For those of you that have visited this site only to find old posts I am sorry. A lot has transpired over the past few weeks and the blog took a break.  Please note that there are four new posts. The next one down is a don't miss.  SuperNanny had her baby and she is a real cutie!  After missing out on most of the Christmas holiday happenings due to our medical drama, we made up for it at Easter. Saturday kicked things off with a family celebration at TwinMom's cousins home in Orlando. All of the FL crowd converged and we had a blast. There were 6 kids all under 5 years old!  Easter morning we went to church and then hosted TwinPop's Mom (Common Tater, Grandboogie). The kids opened their baskets and Grandboogie brought a cake that we are really enjoying. It was then time for a quick nap and off to our friends home for  Easter Dinner and another egg hunt. We finished things off by watching the end of the Masters. Thanks to Jake and Kremsa and Randall and Andrea for hostings such fun parties. We really enjoyed getting together with our family and friends. On a side note, I have created a Flickr Pro account which allows me to post a lot of photos online for sharing. In the next week or so I will post a link so that anyone wising to see beyond the few select photos on the blog may.

We are sorry that this post is a week late. We had so much fun last week that we could not get it together for a posing last week.

What a weekend we had!  After months of planning for a visit to one of the theme parks we decided on a trip to Sea World.  Because big cousin Carter had a good time at their age we figured our guys were ready for the adventure.  Pepe and Grandma were our event planners.  What a job they did!  Pepe secured a wonderful hotel through priceline.  There was plenty of room for the kids to move about between the two adjoining rooms. On Saturday morning we woke to rain but decided to give it a go.  The sky's cleared and we had a wonderful day.  Uncle Mel, Aunt Heather and Cousin Carter joined us for the fun.  We finished off our day with a nice family meal at a neaby restaurant.  On Sunday morning we were able to get a late check out.  This allowed the kids to wander around the resort grounds and play on their playground.

We finished off our weekend by having dinner with a dear friend from out of town.  Elizabeth and Tom spent some time with Grandboogie after attending a family funeral.  Granboogie got us all together and we had a nice meal. It was good to renew old frienships and make new ones!

After being rained out of our zoo plans a few weeks ago we finally made the trip. We started off with a ride on the train around the zoo grounds.

After our train ride we walked the grounds. The Giraffe's were a lot of fun. We got up close and personal with them as they were eating.

Next we took a ride on the carousel. We were having fun for about 30 sec's before Mr. H decided that he did not like it. Mr H let us know in a loud manner his displeasure. In true twin fashion Princess chimed in so we had crying kids for the greater part of the ride.

We all agreed that the monkey's were the most fun. They were really putting on a show and the kids could not take their eyes off of them. It looks like the yearly pass to the zoo will be in our future budget plans!

A long standing tradition in our family is to get together at the beach. Our part of the family got an early start this year and stoped for an overnight visit with Grandma and Pepe. Over the course of the weekend we enjoyed a lot of time together, ate some good food, did a lot of swimming both in the pool and at the beach and celebrated 3 birthdays. We already have our calendars blocked out for next year!   Weekend Goodies:

• Cousin Carter and the Princess Make quite a dynamic duo.
• If you are going to feed the fish make sure the seagulls are not lurking neaby.
• Skip & Flip have a new buddy and his name is Chip Felix.
• An ounce of pretzels is worth a pound of gold if you want your sanity.
• Sand is fun but it does not taste good.
• Pepe takes one fine picture at sunset.
