A Bug's World

Birthday Party

The Beautiful Bug is now three years old. It amazes me how fast she has grown. She talks all the time and I can actually understand about 80% of it. We threw her a birthday party about two weeks ago. It was very nice as my mother was able to be up here from Texas for the party. We had several kids about Jessica's age and parents and grandparents. We rented a bouncy thing with a slide and all the kids loved it. She got so many presents it is embarassing. In fact, I have to go through all her toys and actually start weeding out things she doesn't play with anymore or that she is too old for now. Wow, can she actually be "too old" for anything? It was a really nice party.

Florida Trip

A couple weeks ago we went down to Orlando for the weekend. But seeing as how our little Bug is just barely 3, and short, going to many of the theme parks was really out of the question. The rides just wouldn't have been fun..her not being tall enough, me being 5 months pregnant...yeah, aren't we the fun pair. So, instead, we opted for Sea World. A very reasonable idea seeing has how she LLLOOOVVVEEESS sea animals. She really enjoyed seeing all the animals. There were lots of underwater viewing areas so that she could see everything. Sea lions, dolphins,, manatees...even penguins. Bugaboo calls the manatees "sea elphies", as in elephants. We also went to Discovery Cove across from Sea World. This was an amazing interactive park. We were able to swim with fish, sting rays and had we wanted dolphins! Now, Bug didn't really take to the idea of actually swimming with her favorite friends, but we still had a wonderful time.

Overall, it was an awesome trip that I h ope we get to repeat when she gets a little older.
