Sea World- Fun for all ages!


Enough with the depressing talk. Let's talk fun! We've had the pleasure of going to Sea World twice so far this year. We bought one of those Fun Cards where you pay the same price as a one day admission but you get to come back all year.

The first time we got to go we went with Ben, Mer, and the girls. We went both Friday and Saturday and had a blast. It was so nice to see the faces on the girls at the shows. There is nothing like bringing joy into a child's life because it brings joy into yours! We also got to stay at this awesome resort hotel thanks to Ben and Mer's friends. It was an amazing, relaxing time and we wish we could do it again.

Everyone after the Shamu show. We sat in the Splash Zone but hardly got wet.
Thanks for a great trip Ben and Mer! We had a blast!


The second time we went was two days ago. My aunt called us last month and asked if we would help her out with taking her grandson's to Sea World. Being the fun lovers we are, we said yes! So we spent the night at my cousin's house Wednesday, got up early Thursday and headed out to San Antonio, then came back that night after we had worn the kids out. Boys are a lot harder than girls. Holy smokes. Carter has Down Syndrome so you have do a lot more for him than other 6 year olds, but he's a great kid and LOVES Heath so they always have a great time. He loves shows, animals, and acrobats so he was in heaven being at Sea World. Carter loved the Beluga/Dolphin show so much that he just sat there when the show ended and signed more and said "more show!"

Another great trip! Thanks for inviting us Aunt Sis!

So hopefully we'll have more fun trips to S.W. this year and many more summer fun adventures!

That looks like so much fun! I haven't been to Sea World since my 16th birthday! We were thinking about going, but maybe we'll do the pass next summer. We have 18 months of use of a collection of time share resorts and one of them is between Austin and SA. Sometime we'll plan a trip for you guys to come with us :) As for next month...our plans may be changing a little bit! Forest had an interview last week that went really well and they told him it's going to take a few weeks for him to get a call back. It's a company that is opening a new facility in Irving, they are based in Arizona. If he switches jobs before our trip, he's not going to want to just leave as soon as he gets there. We won't be able to do the San Antonio trip first, but we can still do a weekend trip to Austin. I will let you know more details soon :) Glad you are feeling better and that so far your summer has been fun! We're off to Six Flags again today :)

Dude, I want one of those stuffed animals the girls have. (I had one of Shamoo once, but it was about a 50th the size of your nieces.) Glad y'all had a blast!

YAY! We had so much fun, we'll have to do it again (of course!). I wish I could have seen Carter's face last weekend, I bet it was a blast! Miss ya'll!
