Today marks the first day of my blog challenge on www.thescrapbookstand.com I am excited for this daily challenge because as you look at my past posts...I really have been so busy to update daily. I want that to change.

Imiss being able to check back at my entries. As many know you forget things if they are not written down sometimes...I am one of those types of people...I have freakin notes EVERY where it seems,LOL!

Well the first challenge is to write about your favorite family memory and include a photo(s). So here is my photo. Not a good one but the best we could get having a stranger take our pic,lol! Either way it is nice to have this pic! We have VERY few photos with all 4 of us together.

The favorite memory is when we recently took the kids to Seaworld. OMG if you have not been to Seaworld you MUST go! It is my favorite place...amazing! I was sad that we had only planned to have one day there! So we were there literally the entire day that they were open. I know we still missed some things, but maybe another time!

We all had such a great time. There is honestly nothing better than being able to fully enjoy each other and enjoy what you are doing! It was a perfect day. I was able to get alot of good photos. That I have yet had the time to scrap (hate that) but I hope to some day!

We watched a couple of the shows...our favorite was the Clyde and Seamore (?) show...OMG it was so good we watched it 2x that day,LOL! We were (some what) bummed that we couldn't go up in the needle tower (not sure what its called) to see the entire seaworld. I am afraid of heights so I was OK with not being able to go due to the wind. OMG it was freaky looking up at it and seeing it literally swaying in the wind, Ackkk! LOL!

The weather was perfect. Warm with a slight breeze to stay the perfect temp! The day was perfect! The kids loved the sharks, whales, polar bears and dolphins. We all wanted to swim with the dolphins and feed the sharks but we couldn't find the area they were in. Honestly I do not know how we would have had the time to do them anyhow,LOL!

What a day...my knee did pretty good. Which was great because it allowed me to walk alot with a mediocre amount of swelling and bruising. And just a bit of limping. THe next day was hell though! Really bad as I think I pushed my self toooo much, I had bruising from the thigh to the calf area and swelling, major swelling. But I was able to fully enjoy the day at Seaworld!

OMG I almost forgot the McCracken ride,LOL....I cannot go on rides because I barf! So Jon and the boys went on it while I held everything waiting to snap some shots. Of which never came...dang camera batteries went dead! Argh! Anyhow we bought the photos that the cameras take, you know the ones they have mounted on certain areas of the ride. ROFLOL well we got the best photo ever from them. Jesse my poor jess man cannot handle rides to well either. But dad said you just have to try it cause I know you will love it. Well he enjoyed part of it but the photo says it all.......that He was scared to death! OMG the look on this poor childs face...people were walking past the photo area cracking joke about "this" photo and we look over to see that it was our jess man! Oh he felt so horrible...he didn't want to tell dad that he felt like barfing because he knew dad was so proud of him for going. And he didn't want to let him down. But he came to me and said "Mom I really didn't like the ride all that well and I really feel like throwing up" Oh my jessman I said...I am so proud of you! I told him to just keep breathing and think of something else and soon enough your mind will be off of barfing. He tried his best and did very well. ONly once in a while for the next 2hrs I had to ask are you ok. He never did upchuck thank goodness. but I am still so proud of him for going on the ride and staring fear in the face and saying I can DO it!

Ahhhh what a day,lol! I love every memory of it! There is so many more but I am sure you don't care to read a book,LOL! So for now ciao
