Winter! Ikea! and Christmas #3

Winter, the dolphin with no tail from Dolphin Tale lives a few minutes from the beach house. Carolyn got the movie for the boys to watch and we went to the aquarium the next day. The aquarium saves and takes care of marine life that can't be returned to the ocean. It was almost bankrupt when the movie came out. Now they are doing well. The boys loved all the stories and meeting Winter and her friends Panama, baby Hope, and Nicholas.

 Off to see winter!

 Secret they don't tell you in the movie- she can swim without the prosthetic tail- uses it only for therapy.

 
There she is!!

 There is an Ikea in Tampa. Jeff and I wanted to go, but I think the boys had the most fun.

 They crawled into every bed... and we let them.

 Grammer took the boys shopping for Christmas. Jack got an ipod to play games on.

 Will had a terrible time deciding which baby to pick. He decided on the one in the lower right-hand corner... she came with a stroller. He named her "Baby Mangy".
