Spring Break Day 5=Sea World!

Friday we headed to Sea World. I was SO excited because I knew Carter would love it, and he did! Despite the huge crowds (the biggest I have ever seen) we had a blast! We started the morning with the breakfast of champions...dounuts-ha!


Our first stop at Sea World was "Shamu's Happy Harbor" Carter has so much fun bouncing in the bounce house!

The we looked at the alligators!


Ohh!

The we went to see the Seseme Street show. Carter was SO excited to see Elmo!

Eating "pop-pop" waiting to Elmo to come on stage!


The show was awesome! Carter thought it was so cool!

All of the shows were so crowded that you had to get there at least 30 minutes early to get a seat. Here we are taking a snack break waiting for the dolphin/beluga show to start.

Cheese!

Waiting for the show to start with Colt. He kept saying "wa-wa" (water)

Getting a little sleepy.

In awe of the dolphins.

In the dolphin show there are people dressed up weird and they freaked hin out. Here he is cuddling with Ma. He wasn't scared of the dolphins.....just the people.

The beluga whale with it's trainer. It was so sweet.....there was a baby with the mama whale.

Kisses for the trainer.
Carter wanted to carry the bucket.


He fell asleep walking through the crowds! Colt and I rode the "Great White" roller coaster while he took a little nap.

Waiting for the seal and walrus show.

Mr. Walrus!

During our show one of the seals was acting up....it was pretty funny!
We fed a seal after the show.

See our fish in the water?!?

Hello Mr. Seal!



Cater and Colt pet a Clydsdale. This is as close as they would let me get to take a picture.

Watching the fish eat!


Waiting to see Shamu.....eating a snack! We had to get to the Shamu show 45 minutes early to get a seat.


Carter and Shamu!

A little sleepy still so he needed his "buh."

Cool trick Shamu!

We are at the VERY BACK of the "Spalsh Zone" but still got drenched. It scared Carter to death! I think it was all the screaming. Not to self- steer clear of the splash zone!!!

Colt was happy about it!

Poor baby!! :(

At least I brought dry clothes to chance into.

All better!

Time to go!!! One last pose with a penguin. What a fun day!!

Spring Break Day 4=Headed to San Antonio

Thursday we got up bright and early and headed to my favorite bagel spot, Einsteins for breakfast. Carter liked his bagel.


Colt liked his too!

After breakfast we went to the Co-op to get some UT gear. Colt was so sweet and bought Carter a UT basketball!

Uncle Austin and his friend were in town for South by Southwest, so we met them at Trudy's for lunch.

Carter loved his rice, beans and quesidillas.

Then we headed to New Bransfuls to Landa Park. Once again, is was a beautiful day. We had a great time and got to ride another train!!


On the way there we stopped at out favorite bakery and ate our cookies on the train.
Carter loved watching the squirrels run alongside the train. He kept calling them dogs!!

Carter and Colt in front of the train.


Headed to the springs with Ma.

Silly boy!

Checking out the water on the bridge.

Sweet boy.

Testing the water.

Choosing a rock.

Carter and Colt spent almost an hour throwing rocks into the water.


After spending a long time at the park we headed to our hotel in San Antonio.

Carter and Colt had fun swimming in the hotel's pool!


After our swim we headed to Chick-fil-a for a late dinner. Carter liked with ice cream he got for dessert!

Colt liked his too!
