Aquatica

Finally uploaded some pics from our trip to Aquatica. It took forever to get my underwater film camera back! Oh my gosh I hate film cameras! Digital cameras are the BEST! We had such a great trip!!! We left on Monday morning early and headed down to Orlando. We wanted to get there right when the park opened to avoid lines and get good seats/chairs near the kid's area. Maddy had been up most of the night the night before sick and not feeling well with an ear infection so she slept pretty much the whole drive there. Which was nice because I got caught p on my sleep too! Poor Matt having to drive!

We got there and went right in, practically no lines and got our chairs then hit the water! We went in Loggerhead Lane first which is like a lazy river. You have rafts and float around. he awesome thing about this is it had two different tunnels that you go under. he first tunnel has dolphins swimming around and you are right up close to them! The second tunnel (and Maddy's FAVORITE) they have tons of tropical fish! As soon as Maddy saw the fish she had that finger up and was pointing like crazy! She loves to watch fish!!!! I took her right up close to the fish and she was just babbling away! Then when it was time to leave and finish the lazy river she was crying because she didn't want to leave the fish!

Next we went in Roa's Rapids which is again like a lazy river except it is super fast, we loved this it was almost like you were skiing in the water how fast it was! The rest of the morning afternoon was spent in the kiddie area and the guys took the boys on the bigger slides. Mad's took a little nap in her stroller and then we went to have lunch at one of the places in the park where it was buffet style all day. Before we left we went in the big Wave Pool where Maddy started falling asleep on me with the huge waves swaying us back and forth, she was exhausted.

Around 2 we left the park to check into our hotel and put the little ones down for a nap. Ok who are we kidding we all took a nap! Woke up at 5:30 and headed back to the water park for the rest of the evening. When we got back we went into the 2nd area where Maddy found her 2nd favorite thing at Aquatics, the inter tubes that were closed on the bottom! She loved this because she could play around without having to be held the whole time so she was happy as can be! I have got to find one of those for home! About 9:30 at night we headed home to go to sleep!

The next day we went the Orlando Outlets then to Downtown Disney where we ate at Rainforest Cafe- one of our absolute favorite places to eat! Then shopped at all the Disney shopped took Maddy for an ice ream and headed home. What a fun trip! Wish we could have stayed longer!
