Coco Key, shopping and Children's Museum

Well, to start off I don't have many pictures because my new camera quit working while we were at the zoo. I was hoping it was just batteries, but I put new batteries in and still nothing. Then while we were at Coco Key our older camera quit working!! Derek ended up getting the new camera working....thankfully....but after our little trip.

So, we changed our minds I don't know how many times on what we were going to do on Wednesday and Thursday. We finally headed out the door for Cincinnati around 10:30 Wednesday...way later than we had originally planned on. Because of that we decided to go straight to Hebron, Kentucky to the Gap Clearance Distribution Center. We spent a few hours there and I definitely over did it BUT got great deals on tons of clothes. I got 3 pair of jeans, 4 shirts, and 3 tank tops for myself plus 2 capris, a dress, and 4 shirts for Allie AND pjs for Avery and a couple dresses for a friend.....all UNDER $100.

After we were done shopping we headed to the Sheraton hotel where we stayed the night. There was a waterpark in the hotel...Coco Key which is why we stayed there. We really thought Allie would love it since she's becoming quite the water bug, but boy were we WRONG! From the minute we stepped in she was crying and saying she was sick and wanted to go back to the room and take a nap. I made her go in the shallow pool to wade around and then took her under the mushroom waterfall (which she liked once we got to the other side). Then I forced her to go down some of the smaller waterslides with me. She sreamed her head off everytime we walked up there but once we were going down the slide she would laugh. I will say, she could have been scared about going up to the slide because the first time we went up there a HUGE bucket of water dumped right on our heads and some kid started spraying us with a water gun! She has never liked water dumped over her head! Anyway, the waterpark itself wasn't all that impressive but it had been a LONG while since I've been to one so I still had a good time even though the girls didn't really enjoy it. Oh.....Allie's favorite part was swimming in the deeper part with her life jacket on while my Dad and I played basketball.

The next day we could have went back to the waterpark, but Allie didn't want to so we headed to the Children's Museum in Cincinnati. It was pretty neat...way better than Boonshoft here in Dayton. Luckily we had my Mom's camera to get some pics!!
