Sea World/Disney

During Glen's leave we spent a day at Sea World and a day at Disney.  Surprisingly enough Eloise enjoyed Sea World more than Disney.  (Crazy baby.)  We went straight to Sea World from Macclenny.  It was a bright sunny day.  We first went to the dolphin show.  I wasn't sure how Eloise would do - she doesn't like to be still for too long.  

 

  She was mesmerized!  She loved watching the dolphins jump and the birds fly in and out of the crowd.  It was GREAT!

   She rode every ride she could and loved them all!  During the tea cup and boat rides she had a huge smile on her face till they spun/swayed too much she'd panic a little.  Once they slowed down that smile would come right back.  

She loved steering the ship and ringing the bell! 

 

 Eloise was so good during every show we went to.  When the scary sea horse came on the screen during the Allure show she actually covered her eyes!  I've never seen her do that before.

As with the Dolphin show Eloise liked the Shamu show.  Too bad we couldn't stay for the whole thing.  Just as the show was starting she dirtied her diaper.  The third one that day.  The last diaper change was so bad i used all the wipes and her pants got dirty.  The show was going to be our last stop so we just left early.  Glen carried her like this all the way to the car!

While we were in Orlando we stayed with Glen's sister Emily.  Eloise had a good time with Maya and Allison.

Our second day in Orlando was dedicated to Disney.  We first went to Typhoon Lagoon.  Eloise didn't like the sprinklers in the kid section but loved the lazy river and wave pool.  Eloise fell asleep on the way to the Magic Kingdom and didn't eat much once we got there.  A hot, hungry, tired baby isn't the most fun.  She wouldn't even ride a horse on the carousel.  She screamed and cried till we put her on the bench.  She liked the tea cups if we didn't go too fast and got a little scared on Dumbo when we moved up and down.  The one ride she really loved was Small World.  She was pointing and looking at all the dolls.  She couldn't get enough!

She spent a lot of time on daddy's shoulders.  We also went to the tiki room show.  I thought it was a little annoying but she danced the whole time! 

By the end of the day she was passed out in the stroller and barley batted an eye when we put her in the car.
