I forgot my camera the day we went to the Children's museum in Daytona, so I used my phone instead.  It was a great museum with an old fashioned soda fountain, a train, and an incredible children's area!  There's also a couple of random pictures of the Aubrey in her beach chair in the ocean and all 3 holding their chocolate from the chocolate factory!

 After being at the beach all day, what did that want to do?  Play in the sandbox!

 There was even a putt putt course where we stayed!

 It was so hot but they didn't care!

 Turn your club around, Aubrey!

 Andrew had the same problem but he eventually figured it out.

 We were the top right, the window on the side of the building all the way around to the 2nd window from the right.  It was huge!

 Lighthouse at Ponce De Leon.

 The boys wandering around one of the many buildings.

 They look so small!

 Aubrey stopping on her way up to look out one of the windows.

 Davis & Aubrey at the top.

 Aubrey was hot & grumpy so she wouldn't look at the camera.

 Davis took this one!

 Sea World!!!

 Manta rays, Andrew's favorite.

 Dolphin show.

 They were so excited!

 Aubrey loved the girl in the pink who was doing ballet in the air.

 The dolphins were amazing!

 Jumping!

 Andrew wanted to touch one but he just got too scared at the last minute.

 Dolphins swimming up close.

 Sea lion & otter show.  The pirates were hilarious!

 Huge walrus!

 Aubrey on the carousel, one of the 2 rides she was tall enough to ride.  She was devastated she couldn't ride the roller coasters.  Just 2 inches too short!

 Tea cups, the other ride she could ride.  Somehow we all 4 fit in this tiny ride.

 Up we go!  That's Davis' head right there.

Davis made us dizzy, he was twirling us so fast!

We went to Palm Coast, FL for our beach trip this year.  It was a whirlwind of a trip!  We saw whales jumping in the ocean, visited a lighthouse (which both Andrew & Aubrey could climb up to the top), a chocolate factory (yum), and Sea World, as well as going to the beach 3 days.  Sea World was a definite favorite, Andrew was in heaven!  It was a hot week but all three children were troopers and never once complained of being hot.  Andrew had a cold, and Aubrey had Swimmer's Ear and they never complained about either of those things!
