Sea World Summer Trip

For months now the kids have been saving all our spare change in the "Sea World Jar" for our much anticipated trip to San Antonio and Sea World.  We stayed in downtown San Antonio at the official hotel of the Alamo for two nights.  We did Sea World one day and then explored San Antonio including the Alamo, River Walk, and the famous Man vs. Food 3 lb. cinnamon roll.  We then traveled to West of Austin and stayed at the Lakeway resort for a night where we enjoyed lots of swimming! It was a lot of fun but boy is vacationing with little kids a lot of work!

These kids loved the little kiddie rides!

I love Emma's face in this picture!  It screams pure joy.

This is the family waiting for the 4D movie to start.  It was about a little boy who played tricks on pirates he was trying to scare away.  The bees and huge spider were a little too realistic for my kids and all three of them were screaming hysterically.  I had to take two of them out because it was too much.  I think we will go to the Sesame Street 4D movie next time.

The shark tank was awesome! They also had a dolphin open tank where you could feed the dolphins.  This was probably one of my favorite things about Sea World.  It was neat to see them so close up!

Dad is still a kid at heart.

This was the only "big" ride that Eli was tall enough to go on.  He loved it until it started to go down and he cried the entire way down, and then some.  Lesson learned,  don't let your three year old go on this ride, even if they are tall enough!  I am surprised Emma didn't have the same reaction but she loved it!

Since we were in San Antonio we had to try out the famous Man vs. Food 3lb. cinnamon roll!  It was huge and delicious!

While the kids were watching movies on our drive, Luke and I decided to see who could take the best profile picture.  He then secretly posted it on facebook.  Because it was the little things like this that made our vacation so much fun I had to share.  He conceded and gave me the award.  What a sweet husband!
