San Antonio/Seaworld

We took another trip done to San Antonio the beginning of March and took the kids to Seaworld. I was able to find a VERY nice hotel (resort) on a travel site for a very good price. When we got to the resort we couldn't believe how nice it was! It also had EVERYTHING that you could ask for. There was a very big pool with a lazy river, a sand beach next to the pool, with a fire pit for making s'mores, tennis courts, walking paths, activities for the kids including rental bikes for the family, and they even had a very nice playground. I really couldn't believe this resort and we will be going back there the next time we visit. The resort also had a restraurant, and really you would never really need to leave since everyone was right there.

When you walked into the lobby they had a big fish tank which the boys loved.

The lobby also had a nice little waterfall.

The boys of course LOVED running down the halls to our room. When your a kid I think the best part of staying at a hotel is running down the long halls :)

This is a picture of part of the pool

And the VERY nice playground. It was so nice to have somewhere we could take the boys to burn off some energy

Our room had a balcolny and the boys enjoyed going out and looking around

After we checked into our hotel we met up with our friends Renee and Josh and their kiddos. While at their house we found the perfect containment for the boys

And Britton got to dress up like a princess. He was even wearing the shoes! He sure does make a cute girl :)

On Sunday we met up with Josh and Renee and both our families went to Seaworld. Trying to get pictures with 3 21 month olds, a 3 year old, a 4 year old and then a 13 year old, is impossible!!

Britton and Kaydence meeting Shamu

The first thing we did was feed the dolphins. Britton had a blast and the babies seemed to enjoy it. They kept calling the dolphins puppies and they all threw them some fish. It was a lot harder this year to keep them all still on the wall.

Emmett and Everett checking out the fish

They had added a couple of kid rides since last year and Emmett was just dying to go on. So Chris, Mycayla, Britton, Kaydence and Emmett all went on the ride. It went fairly fast and spun around and Emmett just sat there without too much expression on his face. I couldn't really tell if he was enjoying the ride or if he was scared, but when it stopped and they had to get off he was so upset. So apparently he really enjoyed it!

We also got to watch a show by Elmo, Abbie, Cookie Monster, Grover and Zoe. Britton enjoyed meeting them all and the babies were in awe. They didn't like getting too close to the characters, but they were brave enough to give a couple high fives. Here is Britton meeting cookie monster

There was huge playground with tunnels and Chris took Britton and Emmett up on it.

Daddy with Emmett and Everett watching the Shamu show. They were very excited. I was holding Emerson and he was scared the entire show. He had his hands over his eyes and was peeking through his fingers. I thought I had gotten a picture with my camera, but it seems like I only got one with my phone :( So check out facebook for that one!

Emerson was much happier watching the beluga/dolphin show. I think it had something to do with the music. Shamu had suspenseful music and the dolphins was very upbeat

Britton and Everett eating popcorn at the show

Seaworld sure does wear you out!

Britton rode one of those water rides that goes fast down the hill and splashes at the bottom. We bought the picture for it since the look of sheer terror on his face was priceless. Once we get it scanned into the computer I'll have to edit the blog and add it :)

We hope to go back to San Antonio at least once more this year, but hopefully we can make it more than that. It is a fun city and there is so much to do there with the kids. It's also nice to have good friends to visit while we're there as well!
