Sea World is the place to be!

Strangely enough, I have lived in Austin my whole life and never been to Sea World San Antonio. I am making up for some serious lost time. I LOVE Sea World. The Shamu show, the Penguin Encounter, Shamu Harbor, Dolphin Cove, the flamingos, the sea lions... I can't get enough. I went once in June with my brother Kevin's family (Leslie, Ellie (3), Halle (10 months)), after which I bought a season pass. I went for the second time this past weekend with Justin's parents, Al and Judy and Justin's sister's family (Al & Judy, Brittany & Greg, Johanna (2), Lydia (3 months)). I think at this point, Annabel doesn't care at all... but she will! She had a significantly better time in August, than in June so either Shamu stepped it up a knotch or Annie got a little more attentive.


Here is the 1st trip...

Halle and Annie
They have no idea what's coming.
Ellie- what a big kid!

Kevin and Annie at the Shamu show
Notice Annie's attentiveness.

Leslie and Halle at the Shamu Show- cutie pies.
Ellie at the Shamu show
Oh, Ellie.

How Annie spent most of the day :-)


We may have jumped the gun on getting to ride in the cool stroller.


Ellie and Kevin

The second trip...
The whole crew!



Annie at the Shamu Show... notice her attentiveness now!Jo and Brittany before the big splash
Jo and Brittany after the big splash. Not Jo's favorite part!
Annie had a blast! Although she probably would have had just as much fun on her playmat at home. :-)

Some things don't change...

It was a pretty long day!

Brittany, Greg, Jo & Lydia came to visit from North Carolina for the week and it was such a great time to spend with family! We also went to the museum, rode the Zilker train, and swam in the pool a ton, but I forgot my camera until Sea World.

I am already looking to go back. Any takers?

SALLY!!! SO, sadly, I found your blog by doing some healthy "blog-stalking" - but I'm so glad that I did! I had heard through the grapevine that you had a little lady - she's beautiful, and what a great name! Donald and I welcomed our own little gal 7 weeks ago! Quite the surprise - but it's been absolutely amazing. Anyhow, wanted to say Hi and that it was fun taking a peek into your life!
