SeaWorld!

We found out from my friend, Heather, that military can go to SeaWorld here in San Antonio FOR FREE once a year. We decided to take advantage before Thanksgiving, Christmas, and more importantly, before the New Year started, so we can go again sometime in 2010. We had such a good time!

There were actually a lot of cool-looking adult roller coasters. But I'm not really a roller coaster fan, and since we had the kids, Joe decided to not ride them as well. Maybe next time . . .

Pink flamingos in the background. Dottie was excited about them. Incidentally, did you know that pink flamingos are pink from eating shrimp?

This is my favorite picture: Elliot with his perma-point on as he looks at the fish.

This was probably the kids favorite thing, the squirty water toys. Isn't crazy that they were able to swim in the middle of November? We brought Dottie's suit, but we didn't think the kids would actually swim, so Elliot just played in his diaper and t-shirt.

Our most memorable experience? We went to a 3D show with special effects at the end of the day. The kids were a little emotionally undone after a full day. So, you can imagine the screaming and crying that happened when they were squirted with water in the face and neck four or five times during the show. Instead of being good parents and removing our kids from the show, Joe and I just laughed.
