SeaWorld

Day 4 of our trip and over 14 hours in the car, we hit the highlight that the kids had been waiting for...SeaWorld in San Antonio.
We were grateful to have two days here, because you need it. Day one we did the water park (didn't have my camera) and day two the shows, rides and exhibits!
Kyndal was brave enough to try a little roller coaster, The Shamu Express...twice, but then was more pleased with this ride....we rode it over and over and over!

After being so brave on the roller coaster, we were sure she could handle this one. Wrong. So wrong. Maybe she would have been fine if Mom or Dad was with her, but figured Codey could be her buddy. He is on there next to her although you can't see him. She is crying crying crying. "Maaaammmaaaa" over and over again. We didn't know if we should laugh or cry with her.

The kids both report that the sea lion show was their favorite. It was so FUNNY.

Ever since the Omaha Zoo, she has always loved the flamingos. Happy to see them here too!

"Believe" the killer whale show truly is unbelievable. It is absolutely amazing how they train creatures of this size. The music was inspiring too. Awesome.

Here and at Six Flags, we were amazed at how brave Codey was. He loved this ride. Couldn't believe he went on it. He and Troy were in the front row...and exited completely drenched!

Loved this picture of my boys watching the pre-show entertainment. It WAS hilarious and their faces show it!

This was Mom's favorite show...Azul. Dolphins and a beluga whale, but also divers, acrobats and birds. It was Cirque du Soleil-like. People flying of trapezes, diving boards, swings, dolphins jumping, birds flying. See the boards way up at the top? And the swings on the right? So impressive!!

But if you ask the kids about the best part of the trip, they might say "the swim up ice cream bar at the hotel!!"

Great family trip. Highly recommend it!
