From our SeaWorld trip today, a behind the scene’s look at how to train a killer whale. I always wondered how they did this.

Grandma also got the kids some fish so they could feed the dolphins.
And he was finally tall enough to ride his first real rollercoaster!
Today the kids and I met some friends down at the Kiddie Park. It may not look like much, but the kids always seem to have a great time. It’s also a neat adventure to teach them a little history about the area. The Kiddie Park has been around since 1925 and the Carousel was even featured on a postage stamp in the 80’s apparently.
Here they are living it up on some “old-fashioned” carnival style rides….
Driving the boat!
Shooting the bad guys!

Riding the WILD & CRAZY bus and more boat action with friends!
All in all is was a fun day at the Kiddie Park. The summer sun stayed behind the clouds just long enough for us to enjoy the morning on the rides, share a picnic lunch with friends and one last round of rides before heading home.
We’ve been having a hard time getting Dalton to eat much of anything the last few weeks. So to encourage him to eat, I thought I would let the kids create their own dinner earlier this week. We had some dipping sauce left overs from pizza the other night, cheese galore from a dinner party we hosted over the weekend, some pepperoni the kids were tiring of for lunches and after some rummaging, decided a can of biscuits could serve as the crust.
What’s more fun that making your own personal little pizzas?!?

Enjoying some yummy dinner!
Both kids loved making dinner. Addie helps often, but I’m pretty sure Dalton would be fine if food were an option on most days. Having him help seemed to do the trick on this particular night. I guess I’ll have to come up with more ideas of having him help in the future.
