Veterans Day Performance

The third graders at Lexi's school have been working on their Veteran's Day performance for months.  They learned lots of patriotic songs.  The kids were asked to invite their family along with veterans.  I told Lexi that we didn't know any veterans that live nearby, so she asked if we could ask a friend from church.  She just knew that his ultra-patriotic self would LOVE it.  Fortunately, his grandsons go to the same school.  I mentioned Lexi's desire to his daughter and she handled the part of inviting him.  He even took us to dinner and we had a nice evening.  

Veterans Day

We decided to celebrate Veterans Day at SeaWorld. Ok, that isn't true. I completely forgot that it was Veterans Day. In fact, I kept wondering why it was so busy and why there were so many dads there. Then I realized it was Veterans Day. I can't feel too bad though. My dad was a Veteran & I know he would have approved of our activities that day.

We didn't stay too long because we've been spoiled and now it isn't as fun when it is crowded. We hung out it the areas that I usually avoid - the Elmo ones. We saw the Elmo 4D movie and then we went to the Elmo play area. It is fun for the kids, but not very easy to keep them both happy when they want to run off in different directions. Some things in there Jordan is too short to participate on and some things Lexi is too tall for. It is hard to win in those situations. They each had fun when it was their turn.
