Sea World On My Own Again

I took the kids to Sea World by myself again. Gavin and Renée didn't have school so we drove down on Monday and got there around 1:30. We met up with the Thurmans and the Richardsons while we were there. We stayed at La Quinta and got to have Texas shaped waffles, which makes them taste better. Sea World doesn't officially open until 10am but Dolphin Cove opens at 9am. We like to go early and feed the dolphins. They are hungry and egger to interact with you in the morning. The kids all got to pet them and it was a highlight of the trip. Some of our other highlights were finding a tiny little lizard, which they fought over holding until I made them let it go. Gavin and Renée rode Rio Loco 4 times. There wasn't ever a line. This is why I love Sea World in November. The kids got to hold an alligator. Santa visited Sea World and they got to sit on his lap. We got to see the Polar Express in a 4D theater. It was the 18 minute version, which I personally like better than the full feature. It really was a great trip. Sam had to work and go to school but we missed him. On Tuesday night we stayed in Austin with Christian (Sam's brother) and his wife Tera. The kids had a sleep over with their cousins and it was fun to see them again. Thanks for having us!
