Seaworld!

Okay so I don't have any pictures of our day at Sea world San Antonio, but we did go. I forgot our camera and our stroller. Oops! That actually turned out better. The strollers there are huge and could hold 3-4 kids if needed. We needed 3 to board it most of the day. I really thought that maybe Holden would walk now that he is 6, but no, he was more then willing to sit right down and get the ride to the rides. :) He is a total homebody and he kept on saying, "okay I'm ready to go home now." This was at around 11am. The park just opened. Finally after I told him that I can't just take him home b/c we were 3 hours away he kind of stopped asking about it.
Anyway, it was a great day. We started out with getting pulled over on our drive up, but the cop was really nice and said, "I'll give you a warning this time." Then he proceeded to tell us he grew up in Pearland and told us a few stories about how small it was. Emily then told us on our way out that Josh was saying in a mad voice to the police officer, "Get away right now!"
Russ had taken off the day so we could go during the week to beat the crowd. Most of the day Russ had the older kids on the crazy rides. I took the little ones to the shows, which they loved. Then we'd meet up for meals whenever we could. We bought these passes that you can eat all day for one price, and we ate all day long, even when we weren't hungry. :) The only thing was I didn't read the small print stating that the feeding the dolphins closed at 6pm. So when we walked over there at 7pm to just pet them I was so sad for my kids that they didn't have that opportunity. Oh well, maybe next time.
It was really nice to go somewhere with just our family. These days that rarely happens. Poor Russ had to go to work the next day with 6 hours of sleep and moonlight that evening, plus he's working all day Saturday. We loved the time we had with him!
