Sea World

This was a very exciting and eventful trip. However, we left Luke here with Me Maw and Papa where he was much happier. I felt a 5 hour trip was just too long for him. However, he had a blast with his grandparents. But, I missed him greatly!! He is my little sunshine

OK. we left at about 10:30am and arrived in San Antonio at about 4: 30 pm. We had plans to spend the night with David, Chantel, and Avery. This includes stopping at McDonald's for lunch so Jake could play, and Target. Jake was very eager to see Avery. When we arrived, Chantel took us on a tour of her new home which was absolutely beautiful. Then we decided to go to the fire station where David was working. The kids played and ran around the firetruck. It was neat to see how different the fire stations are in San Antonio compared to Palestine. I believe David is at Station #41 and Dwayne is at Station#2 but there are only four stations total. Wow !!

Well we decided it was time to get some grub!!! So Chantel suggested "Macaroni Grill". All I can say is BREAD !!!!!!!!! YUMMY!!!! It is so scrumptious.

Let's skip to the Park. Woke up and had a big breakfast and headed off to SEAWORLD!!! How exciting. My first family vacation except without my little precious! We had so much fun. Roller coaster, mini Ferris wheel, Shamu, 3-D shows, wave pool, slides. We had a BLAST!! However, it was extremely hot, wheel broke off of stroller, dropped camera in water- and yes it broke!!! But the memory card was safe. And poor Chantel, 5 mths pregnant, trying to keep up with two 3yr olds. Her poor feet!! But besides all that, it was a lot of fun. Avery and Jake had a great time. They play very well together. They have known each other since they were born. They also loved holding hands. Ahh, they are so sweet.

However, the ending to the vacation was not so great, Jake woke up crying hysterically at 1:00am. He would not stop. He was so scared! I think it was the pirate movie we watched at Sea World. It was pretty scary for a 3 yr old. Avery actually started crying during the movie so maybe, that was my sign to leave. Anyways, Dwayne decided that we would just drive home so he could sleep in the car and that is just what he did all the way home. But we still had a great time and hope to visit David, Chantel, and Avery again, hopefully when that baby girl is born.
