Drew loves this one song and video called "Happy Happy Happiness" from Sesame Street that is of a bunch of kids having a blast at the beach. So we sing it all the time when we remember the fun we had in Florida two weeks ago. Nana and Pops, the beach, Busch Gardens, meeting Elmo and friends...pretty much meant happiness every day for him on vacation! Busch Gardens was really amazing and a lot more fun then I thought it would be for a toddler. He had so much fun going on rides, driving his own car and watching the Sesame Street live show. He was simply in awe of meeting Elmo, Big Bird, Super Grover, Cookie Monster, Zoe and Abby. He was a little confused at why they weren't talking back to him when he said "Hi" or "Grover, look at my shirt! It is Super Grover!" but was satisfied to get a thumbs up from Grover after repeating himself like ten times :) Even better was that when he was napping in the stroller Logan, Jerry and I got to go on three roller-coasters!
The beach was also a lot of fun because he was fearless with the waves and was jumping right into the water! He got to swim out far with Logan and never wanted to get out. At the hotel he had a great time "floating" with his new puddle jumper float from Nana. He was getting so brave and I was so impressed since this was his first time in the water since last year! Now I am definitely looking forward to this summer except I'm afraid he might be running in the water when I need more time to get in! (I totally already used my mom's famous excuse "Mom doesn't have her bathing suit on today" a couple times! haha)
Here are some photos from our trip:
