#ItsJoTime

Whoa. Guys. Today was productive! Josephine rode a horse for the first time, ate ice cream for breakfast, and then we headed to Sea World! She gave Shamu a hug, fed sea lions, sharks, and sting rays (which tickled when they took the food from you) and met Henry, the screech owl. We followed the life of a penguin and a sea turtle. We met rescued sea life and watched the killer whale show. Of course, Josephine HAD to be in the front row (until she got completely and utterly soaked, then she had a change of heart). 😂 After a wardrobe change, we marveled at underwater worlds and headed out. We ate dinner dockside of a lake, walked through shops and eateries – and Josephine found something she loved just as much as pennies. SMASHING pennies into souvenirs! After four of those (and Mom running out of quarters), we headed back to the resort to ride a train (twice!), get our nails done, get an airbrushed tattoo, and hang her star in the castle. For those of you wondering where we’re staying that we can eat ice cream for breakfast and get our nails done after riding a train, I’ll have to write a whole separate update just on Give Kids the World Village. That will come in time. Until then, Google it and be amazed. We’re only half-way done with this magical wish of a week. More to come.
