Sea World

Last week my parents and I took the kids to Sea World. My parents had taken Riley back in May so they already had a season pass. This time Alex and I got to tag along. We drove to San Antonio on Thursday and then caught the night shows at Sea World. There was much debate before we got there on whether or not to go. San Antonio actually had its first day of rain in more than a month. We decided to tough it out and see how many shows we could catch to stay out of the rain. We did get a little wet, but not too bad. Riley's favorite show in May was Shamu. Big surprise, it was still his favorite show. We saw it at the night shows and then the next day.Neither one of the kids was too sure about this pirate. He played a bad guy in the pirate show.
Riley got to feed the dolphins!

Shamu!

These animals are so beautiful!

Nana, Gampa, Riley, and Alex
Mommy with her babies! Next to Shamu, the water park was the favorite. Alex definitely liked the water better than the animals. She had so much fun splashing in the wading area.

Riley loved the wave pool. Thank goodness the waves only lasted for 4 minutes at a time. He wore my dad and I out lifting him every time the wave came.

Having fun getting a horsey ride from Nana's leg!

Mommy's turn to lift!

The trip was a lot of fun! Friday night we went out to dinner on the Riverwalk with one of my old friend's from high school. It was good catching up and showing Riley a whole other culture.
