SeaWorld

One of the best parts of our trip was going to SeaWorld. Kressyda and her kids Elliot and Olive drove up from Laredo to spend the day with us. Cameron even joined us for part of the day. It was so nice to spend some time with our good friends. We miss them!

My favorite part of Seaworld was feeding and petting the dolphins. What a cool experience!

One of the other highlights of our day was the "Believe" show with Shamu the whale. We sat in the splash zone and Grammie and the boys got soaking wet. Somehow my dad, Kressyda and I managed to stay dry. My mom was a good sport.

Brady has always loved Elliott, and he had fun seeing him again.

These two were lucky that Gramps pushed them around all day in this stroller.

Olive was a cutie in Drew's spiderman sunglasses.

Grant and Brady were good sports and rode the Shamu Express little roller coaster with Brent and Drew.

This splash area was a great place to cool down. There is a water park at SeaWorld, but it wasn't open the day we were there.

Frozen lemonade on a hot day tastes so good!

We visited the penguin encounter at the end of the day. Everyone was starting to get tired by then, and the stroller was the coveted seat.

Drew and Elliott were having a conversation about whether the animal they were looking at was a penguin or a puffin. Drew has missed his little buddy Elliott. I'm glad they remembered each other.

The very last thing we did before we went home was the Texas Splashdown log ride.

It was great that SeaWorld wasn't that busy when we were there, so the lines were really short for everything.

Poor Grammie got the wettest of everyone on the log ride and even in the Shamu show. It just wasn't her day, I guess.

Drew thought the log ride was "AWESOME!"

We had so much fun at Seaworld that we ended up going back the next day even though we hadn't planned on it.
