Sea World

We took a little vacation to San Antonio this weekend and took the kiddos to Sea World on Friday. We thought it was such a great time to go since all of our kiddos are FREE . . . that's right free! Needless to say, once they aren't free is is going to add up VERY quickly!

It was fun, but I keep using the word "ambitious" in respect to 2 parents and 3 small kiddos. The most difficult part was parking the stroller and walking into the shows/exhibits with the little ones. Those stairs are steep and there are alot of them! By the end of the afternoon I began to understand why kids under 3 are free!

We weren't really sure what to expect out of the kiddos. They ended up being very funny! Pete basically sat clutched to me throughout all of the preformances. Avery and Hailey usually sat with Daddy, but all in all, they really did a good job staying focused and watching what was going on. Little Pete was tired after staying up really late the night before (he was so excited that he kept shouting "Orcas! Whales! Dolphins!")

We got to feed the dolphins and happened to walk up right after the park opened so there was basically only a few people there. As we were leaving, it was SWARMED with people - so we learned that you go see the dolphins first!

Shamu was awesome, plus a new baby had been born in January and was following its momma around everywhere. We also really enjoyed a new cirque-de-solish show called "Azul". It was more of a human type acrobat show on water. Frog people were jumping off the top of the platform and synchronized swimmers were swimming with Beluga whales. And to think we almost missed it becuse we thought the kiddos were too tired!
