Sea World

Last Thursday we headed down to San Antonio for a long weekend. Ollie fortunately had several days off, so we took advantage of it and went on our first family vacation (mini). Genevieve was so excited our first night there she couldn't go to sleep. She kept popping up in her bed to see what was going on. I think she was worried we were going to leave her in the hotel room or something. We kept having to tell her to go night night! She finally fell asleep at 11:30 that night and woke up the next morning around 7:00. We were worried she would be a mess and fall apart that day with so little sleep, but she was a trooper. She had a ball at Sea World, despite the heat! She loved going to all the shows and as they were coming to an end, she would lean over to me and tell me she didn't want it to be over yet. Reassuring her that we'd go to another show helped. We saw a total of four shows. Viva!, which was acrobats from land, sea and air perform with beluga whales and pacific white-sided dolphins was her favorite. Believe is where we saw Shamu. It was entertaining, but I think Shamu was off his game this day. He didn't seem to do as many tricks as I remember as a kid, but we still enjoyed it. The Cannery Row Caper was a cute mystery story put on by sea lions, a walrus and a otter. Our last show, Cool Vibrations, was a production of daredevil skiers and talented singers. In addition to all the shows, we had so much fun going to the Dolphin Cove, the Penguin Encounter, the Sharks, the Coral Reef and Alligator Alley. Oh, and when Anson wasn't passed out from all the excitement, he seemed to have a good time too:) Overall Sea World was a success!
