Here's some pics from the Shamu Show--The kids loved this!!! Tristan especially--he kept pulling on my hand saying "we go touch whale, okay mommy? And FYI, Grandpa stayed pretty dry during this show--Mommy, Tristan, and Adreyn got DRENCHED!!!
Tomorrow, I'll try to get some video posted from the Shamu show.
Hope you've enjoyed the pics!!!!
Here are some pictures from the Dolphin/Beluga Whale show
Here's one of the trainers and a Beluga
The Beluga is pushing the trainer through the water
The Beluga is doing synchronized swimming
Can you see the dolphin?
Here's the guy who got Grandpa all wet!
Here are more SeaWorld pics--the first two are of the Coral Reef.
See the 2 Stingrays? 
Okay, here's the story behind "Grandpa gets WET!!!" See the blue box-looking thing on the right side of the picture? See the water spraying out of it? See the guy in the orange cap and blue coveralls? Well, the box-thingy had a few other box thingys that it sprayed water back and forth with (one was right next to where Grandpa was sitting) Anyway, we were enjoying the water show before the Beluga whale show. Then that guy in the blue coveralls began trying to "fix" the "water leak". Anyway, his antics go on and on and finally he is up on the blue box thingy next to Grandpa and another box is spraying water at the box by grandpa. Suddenly the guy grabs Grandpa's baseball cap off his head and uses it to try to "catch" the water. (of course it overflows onto the lady in front of the blue box thingy.) Then--you guessed it probably--Grandpa's cap ends up being held over his head and then dumped right on him--full of water. Grandpa was DRENCHED!!!! It sure made us and Grandma laugh though. We love you Grandpa!!!!
Here's Grandpa after he got drenched. Sorry--we were laughing so hard we couldn't get pictures before :)
Thursday we went to Seaworld. We had alot of fun but it was really, really HOT!!! We got back to the hotel with extremely tired kids, sunburns (with 50 spf on), tired legs, sore feet, and blisters.
Here's the kids eating breakfast before we leave for SeaWorld
SeaWorld Gate
Just before we go in. Adreyn would like for everyone to notice her really COOL Hannah Montana shirt (mom is excited because I got it for $5!)
Our first animal "encounter" was the dolphins. I just love dolphins. Here they just swim and play and every now and then you get to see them up close. Really close :) Adreyn actually touched one!
We arrived in San Antonio on Wednesday around 5pm. We checking into our hotel, cleaned up a little and then went to the Riverwalk for dinner.
Here is one of the "gondolas" for the riverboat tours. More about this in a later post :-)
Here's my boys.
The Alamo at night
The Alamo again--funny story. Rehanyn has heard us talking about the Alamo recently and has decided that we were going to see "Elmo". She has been asking to see "Elmo" repeatedly and now thinks that the Alamo is "Sesame Street" and "Elmo" lives there. We can't seem to change her mind--so this is Sesame Street and Elmo lives in there--in case you were wondering. Also, Adreyn told me that she doesn't want to go in the Alamo because she was pretty sure there were dead bodies in there and she doesn't want to see them. Don't know where she got that from but okay--whatever.
They also have horse drawn carriage rides around the Alamo and surrounding areas--they were so pretty (lit up with christmas lights) I tried to get pictures but couldn't get them to turn out very well. I'll try another time.
Overall a great time but we were sooooo ready to go to sleep!
The kids wanted to say hello to their cousins and tell them about their day. Here ya go!!! :-)
Sorry about the finger up the nose in rehanyn's video--what can I say--she's 3
(notice Tristan goofing off in the background)
Silly face (she won't stay still!!!)
Here's some more video of the kids--Tristan and Rehanyn this time. We are working on their ABC flashcards. I know the video is dark--I forgot to turn on a light but at least you can see how excited they are to be learning. You'll see how Tristan can read some of the words and how much Rehanyn likes "Queen". There are 6 videos I think--I'll try to list them in order. Enjoy!
Hope you enjoyed them--have a GREAT day!
Here's a video of our kids during our outing at the mall. You'll notice Rehanyn being silly and if you listen closely you will hear Tristan saying "I'm hungry" a couple of times. This video was taken on my new phone so I apologize up front for the grainyness. We had stopped at a store before going to the food court and the whole time before we got to the food court Tristan started a chant that consisted of saying "I'm hungry" over and over and over and over and over (get my drift :))
Here's another video of the kids acting silly and reminding me that if I ask a basic question I shouldn't be suprised when I get a basic answer.
Hope you enjoy seeing the kids. If you want you can have 'em :-) Just Kidding!!!!!
