Sea World

I had this great idea that we should take K to Sea World in San Antonio a few weeks ago. I remember all the times that I have been and how much I used to enjoy it, so I thought she would just love all of the animal shows! Not much had changed since the last time I was there 10+ years ago except that they have added a large water park area.

I should have known better than to take her to a place that has water involved. Anyone that knows my child knows that she LOVES water. Ever since she was a baby she has loved to go swimming, at times I swear she is part fish! She could have cared less that there were large whales and penguins to see. Although I must give her credit as she was such a good girl for us while we were there (especially for us not knowing she had a double ear infection), she just couldn't understand why she couldn't swim in Shamu's pool, or the dolphin's pool, or the water ski show lake. Her only words all day were when are we going swimming! So after trekking through Sea World in 100 degree heat and no wind, we came to the Lost Lagoon waterpark and enjoyed a good hour of playing in the water!

She was a very happy girl at the end of the day, but mom and dad were worn out! We have decided we'll wait about five more years before we take that adventure again and maybe go in the cooler months of fall next time! For now we'll just stick with Schlitterbahn, our local water park on South Padre Island, they have a great children's area!
