M&L - Photo Shoot & Fair

Today was another glorious, sunny day in Miami. All of our plans meant the kids had a busy day ahead of them. Hopefully everyone would be able to maintain their best behavior from start to end.



First, we had a yummy breakfast with Mommy's cousins, Yves (Lucia's padrino) and Kleber (who Mateo aspires to be as tall as some day). So far the behavior is good.




Next we went to a photo studio to take a family photo with Grandma followed by some lunch at Cheesecake Factory...again manners were still on point


After lunch, we headed to Santa's Enchanted Forest, one of Mommy's favorite places to go when she was growing up. As you can see Mr. Mateo was super excited.



There were lights displays...



...cotton candy...



...a rock climbing wall...



...and rides.



While Mateo went on a roller coaster with Papi, Mommy, Lucia, Grandma and Freddie went to watch the Sea Lion show



Lucia (next to Grandma) was mesmerized



This was Mateo's favorite ride of the night...the human hamster ball on water. Basically they stuffed the kids in a sealed ball, pumped it full of oxygen and let them race around a pool. I have to admit it was pretty cool.



Lucia was so excited to watch it and wished she was big enough to participate



At the end of the night, Mommy finally rode on the Himalaya ride with Mateo



And on the way out, the two elves shared a moment...all and all a very successful, drama-free day

Of course, Santa's classic sea lion show - boy, I can't tell you how many of those we went to in Jersey.
