On Friday evening we loaded up the church van with clothes and snacks for 14 people. We got little ones strapped in car seats and gameboys, coloring books, Leapsters, and Ipods within everyones reach. Gabriella stepped up to the curb for Uncle Vinnie to lift her into her seat and promptly vomited everything in her stomach. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? Bless her heart ~ Laurie took her in for a quick shower and 10min we were on our way bowl in hand. (She was sick through Saturday but by Sunday was almost back to her normal self)
We got into San Antonio around midnight and early Sat morning headed to Sea World. This was mine and Vincents 5th trip with kids and I must say this was our first disappointment ever. The Viva show (our favorite) was closed, Shamu left a lot to be desired, and it was more crowded than I've ever seen. BLECK! But we managed to snag some smiles from the kids.... Here are a few of the 517 pictures taken....what can I say Laurie and I are addicted! Check out more on Laurie's blog.
The kids dream of the moment they get to feed the dolphins!
Here is our family picture. We made t-shirts so we all matched and could find each other easily.
The one and only highlight of the Shamu show. Josh, Noah, Ginny, Bianca, Breaunna, Caitlyn, and Juan about to get really wet....(notice the camera is very far from the splash zone!)
We ate lunch outside the park to save a little money. It worked out wonderfully and made a huge difference on the pocket book!
Krisalyn, Bianca, Madilyn playing in the splash factory
The braver, cooler folks on Journey to Atlantis...
