At the beginning of April, we decided to take a road trip to San Antonio and meet our friends, the Simmons' and Rentfro's at Seaworld! We were so excited to take the kids here and it did not disappoint! We went on a Friday and got there just when it opened. It was a little chilly when we first arrived, but it warmed up really quick and was perfect the entire day!

The kids all did great - we watched several shows including the Sea Lion show, Beluga Whale show, and of course, Shamu show. All of them were good, but I was the least impressed with the Shamu show. Cooper loved the Beluga Whale show because he said the people in the show were like Spiderman...and I could see why he would say that because they moved like him!

Most of the kids went on the little Shamu Express rollercoaster, but Addi was ready for something bigger! :) Kevin, Addison, Joe and Cole went on the boat rollercoaster. They sat 4 across with about 5 rows in a boat. The kids were sitting on the outside because the dads were trying to avoid getting soaking wet. The kids LOVED it! They would have ridden it over and over again if we would have had time! After it comes down, it makes a huge title wave splash and gets all the on-lookers soaked! Reid and Cooper LOVED that part!

The adults took turns ourselves and headed to the big rollercoasters - I have not been on a rollercoaster in a long time...I was a little scared I have to say! The kids all did great the entire day without naps and we ended up heading out by around 3:00 before any meltdowns occurred!
Our family and the Rentfros went on to stay at the Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch, which was absolutely PERFECT for our families. The Simmons' went back to stay with their family in Comfort - we were sad they weren't able to stay and play! :) The resort had all kinds of kid / family friendly activities to do - game archade, movie night on the lawn, swimming pools, water slides, water volleyball, sand volleyball, nature trails, horseshoes, shuffleboard, playground, hammocks, a huge fort by an outdoor restaurant...and I could go on!

On Sunday, we went to the Riverwalk and had lunch and then it was time to head home...we were all exhausted, but still wished we had more time at that resort. On the way home, Cooper said that the sun was in his face so this was his solution...
And yes, he did sleep like this for a while...and yes, I did check to make sure he wasn't suffocating underneath the blanket every few minutes! What a fun trip!!!
