May 18 - the kids were very excited for their "first" plane ride. They were months old when we first flew with them so they don't remember at all.
The plane was supposed to leave at 6:15pm.
It kept getting more and more delayed and we finally few out around 10:15pm!
We made it to Orlando and climbed aboard the Magical Express to our hotel at Disney World.
It was after 3 before we were all in bed.
We got up around 9 the next morning and headed to Clearwater Beach! It was about 2 hours away but I really wanted to go to a beach on the gulf side and I had heard that Clearwater was nice.
We rented a big ol' SUV to take the 8 of us to see the ocean. Look how excited Sophie is! This is her normal picture face these days.
We grabbed some lunch first - we went to Frenchy's. What a fun place!
We got our first taste of gator!
At last we ran over to the beach and the kids got their toes in the sand for the first time!
They were hooked from the start! They went crazy and ran and made sand angels and just loved it!
Sophie just kept running and running and laughing! I love her spirit!
It's contagious....
We made the kids pose for a few pics before they started swimming.
But they were really anxious!
They loved the water! Except in their eyes and mouths....
It was nice and warm. Sam was nervous at first that there might be jellyfish, but he got over it.
They loved playing in the sand even more though and collected a zillion shells.
We got them right where we wanted them!
Superman and his daddy made a sand castle!
Then we called in an early night, cleaned up, and went to bed to prepare for Disney the next day!
