Sea World

The weather was amazingly perfect for our day at Sea World. We couldn't have gone at a better time. The shows were fabulous, and we all had a great time. We are so happy that Mom, Dad and Richard Wayland were able to join us. It made for an unforgettable time!

Noah and I got to feed the dolphins. I've never done that before so I thought it was pretty awesome.

Daddy was super awesome and waited in the long line for Noah's first roller coaster ride while Noah and I checked out the surrounding fun. Here's Noah with his "Leap Frog" he won.
Daddy riding with Noah on his very first roller coaster. He absolutely loved it, and I could hear him yell "AGAIN!" as it slowed down. I am super excited because I love all things wild and crazy and have always wanted my kiddos to grow up loving them too. Noah has been in training since birth, and it proved fruitful as Noah was elated with this ride as well as a really big log ride we all went on. The log ride climbed 6 stories and had drops of 75 feet. It splashed us with cold water in the chilly evening, and Noah thought it was fantastic fun! That's my son!

The Shamu show, Believe, was incredible. I was wondering what it would be like since the trainers are no longer allowed in the water. It didn't hurt the show a bit. I was in awe at the unbelievable things that they can train these whales to do. It was truly unforgettable.

Noah even got to go up to the front for a close-up.

This was one of our very favorite shows. It had seals, an otter and a walrus. They were hilarious!

Upon finding out that the walrus had been stealing and eating all the fish from the fish factory, he was asked how he would work off all those extra calories. He rolled over and started doing sit-ups. We were cracking up. This show was worth the ticket price alone.

Of course, we had to stop by Bass Pro Shop in San Antonio the next morning.

Our little ladies man enjoying an ice cream cone in Fredericksburg on the way back home. He really is a little ladies man. While we waited in the incredibly long line for our log ride, Noah was charming two middle school girls in line behind us. They oohed and ahhed all over him. They hugged him, took like 20 pictures of him with their cell phones, talked to him and giggled at his antics. It was pretty funny to watch. I didn't hear the request, but at one point, I heard Noah say, "I don't kiss strangers." Anyway, he's quite the cutie-pie, and apparently, we're not the only ones that think so.
