Family Vacation!!!!

This year we didn't go far but we had a lot of fun!!!! No sharks bits or plane rides, but we did go play with the animals of the sea!!! We traveled town south to SEA WORLD. We found a really great hotel that sounded so much fun to go to it had a lazy river and we could roast smores at night, and it was cheap, but we waited to long to book it and got stuck at the La Quinta Inn. Not the Hilton, but it was good and a nice place to rest our heads at night after a long day outside. The first day we went to Sea World with Ryan, Lindsey, and Livy, it was hot hot hot, but the shows were fun and it was fun to see how much the kids likes it. I think that Justin was surprised at how cool it really was.

The first day we did all the shows. We watched the sea lions, shamu, the water ski team of course, and the dolphins. We had to take a break in the middle of the day and float the lazy river in the water park for a while because it was ridiculously hot. If we were smart we would have sat in the splash zones, but we didn't because we didn't want to scare Liv.

The next day Ryan, Linds and Liv didn't come, but we went back to Sea World. The first thing that we did was go to Shamu and sat front row of the splash zone. That water is 50 degrees and felt like heaven on that hot day. We felt cool most of the day, granted it was still hot, but it was much better than the first day. That was the only show that we saw that day, we rode some roller coasters, and we went to all the feedings.

Braxten doesn't like trying new things, he wasn't excited to try this new ride, in fact he was crying all the way up, but we did it and he loved it. We rode it twice in fact!!!! Go braxten way to try new things!!!!!!!!!

Watching them feed the alligators was crazy!!!! They wouldn't feed the alligators unless they were in the water, if they came up on the shore there was a guy there to push them back in while the other two people would feed them whole chickens.

After the alligators we went to feed the dolphins.

The dolphins were crazy, two of them were fighting over a fish that Braxten was holding, was freaky, but nothing happened.

Next it was off to the sharks. They weren't feeding them that day, but it was still cool to look at them. Braxten took the camera and got a sweet picture.

They were however feeding the sting rays and fish.

You can't end a trip to San Antonio without going to the Alamo, although Braxten hasn't had any Texas history so he didn't know what it was, but he still wanted a souvenir. Funny kid!!!!
