Sea World Fun!

This past week, I took Ben on a much anticipated trip to Sea World. We went with some good friends, Cooper and "Mama Shana". The Mommas had so much fun and we really enjoyed our quality time with our toddlers! (We both have young babies at home and we both agree that it is much harder to have good, quality time with our older boys since the babies were born!) Anyway, we had a blast! Ben and I had so much fun playing, seeing shows, feeding dolphins, and riding roller coasters---yes! I took Ben on his first roller coaster rides!---that I really don't know who had more fun...Ben or Mommy!?! Here are some pictures of our fun-filled day:

Feeding the dolphins!

Ben, waiting to GO on the Shamu Roller Coaster (in the kiddie park!). He was a little nervous, but after the initial jolt on the coaster, he screamed and even raised his hands in the air! He loved it! :-)

Ben and Cooper posing in front of a race car!

Silly Ben at lunch. :-P

Waiting patiently for Shamu to arrive!

SHEER JOY at the sight of Shamu!!!! (I absolutely love this picture. It completely encapsulates our day.) :-)

Since the Shamu roller coaster was so fun, we decided to take the boys on Rio Loco! Ben wasn't too sure about getting so wet, but when it was all said and done...the water felt good and we loved it! Here's our "wet t-shirt pic"!

The Mommas let the boys ride on a ride by themselves! Here is Ben and Cooper getting ready to ride on the Penguin Egg ferris wheel!

Can you see Ben peeking his head out at the top of the ride? :-)

At the very end of our day, we let the boys play around in more water! It was a whopping 102 in San Antonio that day, and probably hotter at Sea World with all that pavement. Here is Momma Shana and the boys splashing around!

Ben LOVED the water pipe waterfall! The water was cool--and quite refreshing!

Two Silly Boys. (This is what you get when you ask two boys to smile at the camera.)

And finally, we treated the boys (and ourselves) to some candy on our way out of the park. The boys opted for chocolate (Kit Kats) and the Mommas wanted yogurt covered pretzles and vanilla Rocky Road fudge! Yummy! Perfect ending to a perfect day.
