Roadtrip to Tampa

Good Lord, we have alot to post about from this holiday weekend. This is just one of about 5 total posts, detailed our holiday hi-jinx. We arrived at Aunt Ceci's, and T had a ball playing with the 3 kids. Here, she and Ceci's youngest are playing the Wii game. It is absolutely amazing how detailed the graphics of this game are. For someone raised on Ms. Packman, Pong, and Space Invaders, this was truely amazing.
What's even more amazing is how T just picked it right up and joined right in. With those things you see in their hands, they swing their arms and push buttons, to make the characters in the game move. Totally interactive. Here's a short video of them "boxing" each other. Its a riot.



Meanwhile, we woke up bright and early on Friday the 4th, and headed out to the yacht club to which Ceci's family belongs. Its actually on Tampa bay, and had a huge pool, buffet BBQ lunch, face painting, balloon making, stilt-walking Uncle Sam who was complete with his own bubble machine and juggling act, decorations and races.

T got her face painted with fireworks, and also scored a fireworks balloon hat. You'd have thought that she'd died and gone to heaven. In the background of this picture, you can see old Uncle Sam, and the many seats set up for the buffet lunch, to give you an idea how big this place was. The food? Yummy!!!

A marvelous plan was made in the stars,
to create a miracle across the ocean so far....
Then entwine and weave all the hopes and labor,
it would take to bring us this joy called "Taylor"....
Now three lives are blessed and somewhere in the stars,
the planners are smiling, as we all are.
