We spent one rainy day at the huge mall, got rained out a few hours early the first day at Sea World. The rest of the time we hung out at the resort and swam mostly. Chance and I rented a two seater bike one day. Note to self: make sure your helper can reach the peddles before renting next time, ha!
I stuck to my plan and we only ate out a couple of times. I brought tons of groceries and we made one trip to Super Target for a few more things. The food is too damned expensive and not worth it. My mom likes to go to those $25 seafood buffets, no way. I was saving my money to spoil the kids ! side note: gas was only $3.26 down there and on the way home I saw $2.88!
I absolutely love Sea World ! This was Chance's third time and the girls' second though, they were just babies the first. Chance has always had an attraction to water and the ocean. He is just amazed and enthralled every time he sees the whales, dolphins, sea turtles, etc. He of course started asking to go feed the dolphins and sting rays as soon as we pulled in the parking lot. I convinced him to skip the sting rays, he tried it last year and was so nervous he just threw all the shrimp in the water. You're supposed to put the shrimp in between your fingers and hold your hand at the bottom of the water and wait for a stingray to come along and grab it...yeah right. He fed the dolphins. The girls were in love, we all got to touch them. Sophia called them her sweeties. Olivia wanted to go swimming in their pool, lol. There is a kids area at Sea World too, a place where the kids can run and jump in water to cool off. Grandma didn't want to sit there long, she was too anxious to get to the Anheuser Busch Hospitality center for free beer, he he. Oh, we also had all an you can eat buffet for lunch and sat right next to the whale tanks. We got to watch the whales swim around while we were eating ! How cool is that ?! Compliments of my mom. She said it was my birthday present :)
Ok, all of this is just to set up the pics. I think there is one that I'm actually *in* and only by accident. I was on my way out of the picture when it was taken. I tend to end up behind the camera, always have.
Shamu. Chance wanted nothing to do with him. The girls were okay but Olivia wouldn't touch him, lol.
Sophia and Olivia at the viewing tank.
Chance feeding the Dolphins. It was very hard to get good pics because he needed help get up on the wall.

Photo Spot. I have pics of Chance here from the two previous visits. Seems kind of symbolic this time with his sisters in the picture :)
That's all for now. More pics to come...I have to get to bed.Plus, I keep losing my signal and it's going to drive me nuts. See Joelie, it's not when we chat ;)

Okay, first of all, I LOOOOOVE this blog. I LOOOOOOVE. No, I LUUUUURVE it!!!
Secondly, freaking thanks a lot... Now I want to go to freakin' Sea World... Like I got the bux for that kind of trip! *eye roll* (BTW... Used to live in TX and just right around the corner from Sea World San Antonio... did I ever go? NO. I'm an idiot!)
Third, um, could your kids BE any more scrumptiously gorgeous?
And finally, THANK the UNIVERSE your signal doesn't just go out when we're chatting. I thought the Powers That Be (aka. PTB) were just against us communicating.
Hugs!!! Keep writing...
P.S. You sign up for November yet?
The kids look like they had a fabulous time. I'd LOVE to go to seaworld - it's like all my favorite Discovery Channel shows, on steroids!
Ok next time me and Addi are coming with you! I wanna go so bad. I've never pet a dolphin which is just ridiculous.
The kids look like they had so much fun. Sounds like you did too. Sorry it rained so much but sounds like you all had fun regardless. Love all the pics!
