Sea World

This past Monday we were in San Antonio at Sea World. We had a great time! I'd like to apologize to our friends in San Antonio. We had planned to call you all, but with Kevin's travelling for work and my being in charge of two kids, we lost time. I had a crazy schedule that we followed for the first 4 hours, so I doubt anyone would have wanted to join us anyway!

Sarah loved all of the shows. She said that her favorite thing was Shamu. And who knew we'd be chanting Shamu during the show? Nathan did great too. The only semi-meltdown was Sarah. We were trying to eat lunch before the Shamu show and I guess she thought we were skipping Shamu to go eat, so she started crying, but we quickly explained it to her and she calmed down.

It will be fun to go back when the kids are older and we can do some of the things for older kids. I ran into some friends from high school who have 3, 5 and 9 year old daughters and they said they were having trouble finding rides the youngest girl could do. We just stuck to the shows and the things you don't have to wait in line for.

Feeding the dolphins - the fish are stinky (Sarah's words)

(a Cirque de Soleil-like show with dolphins and beluga whales)

Synchronized swimmers (Daddy's favorite) and

a trainer dancing with a beluga whale. I always think of

Melissa LaChance when I see beluga whales! (inside joke)

Shamu, Shamu!

The End.
