Sea World

We have always loved Sea World, but we were a little disappointed this trip. The Shamu show was boring, since the trainers are no longer allowed to get in the water with the whales. They also took out the log ride which was a family favorite. The water park entrance is no longer part of a your Sea World entrance, it is 30 dollars more on top of your regular Sea World entrance, so we didn't get to cool off in the water park. Jacob and I had to wait in line for an hour just to get a hamburger for lunch, everyone else went to get pasta and pizza, but Jacob wanted a hamburger so I waited in line with him. It was absolutely ridiculous! We still had fun, but it was hot and we missed the Sea World from a few years ago! There was a funny show at the end of the day at the Sea Lion's Stadium, they spoofed all the other shows and the security guards, so glad we went to that show! We also had fun taking pictures in the gift shop's where we went to cool off!

Fiesta Texas

We took a short weekend vacation to San Antonio last weekend. We were going to go to Florida this week, until we found out Jacob had football practice this week, so we settled for San Antonio. It was HOT!!! It was 104 all the days we were there and it felt like it. Our first stop was Fiesta Texas.
Getting ready to hit the park!

Waiting in line for the gates to open

This is suppose to be a picture of how soaked we were getting off the Gully Washer, but Matthew, cut us off at the waist and missed the ride sign in the back ground and he was running from a bee so he didn't take any more pics. 




Like the guy in the background photo bombing us

A ride Matthew, Jacob and I elected to skip!




Jacob running from a bee! There were bees every where, but they were harmless, but it was fun to watch Jacob squirm!

A storm started to blow through so we headed out of the park and made it to the car just in time
