and try to 'catch up' and they keep posting and you keep trying to catch up.... It's just too much stress. Get moved, get settled and then click the 'mark all read' button on your RSS reader. Your stress level will thank you ;)
Looks like an amazing vacation!
Yeah, that is what the "mark all as read" button is for on Google Reader! I'm always worried I might miss something though!
so glad you had a nice vacation.
and yes, happy exhausted kids are wonderful!
It really truly looks like a wonderful vacation! I love the little family of ducks.
The photo of the kids from the back is frameworthy!
Wow I wish our spring break was that exciting! They really had all that set up on the beach???
what a great vacation! looks like lots of fun, wanna adopt me?
Aww I love all those pics. Especially those last two. They just sum up a whole vacation!
Happy Monday!
It looks like you guys had a blast.
I say you don't worry about catching up. Just clear your reader out and start over. Remember it's supposed to be fun, not a chore.
Take a vacation from the Reader too.. MAAR is your friend. There's no law that says you have to actually read every post!
Love the turtle and monkey shots. Looks like you all had a fabulous time!
Looks like a fabulous spring break. Are you exhausted now???
Oh gosh! What a wonderful Spring Break you all had.
We've been to Clearwater several times. I love it there. They never had a cool set up like that though!
OMG, it looks like you guys had SO MUCH fun! It sounds like you had a wonderful spring break, and even moving wasn't too bad!
xo
I'm behind on my reading too but I'm trying to catch up :) I loved all your pictures but the duck family was my favorite lol It looks like y'all had lots of fun!
What a fun time!!! That beach looked beautiful! Ahhh how I can't wait for some consistant nice weather here!
These pics are AWESOME! I love the photo catch-up post. Hope the moving stuff is going well. I'm glad you had some downtime to gear up for the stress :)
Your kids are adorable.
What fun! Love that set-up on the beach.
So glad you had a great time!! I can't pick out my favorite pic.. they are all so good!
We've done this exact same vacation and have some of the exact same photos! (The gorilla grooming one! )
The new Sesame Street area wasn't open when we were there in January ... bummer.
And it wasn't warm enough to go in the water at Clearwater Beach.
Looks like you all had a great time!
It looks like you had a wonderful spring break! GREAT photos!

Wow that looks like so much fun!! I love the spring break in the sand. And oh my gosh that is my favorite of them holding hands! Ok a toss between that and him eating bugs out of the monkey's hairs ... lol
