Sea World! {Part 2}











After the Shama show we watched the "Azul" show. It was pretty good. A lot more to see, actually, than the Shamu show. 

















I snapped a few cellphone pics of the kids and I. I know my husband has tons of pictures on his phone too but I haven't taken the time to go through those. He takes pretty good cellphone pics too so he has some great shots of the shows and everything. Oh well.













After the "Azul" show we went over the shark aquarium. C was pretty excited to see real sharks. Ha! 







The aquarium was pretty dark so it was hard to get pictures but here's one shark. :) 







I liked the round window and like the way this picture came out. 







After the sharks we had to stop by the dolphin pool one last time. We were hoping to pet them again but they didn't swim close enough. J and I could've stood there all day. The dolphins are so fun and cute to watch. 















A few family pics before we left. 





I forgot to mention the weather was absolutely perfect the day we went! This is the second time I've been to San Antonio in October and I think it's the perfect time of year to go. 






By the time we left Sea World we were starving and exhausted. I don't think Five Guys has ever tasted SO good!





J drew this in her little notebook as soon as we left Sea World. I think I helped her with the tail but she did a pretty good job. :) She loves to draw and she's getting better all the time.



Even though it was a quick trip we had a great time at Sea World! The kids are ready to go back again!

Seaworld! {Part 1}



We spent most of the day Saturday at Sea World (Again, this was back in October. I'm just really late  posting these pics.)













I made an appointment for the kids to pet and feed a dolphin. J was thrilled! But C wouldn't pet it (and this is the kid who was petting sting rays at the aquarium last year while J wouldn't touch them) but both kids threw a fish in for the dolphin to eat. This dolphin was named Yoyo and J is still talking about her. I'm so glad she had this experience. She loves dolphins and I know she'll remember this for a long time. :)



 I love this pic!









 I snapped this one of the three dolphins with my cellphone. I wish it was a little clearer but I was so happy to get a good shot of them doing something "cute". :)





We were at Sea World right before Halloween and there were several characters dressed up passing out treats. We were surprised to find all natural dried fruit snacks in these bags! My kids love them and they're so much better than candy.





 The Shamu show!

























 I loved watching my kids' faces as they watched each show. They loved it!





Posing by a Shamu statue. C had to lift up his Shamu toy.... after the Shamu show he was really proud of that toy. Ha! :) It's funny how both kids are looking off here... they're were people everywhere so they were really distracted.

San Antonio Riverwalk


I'm jumping in here to post pics from our little vacation almost two months ago. If I don't get these pictures up now I never will. 







Back in October we took a little weekend trip to San Antonio and Sea World. Thursday evening we headed to the Riverwalk for a boat ride down the river, Mexican food and just walking around. We had a great time! I've always loved the Riverwalk but hadn't been in years. It was nice to go with my husband and kids for the first time. 








 I love this pic of C of the river boat.

























 J and I on the boat.













 I love this pic the husband snapped of C and I.













 Her dress coordinated well with all the bright colors on the Riverwalk. :)









Hubby trying to keep the kids under control. Ha! They're not "bad" kids but definitely active and always on the move!





 The Riverwalk. It would be a lot prettier if the water was blue ha! Still pretty though.













And a few random shots of the streets before we headed back to the motel.
