Our life is a Zoo.....and a little bit of Sea World too!

You would think that in November we would be wearing sweaters, long pants, and heating ourselves up from the inside out with hot cocoa. Not in the Great State of Texas. Last Friday night we drove down to San Antonio to spend the evening with our Dad who had been working at a Conference there. Saturday he worked some more and I took all the kids to the Zoo! When Mark was finished with his work day we managed to squeeze 2 hours at Sea World in to the already packed and exhausting day. The kids had a blast! Journey to Atlantis at Sea World is their favorite ride.

 Kensi, hanging out in the Reptile House with these lovely little crocodiles.
 Checking out the new Africa 2 Exhibit at the San Antonio Zoo. We loved the bug display!
                                                      She's a Butterfly! Oh, and he is too!
 Sea World is decked out for the Holidays already. Had to pose in front of their giant Christmas Tree.
Drenched at the Shamu show. Luke was so upset that he got wet that he cried for 20 minutes. We are not sure what those animal trainers told Shamu and his sidekick but they nailed us three times. They must have promised a gigantic cupcake. That would have motivated us! It was funny to get this wet. Noah was saved by the blanket I held over him. The rest of us looked like we took a shower with our clothes on. After getting this wet we ran and hopped on Journey to Atlantis and added more water to the mix. After that it was off to the roller coasters to dry ourselves off. All in all, a fun filled weekend. We love our Season Passes!

  1. Looks like fun! When we were in Sea World a couple of weeks ago, they couldn't get the whales to perform! They'd say, 'And here's Shamu!'...wait for it, wait for it..'Uh...and here's Shamu!'...wait for it...it was funny. Hope you had a great time--sad we won't see you at Thanksgiving, but really, in a church, how much are you really gonna miss?? ;)
