We had to start summer off right and hit up San Antonio!! I cannot begin to explain how excited these two were about going to Sea World. The weather was a bit risky but we were all for sticking it out, rain and all.
Saturday we started by touring...The ALAMO. Its been years since I've visited and I can't say I remember it being such a beautiful place. And the weather turned out to be perfect. The girls made wishes for the day [probably wishing for no rain tomorrow] and ran around looking for butterflies.
After much anticipation...SHAMU!! [Or better-known-as...her "look-a-like"...but we won't tell] The girls were so excited to go to Sea World. We couldn't get in the doors fast enough...literally...beware of fine print on Preschool Pass. I might have forgotten their birth certificates for proof of age. UGH!!
On a better note...These whales did not disappoint. The girls were so amazed.
Off to brave our first face-painting. This chick did an amazing job in mere minutes. We were totally impressed...more so, maybe, that the girls didn't completely smear their paint all over themselves.
Now for lunch and another show. At the Azul show we watched the Beluga Whales and Dolphins put on a fab show. Sophie now says she gonna work at Sea World after watching. I might have to do much encouraging for this career path!!
We waiting around for the/our last show, another with the Killer Whales. This time we decided to brave the "Splash Zone" as there we NO OTHER seats available and we had saved the best show for last. Figures, this would be our luck. And speaking of "luck"...Charlie was dead asleep in Mike's arms and Sophie was freaking out about getting wet. So, of course, we get WET. Completely soaked. And Charlie received a very wet, cold, surprise awakening. Face paint now totally smeared. Note to self...yes, its a splash zone.
Overall, great trip. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Girls are still talking about getting wet by Shamu. So it wasn't that bad afterall. More memories to write in our story.
