Florida Vacation Day#3

Day 3 started bright and early for the older kids and Dean. They were all going deep sea fishing.  I  get so seasick I  opted to stay back with the younger boys.  The kids had so much fun catching fish...well I  should say after the seasickness wore off for some.  It was rough there for awhile for Shaylee.  They each caught plenty of fish, and at the end of the trip Preston pulled in a shark.  They were able to take their catches and have them cut and cleaned so we could grill them up at a restaurant later that night.  While the big kids and Dean were gone the boys and I  meet up with Leslie her sister and Owen to go to the little aquarium there.  The boys loved watching all the animals and seeing them up close.  We first hit up a dolphin show and the boys loved watching the dolphins jump around and do tricks.  We then headed outside to look for seals, turtles, otters, gators, penguins and more.  The boys favorite was a seal that was playing against the glass with them.  He would follow their hands wherever they put them on the glass.  The boys each took turns watching the seal follow them wherever they went.  We got a picture with a parrot and Brecken was brave enough to hold it for the picture.  We then made it over to the touch aquarium but my boys wanted nothing to do with touching the sting ray or the starfish.  We then made it over to the seal show and the boys thought it was hilarious.  They couldn't stop laughing at the funny things the seals did.  We then went onto the alligator area and then went back inside to look into some of the little fish and seahorses and other things they have inside.  The boys had a blast and we headed back home stopping for lunch.  They others made it home before us and were all sleeping.  I  took the boys to the pool so they could all rest up.  After the pool we went inside to get ready to all go to dinner at a restaurant that would cook and serve our fish.  The seafood lovers were so excited for this.  Me not so much.  I  ended up getting some veggie roman and it was one of the worse things Ive ever put in my mouth.  I  was starving but only could try a couple bites before I  threw in the towel.  Landon and Brecken didn't care for theirs either.  Everyone else loved their food and the restaurant was so nice and fast cooking everything up.  Everyone loved the fish they cooked up and said it was the best they had.  After dinner we went back for pictures on the beach at sunset which we missed.  Oh, well. Then headed out for some Ice Cream.  Poor Landon's face in these ice cream pictures are so red and burnt. We all came home and feel asleep fast from our long days.
