SeaWorld and Nickel City

Tatum's Godmother Shauna struck a deal with Tatum when she started her swimming lessons. Shauna said that if she went to all her lessons and tried her best, she would reward Tatum by taking her, and only her, to SeaWorld for the day! You can bet Tatum went to every swim lesson and every day she'd remind me that she was going to go to SeaWorld with JUST Shauna! Every day! And she did it! And to add a wonderful bonus, Amber, Shauna's sister was in town so Tatum got both Shauna AND Amber to take her to SeaWorld!

They went later in the day which was really special, so they got to eat dinner there, ride the sky buckets...

(can you tell that she's overjoyed to have these two to herself!)

and watch the special night Shamu show which is followed by an amazing fireworks show. The BEST NIGHT EVER said Tatum. :) When you thought it couldn't get better, she got to spend the night at Shuana's house!

While Tatum was having all this wonderful fun, Garrett, Ty and I were having a blast of our own. Our night started with a delicious meal at Olive Garden. It's been so long (if ever) that we've gone out to dinner with just Ty and it was very pleasurable. He was such a good boy and loved talking to the server. He even remembered his name after one introduction so every time he'd walk by, Ty would yell out, "Hi Joey!" So cute. Then we headed to Nickel City where they have lots of games you can play for a nickel and win lots of tickets. I hit the jackpot!

Ty LOVED all the driving games. And he loved turning in the tickets to get a plastic car. Again, the BEST NIGHT EVER! Can you tell we watch Tangled around here a lot? :)
