Sea World!

We had a blast over Memorial Day weekend at Sea World (that's why I have over 200 pictures!) with John and Rachel and David (Justin's brother), Marian, Sophia, and Julian. We also went to the river walk in San Antonio the night before which we love. Sea World was amazing (never been before). I couldn't believe all the shows. Allie was mezmorized while watching them. Thank you John and Rachel for a wonderful weekend!!

getting ready to go

Shamu roller coaster (David and Julian in the front; Allie is in the 3rd seat back with Sophia but she didn't make it in Justin's shot)

These were taken at/near the river walk and in front of the Alamo. Allie and Sophia loved dancing while the musicians played during dinner. We also enjoyed a boat ride on the river. And of course, Allie makes a new friend everywhere we go!


It was amazing watching the girls feed and pet the dolphins.


The Shamu show 'Believe' was great! Allie wanted to get wet so bad but the splashes missed us.


Journey to Atlantis: I can't believe my then 4 year old baby rode this! Justin cheated and got her past even though she was not quite tall enough. Click on the collage to make it bigger and see how excited she was on the way down. Justin said that you 'free fall' at the very top. I can't believe she loved it and wasn't scared at all!!


I can't remember the name of this show but it was truly incredible! Acrobats came from every direction. Extremely fun to watch.


This was Allie's favorite show~ can't remember it's name either but the sea lions and walrus (which was really ugly) were great. Allie loved watching the sea lions do their different tricks.


Allie and Sophia enjoying the spray park area


Riding the Shamu roller coaster. Allie took home her very own purple sea lion for lasting 10 hours at Sea World! We even endured a rain shower during lunch.


The next morning before leaving, some enjoyed a dip in the hotel pool.
We had a great time and enjoyed spending time with family. We're ready to do it again!!
