Sea World

After the game yesterday, we drove to San Antonio to visit Nonna. One of the things we wanted to do was to go to Sea World one more time before my season pass ended and before the summer ended.

Right off when we first got there, we rode the Shamu roller coaster. I wasn't sure how he was going to like it--I was scared he might chicken out, cry, or scream (or a combination of any of those three). But he was very brave and did fantastic.

Next, we walked to the theater to watch the Sesame Street Presents Lights, Camera, Imagination 4D movie. Andrew sat through it, but he got a little scared when some of the 4D effects occurred. He was more scared at the movie than the roller coaster ride.

Then, we went to the Bay of Play, which was really cute and fun for Andrew. He rode the carousel, ran through the dancing water fountains, and climbed the big playscape. It was a really nice addition to the park.

After, we headed over to watch the Elmo & the Bookeneer show, which was a big hit. It went over much better than the 4D experience. Actually, I probably have to say that Andrew loved this probably the most of everything we did.

It was getting pretty late in the afternoon and almost time for someone to take a nap (or maybe more than just one of us). So, we ended up going home with the idea of coming back in the evening to do some more activities.

When we came back, we watched the sea lion show since it's one of Daddy's favorites. And then, James and Andrew went around a couple of times on the lazy river while I relaxed on a lawn chair. And the finale was the "rocking" Shamu show...meaning it was filled with rock songs mainly. It is always a good show and a crowd pleaser for our family. I so love Shamu...I think more so than Andrew does, sad to say. ;)

But we had a great day and fun time there. I think Andrew likes it more each time we go there so that's always a good feeling.

I forgot the SLR so the earlier photos were taken with my cell phone; and that's why the quality isn't that great.
