Aquatica {Day 2}

We returned for another day at Sea World, but this time we hit the water park! We missed seeing the dolphins and sharks on the first day, so we started there and headed to the water. It was a cloudy day but turned out sunny and perfect. We rode one "ride" as a family, but we spent a lot of time at the different pools. Lots of things for the kids to do. Lots and lots of slides. A lazy river and a huge wave pool. Karson and I were waiting for everyone to finish at the lazy river and found a small pool near by. Karson of course had to poop all day, but was too busy to stop and go. Finally, he said "I have to poop!" We hurried out and off to the bathroom. He went and we headed back to the little pool. Well, lets just say he wasn't done and pooped in the POOL!! They had to clear the entire area! It was embarrassing but what can you expect the kid didn't have time to stop and poop! There's water everywhere and slides that needed his attention! ;) Super gross Karson!

Journey to Atlantis

Our first roller coaster/water ride as a family of four. We were all excited that everyone was tall enough to actually ride! It was a fun ride and I couldn't believe that Karson wanted to ride it. He is my reserved child that likes to stand back and watch the action. His sister on the other hand, is crazy. She has no fear. I could tell quickly that Karson was not about the ride at all. His face turned red and holy terror set in. He never cried, but it was as close as it gets. It was later in the day when we rode this ride and the line was minimal. Karson rode only once, but Ansley rode I believe 5-6 times. It was so much fun watching her face and the excitement she had for the ride. She is a daredevil. She is full of spunk and drama. I'm so grateful for the experience of Sea World and the memories that were made. To this day Karson still asks "when are we going to Sea World?" That folks was worth the 12 hour drive, 4 Shamu shows and the drama that goes with a 2 and 4 year old! :)

Shamu

We had an awesome time at the killer whale show's! Yes, 4 shows in total! Karson's favorite part by far! 

Sea World {San Antonio}

What a great time we had on our first real family vacation! The kids did wonderful without having naps. Yes, they had a few melt downs, but overall they did wonderful! It took us 12 hours to get there! It was a long ride in the van, but the kids had plenty of things to keep them busy! We had plenty of snack and activities to keep them busy! This was the first time that any of us had been to Sea World and it was a awesome experience. Something that I'd love to go back to. We took Zach's parents with us too! They do so much for us and we wanted to give a little back to let them know how much we appreciate all they do for us!

 

We spent two days at the park. Over 18 hours spent there! Ansley loved the roller coaster/water ride and Karon loved the killer whale show! We actually went to 4 different Shamu shows! We loved every minute of the shows. All the shows were impressive! Wouldn't complain about anything! I edited over 400 pictures of our trip! :)
