Adventures at Sea World

Mommy LOVES Sea World so, before the summer ended, Acey had to go. Here he is before we headed out the door.

Actually, we dropped my car off for an oil change and then went off to Sea World...it applies later in the post.

HONEY actually bought us fish to feed the dolphins. Gross, gross, gross. The things I do for Ace. If I had only let him do it. When there was only one fish left, he grabbed it out of the tray and threw it in the dolphin pool himself.

Next was the Shark exhibit. Ace especially loved the jellyfish and the sharks. He kept saying, "There's Bruce." (Bruce is the Shark in Shark Tale.) We definitely watched Shark Tale and Nemo before going to Sea World so that we could look for them when we got there.

This photo was taken at the first show of the day. He was a wild man, running up and down the bleachers!!!

It was HOT. Honey got Ace a frozen lemonade which he loved. It was almost as big as he is.

The second show was SHAMU. Ace wasn't as into it as I hoped he would be but the flips and jumps were fantastic.

We stpopped for a popcorn break. This is a photo of a hot, tired, toot of a two year old.

To cool off, we hit Shamu's Happy Harbor. He was in HEAVEN. We went during one of the shows so there weren't a lot of kids (we tried to go to that show but Ace was too tired to pay attention to it). Once the show let out, it was a madhouse. Getting Ace to leave was a misery.

We had to race back to get Mommy's car from the oil change place. It's a good think we left when we did because this little man was OUT in a matter of minutes after we left the park.

Groan of a side note: It turned out I needed new brakes (as in, the car guy said they wouldn't last through next week!) and four new tires. Got the new tires put on Saturday morning, went to pick up Kate for dinner and as I turned around on her street I GOT A FLAT TIRE!!! Luckily, her friend, Daniel, was close by and he gave us a 101 class on how to change a tire.

We managed to still have dinner but Ace and I had to stay in San Antonio through Monday to get a FIFTH new tire and, yes, I had to pay for it. Ouch.

We had such a great time. It's a do-over for next summer.
