San Antonio

We always go to San Antonio the day after Christmas - or relatively soon there-after! Seriously, San Antonio in December is magical...the Riverwalk is all lit up with lights hanging from every tree and Christmas music is playing everywhere! SeaWorld itself is all Christmassy too with scuba-diving santas, giant Christmas trees and again, Christmas music playing from every corner of the park!!!

This year, was a bit different from last year…one more kid added to the mix makes a a bit of a difference! And the FREEZING cold weather definitely was a change! Last year we did SeaWorld in shorts and flip flops…this year we were bundled up in layer after layer…hats and gloves and coat galore! Last year we even swam in the hotel’s outdoor pool…this year, we hurried the kids from place to place with umbrellas and coats bundled on!

We went to the Shamu show and it was PACKED since 'due to technical difficulties' the previous show had been cancelled! We had seats right down in front…perfect…except for the fact that we were in the splash-zone! Here’s the video that Steve shot…talk about perfect timing! Steve and Garrett got soaked. Ethan miraculously stayed pretty dry and the rest of the group didn’t even get a splash! Olivia and I were dry as well…especially since we squeezed in a few rows up…well out of harm’s way! :)



We had a great time...from waiting in line for rides (and then having E chicken out and flat-out REFUSE to go on it!), to catching the shows (LOVED the 4D Polar Express...though maybe i really liked it because it gave us a chance to warm up a bit!), to visiting with friends, and watching my little ones grow up before my very eyes. We all had a blast and had a wonderful time just being together!

Edited to add...more pictures are coming...this is just all I had time for right now! :)
