"The Best Day Ever..." by Hannah (as dictated to Mommy)

Sea World 2009

This is Shamu. He has a girl trainer on top of his nose. He is a nice killer whale. You should see Shamu at Sea World. You could go to his shows (there's 4 each day). Shamu can jump to touch the ball. He can do whatever they tell him. He can get up on dry land, spin his tail, and spin his body. He spins and spins and spins. If you sit up close to the tank, Shamu will splash you with his tail with lots of water. I think you should sit up close to the tank, becuase the water will cool you off, because it is nice and cold. That's it for my Shamu story...


This is the baby dolphin at Sea World. This is all true. I hope you believe it. I got to feed him fresh new fish and I got to feel his skin. They said his tank was 100ft long. The baby dolphin feels soft and warm and cozy. He is really cute. That's it for my dolphin story...



This is the front gate of Sea World. You need to go online to SeaWorld.com, and you can get tickets to go inside Sea World---or you can get your tickets from the front gate. I would get my tickets online so I wouldn't have to wait in line a long time. You have to have tickets to get through the front gate. That's it for my Sea World adventure. I hope you go there sometime...

10 year anniversary trip to Hot Springs!

We celebrated our 10-year anniversary with a trip to Lookout Point Bed and Breakfast Inn in Hot Springs, Arkansas. We LOVE this place! We enjoyed the food, the hammocks, the rocking chairs, the waterfall, the boat, a picnic in Garvan Gardens, playing putt-putt, and shopping. We truly did very little other than RELAX.

Here's Steve in the huge hydrotherapy tub---next to the shower that had THREE shower heads! (Steve seriously took 10 or more showers in the four days we were there---he loved that shower!) We enjoyed dreaming about remodeling our own bathroom to include these features---who knows? Maybe one day...

Kindergarten Field Day!

Mommy and Chloe went to cheer Hannah on at field day at school. Here's Hannah and Chloe with the girls from Hannah's class. Chloe enjoyed lots of attention and "doting" from these girls who think they are so much bigger than she is...What a fun day!

Hannah competed in the tug-of-war, balloon pop race, egg toss, and some relay where she had to run while balancing a ball on a cone (?). She earned FOUR ribbons---3 2nd place and 1 3rd place! Here she is showing off her ribbons.
