Vacation Day 4 (evening) and Day 5 - the drive home.
This is the only evidence of the cute Mickey Mouse headband. Ella ate it just a few hours later.
Ella decided she loves Minnie Mouse. I don't even know where she learned about Minnie Mouse, but she knew who she is and had to have her!
About 8 hours into the 16 hour drive home, we stopped to eat. Ella had spaghetti.
We got home about 1am on July 19. The vacation was exciting, fun, and tiring. We were glad to be home.

Vacation Day 4 - Cocoa Beach
Daddy and Ella in the waves.
Mommy and Ella.
"Who cares about the ocean, open these fruit snacks!!"
"Let's surf!"
"What are you waiting for, I'm getting in the water!"
Surprisingly, Ella loved the ocean. She jumped in the waves, wanted to go deeper, and played in the sand. We will make the beach a primary stop on our next vacation!

Vacation Day 3 - Busch Gardens
The "Land of the Dragons" was the only fun thing in Busch Gardens.
This is Ella being scared after going down that HUGE hill!
Woo! Flying in a Dragon with Mommy!
Ella drives the boat...about 15 times.
Sittin' on the tortoise.
Busch Gardens kind of sucked. Chuck and I realized we are old because the one roller coaster we rode made me sick for about 2 hours and gave Chuck a raging headache.

Vacation Day 2 - Sea World!
"Believe" was an awesome show!
Shamu was easily twice as big as the females in the show.
This is the one ride Ella could go on in Sea World. And she didn't even really like it.
But she loved the Clydesdales! His name is Kelly.
The Clyde and Seamore show was really cute - Clyde and Seamore are the Sea Lions.
You have no idea how hard it is to take pictures of dolphins. They are too fast!!
Standing on the noses of marine mammals is very popular at Sea World.
Ella's favorite part - she got a whale and some suckers!!
She then proceeded to lick the whale...
"Shamu Rocks" was definitely worth sticking around for.
Sea World was great! Ella loved all the shows (so did we), and seeing the whales and dolphins was truly awesome.

Vacation Day 1 - The long drive and Downtown Disney
At 4am, Ella was a little too excited about watching Spongebob on Stella's portable DVD player.
We stopped at High Falls just south of Atlanta for a nice, peaceful breakfast.
Ella liked Pooh and friends at Downtown Disney.
"You just paid $3 for this huge Nemo cookie, but I don't want it now."

Anna update!
Anna is officially walking now! She consistently takes 5 or so steps at a time and has even been known to take 7 steps in a row. Woo Hoo! She will be chasing Ella and returning all those pecks on the head in no time! By the way, she is just a smidge over 10 months now - a full 3-4 months ahead of Ella on the walking front. Not that it is a contest.
On a side note, we are heading out to Florida (Sea World and Busch Gardens) tomorrow night. I hope to be able to update the blog with a few pictures, but who knows if we'll have time. Anna is staying with Papaw and Nana, so Ella will have Mommy and Daddy all to herself. She is very excited about this prospect - almost as excited as seeing "big whales," not that she really has a clue what a "big whale" is. Well, anyway it should be fun!
