Seaworld Day 2...

Like I said, we loved our lazy morning dance parties with our cousins! 20150715_081628 

I love this girl; she is the BEST!!
We spent Wednesday at Sea World again! Day 2 in Sea World was just as fabulous! I swear I love Sea World so much! I wish I lived in San Antonio just for Sea World!!!
We went to the Beluga Whale show, which was really cool...





I was just in heaven watching all of these beautiful whales and dolphins doing these amazing tricks. I could have watched it all day.


OK, I was laughing so hard when I was going through all of my pictures. I had about 50 of me looking like this:

It was so freaking bright out, that whenever I would go to take a picture of something I couldn't even see it on my phone. So, who knows what I was actually trying to take a picture of, but Here's me looking REAL good!!!
Next up on our day was the Shamu Show. So cool! The Stadium is huge and the whales are amazing! We got great seats and even got wet  at some points, which Taylor  hated! :) I was just in awe of these amazing animals.
And even Burton loved the show!!! It was fun going and having time to go to the bigger shows. Sea World has SO much to offer, I could go every day!

 








After the show we took a walk down to the training area for the dolphins, and it was fun. It was HOT, and we were walking along this path like a heard of cows in the HOT HOT sun, with no shade. It was pretty miserable. But, we had to do it since we were at SEA WORLD! :)
After our trek in the hot hot sun, we stopped at the really cool little kid area. It is so cool, with water and fountains and slides and play areas galore! Although, I think it took me like an hour to find Tucker when it was time to leave, it was so big with all these different levels and nets and slides and ladders. But it was perfect for the kids! Too bad we're covering the entire play area up in this very lovely picture of us ladies! :)
Next up was some more fun in the water park area. I swear, I would live in this place if I lived this close. And another fun time was had by all at the water park. Poor Tucker, was just dying to go on the big slides, but doesn't have anyone his age to go with. I usually had to help with babies, and so he was stuck playing in areas that weren't as 'fun' for him. I did get to hang out with this cutie and that made my whole day!!
Even the water park side has animals, these huge turtles were pretty cool!
Tucker and I ran real quick to the penguins while Kayla and grama got the car and by the time that Tucker and I were out to meet them at the front, this one was gone. That's when you know it's been a good day at Sea World!!!

Riverwalk & Family Pictures...

Next day was down day to hang and relax. AKA...FREE Chic-fil-a!!!! WOO-HOO! I can not tell you how much I love Chic-fil-a and how sad it makes me that we don't have one in Spokane. Anyway, it just happened to be free chic-fil-a day if you come in dressed as a cow. Of course, we had to do it!
I would seriously eat there every day if I could. And seriously, their free meals that we got that day, they like go all out!
That night our big plans were to do family pictures downtown at the San Fernando Cathedral. I also wanted to see the Riverwalk since everyone told me how cool it was. Downtown San Antonio is so cool. It was just so nice walking around. The weather was nice in the evenings. The City is so cool and has a lot of history and really cool buildings. So much Mexican culture. The Riverwalk is awesome. But first up was the pictures. The Cathedral was so cool, and I think we only spent a total of like 15-20 minutes on the pictures. But they turned out super cute!

Oh my gosh, I just love that Burton! Kayla is so freakin' photogenic!



After we did the family shoot, we had to do a sexy session of just Kayla. I mean, just look at those lips!!! hahaha



I'm not sure what Tucker is doing in this pictures. Maybe he was sad that we had to wait like an hour for a table at The Hard Rock Cafe. But it's grandma Kelly's favorite place, and she always wants to go there when we go places, so we waited it out and just hung out by the riverwalk while we waited.
And here is grandma and her grandkids...
Finally we were in. And, of course, it's a really cool restaurant and we had a great time! And grandma requested her favorite Led Zeppelin!!! HAHA

And the kids all got milkshakes, which they loved!!

SeaWorld Day 1...

The next day was our first Sea World Day!!! Woo-Hoo!!! Kayla and Jason literally live 5 minutes from Seaworld. They have season passes and go all the time. Her ward seriously has play dates AT Seaworld and I am so jealous of that! It was so nice just to be able to relax in the morning since there's no rush to get on the road or anything. The early morning playing with cousins was the best.
We got a special pass that lasted like 2 weeks or something. So we knew we were going to go a few different times, but we were still excited! Our first stop was at this really cool dog and cat show, funny enough, since we were at Seaworld. I thought it was pretty random, but Kayla kept on saying how good it was, and it was and the kids loved it! It was pretty cool, the dogs and cats are so amazing, do trick after trick. It was pretty cool and the kids got to go pet the animals after the show.
These cute girls had to be twins...

Next up, this cool dude wanted to see the stunt skiier show. It was SO cool! It is amazing what these people do on skis! And they had one of those cool like jet pack things that shoots them up in the air.
I can't believe that I didn't get any pics of the actual show, and if I did, I lost them somehow! Anyway, we got a pic with one of the dudes after. It was really cool, we got a front row seat and got sprayed and the kids loved it! I just wished I was cool like that.
After the show and a few rides down the journey to Atlantis ride, we decided head on over to the water park side.
We parked ourselves in the kiddie area and the kids had a great time! Just the water park side alone at SeaWorld is HUGE! Like 10 different areas for kids, teens, play area's, different levels of slides.
This boy just cracks me up, I love him so much! He is just getting to be so much fun!



He has a big brother who loves him, too! I just love that smile!

After our fun day at SeaWorld, and I still can't believe that I took so few pictures, but after our fun day, we met up with Jason at a BBQ place called Rudy's. It's like in a gas station that's been added on to. So, the ordering part is seperate, and you have to stand outside and wait in a line, then you go to the to the next door and it's a gas station that's been added onto and is huge with lots of picnic tables. It was SOOOOO good. I'm so glad I don't live in Texas, I would eat BBQ non-stop! Actually, I would live in Texas in a hearbeat, I really loved it down there!
I'm all about this kind of food! And Tucker got in some good Uncle Jason bonding time.
