Sea World

The boys are finally feeling better so we took them to Sea World in San Antonio this weekend. The trip down there was great until the last 20 minutes during which Dylan cried until he finally fell asleep. Poor baby HATES the car seat and that is the only time that I wish he would take a paci. He doesn't need it except in the car to help him soothe himself to sleep. As soon as he starts fussing, we know it's the storm before the calm but listening to him cry that long in such cramped quarters is enough to drive you insane! He did get a good 20 minute nap before we got there which was good enough to keep him going all day.

First stop was the dolphins which is always my favorite. Jake had a permanent grin the whole time and held his hand out to touch them. Next was aquarium which the boys thoroughly enjoyed because there was a scuba diver on the inside of the tank giving them high fives against the glass pane. Jake thought that was super cool. We saw the Shamu show afterwards and Dylan sat still for about 10 minutes before Scott had to take him outside because he just wanted to get down and roam around. Jake and I got a kick out of the whales splashing everyone with their tales and then he wanted to leave to go find Dada, his hero. Next stop was the sea lions which was almost as cool as the dolphins but not quite. I bought some nectar to feed the birds and Jake and I got to go inside and birds landed on our arms. One actually landed on Jake's head which was hilarious and he kept taking his hat off to find it. We stopped by the dolphins one more time before we left and Jake spent 20 minutes sticking his hands in the dolphin's water. I told him that he would turn into a dolphin if he kept putting his hand in the water and he thought that was really silly. The boys were absolute angels the whole time so Dada bought them an enormous Shamu to bring home that is as big as Jake. They love it to pieces and give it huge bear hugs and kisses all day long. So sweet!
