Daytona Beach

On Sunday before we flew home we rented a car and drove out to Daytona Beach! We all wished we had more time there. The boys had a great time in the ocean. We even got to collect a few shells. Jared and I were in awe while we were at Daytona Beach. The boys just loved swimming Ethan running to be the first in the ocean

Lizard!

The boys were fascinated by the lizards down in Florida. They wanted to see if they could catch them. I told them that they were fast but to try if they wanted. I did not think that they would catch any. They proved me wrong. A close up of the lizard that the boys caught
Kellen with the lizard. I wanted to get one of Ethan and the lizard too but when Kellen gave it to Ethan the lizard bit his thumb and got away

The boys are in this picture somewhere. They stepped on the pads and music would play. They loved it! I thought it was kind of like that huge piano in the movie BIG
This ride would have been great. But, we did not get to do the whole thing. The ride broke down while we were in it. It looked like it was getting interesting at that point

We saw a show called It's Tough To Be A Bug. It was 4D. There were smells, water squirting, things poking you in the back and butt, and things flying right at you. It was GREAT! We saw it twice! It was entertaining and air conditioned! The above picture is Ethan in the 3D glasses
