Visiting Family adventures

Sea World - Orlando
    Our boat is overflowing with kids!  My sister, Robin, and kids drove down from Atlanta Saturday to join us on the boat for 5 days during their Spring Break.  The cousins were very happy to see each other after 4 months apart, as were the sisters.  On Sunday, we met local friends at Island Way Grill for an amazing Sunday brunch.  Later, sisters took the kids down to the beach for awhile and caught the sunset.  Monday, we drove out to Orlando to enjoy Sea World for the day.  The weather was hot, but we had fun checking out the animal shows and all the sea life, and a few of us rode the 3 roller coasters (by the way, the Manta ride is awesome!).  Tuesday was spent recuperating from the long hot Orlando trip.  Later in the afternoon, Matthew & Thomas wanted to introduce their cousins to our favorite ice cream shop down the road.  So, sisters and cousins walked a few block to get some yummy ice cream.  Afterward, we went over to check out the 2nd Annual Pier 60 Sugar Sand Festival.  Professionals come in and make sand sculptures (this year's theme was "movies"), protected under a tent.  Really amazing!  Unfortunately, the the weather yesterday and today is not very good, but definitely an amazing visit from family we have missed very much.  They leave us on Thursday morning, just in time for our next visitor!
