We decided to take a small trip to San Antonio to go to Sea World and the Alamo. You would think that a trip to Sea World would be more for the kids but in all reality it was more for me. I love sea life-always have. If you were with me the first time I ever saw a Dolphin in the wild, then you would remember my scream of pure joy. I still have that enthusiasm. There was a recent trip that we took to Galveston Island, here in Texas, and each time I saw a dolphin from the ferry I would let out a very excited sound and finally little Daniel asked me to stop screaming in his ear.
Our first day at Sea World ended sooner than we wanted due to the remnants of Hurricane Dolly. We could have stayed, Sea World is open rain or shine, but with two kids it makes for one miserable experience. Day two was beautiful and not a drop fell from the sky. We were there for 12 hours and my poor sweet boys had the most droopy eyes and tired bodies. We had a fun full day of animals, rides (Lendl went on his first roller coaster), swimming, food, shows and much more. A lot of pictures were taken with a waterproof camera but here some other pictures we took.
This is us in front of the Shamu stadium.
Though attendance was low on day one, we still enjoyed the Shamu show. Such amazing, beautiful animals.
Daniel and I came to this Sea World 8 years ago. There was a brand new baby beluga whale just born and it was great to see that she is performing now and is also expecting a baby of her own.
Nothing like sitting in the splash zone.
I couln't help but watch the boys faces throughout the shows. 
Though there was a wall, little Daniel was determined to touch a bottlenose dolphin. He is leaning so far over that I am holding him so he does not fall in. His efforts payed off because he was able to touch one.
We watched a 4d show about pirates. It was a lot of fun, even when a swarm of bees came at us. However, there were too many things that scared Lendl and he ended up screaming toward the end of the show. Once we took his glasses off, he was all better.
One of many rides that we went on.
The great Alamo.

So much fun!!! That is something that I know Brayden would love! We have a bottle that we fill with our coins so that I can plan his trip to sea world,
I LOVE Sea World. I wanted and still want to be a marine biologist! We are going again in August. It seems to be our August Tradition!!!!
I think it is more fun to watch you with the animals than the animals themselves.
I heard there are dozens of dolphin attacks on humans each year! I bet the Sea World Dolphins are just biding their time waiting for that perfect morsel to reach in to touch them!
We are going to take our kiddos to Sea World in San Diego in October and this got me totally fired up for it! It looks like so much fun! I love all the pictures!
