Thursday was more beach/pool time. We decided that the older the kids get the easier vacations are going to become! The thought of 4 potty trained kids, all able to stand on their own two feet, no poopy, sand filled swim diapers, no trying to change those poopy, sand filled swim diapers in a restroom with no changing table and trying to not slide off the toilet lid yourself in your own wet swim suit... finally stripping them down and putting them in the sink being the easiest solution and then trying to get a wet swim suit back on.... besides the few frustrating times along with some fits from an overly tired 2 yr old the youngest two did great! :)

Thursday afternoon was time for Alligator Adventure (Ethan's much anticipated visit to see the alligators). Ethan was in awe of the huge alligators and decided that he definately would NOT be riding on an alligator's back! He said "if the alligator bite me, i spiderman and i bust him up!"

Thursday evening we ate at a huge seafood buffet. I tried some things iv'e never tried before and actually liked them, and i watched i watched other people eat things that i will NEVER try! Trey loved the crab legs.
