San Antonio and Sea World

This August we got a long weekend and headed to San Antonio with our friends Brekke, Matt and their daughter Audrey. We planned a full day at Sea World on Saturday. We had breakfast in the room, packed lunch into the cooler and set out for the park. Audrey was very attentive to Scarlett and loved to talk with her.
Once we planned out what we were going to do for the day, we grabbed a quick family photo.
Robert's sister Becca and her husband, Jr, met us at the park and came to some of the shows with us. It was Scarlett's first time meeting her Aunt and Uncle.
Scarlett was a trooper through all the heat and humidity. As soon as she'd fall asleep in her stroller we'd have to wake her up to take her out for a show. She was still a really good girl and was so happy for the most part.
Matt introduced us to feeding the dolphins. It was so fun to watch how excited Nate got. He had a hard time reaching the dolphin to touch it. We had a really nice lady next to us that would get the dolphins over to her and let Nate try and get a pet. I would say this was a highlight of the day.

The shows were a lot of fun. Nate loved them. This one was especially fun. The kids were riveted.

We took the kids on the kiddie rides. It was really fun to sit and talk to Nate as we went around the Egg Ferris Wheel. The sun was direct on the ride and we got roasted!
Nate's favorite ride is the kind where there's a drop. He rode this one a couple of times in a row. He takes after both his parents when it comes to his love for rides.
The little kiddie roller coaster was so fun. Nate had such a good time. Robert was grinning the whole time. Taking kids to parks is so hard because it's a long day and it was hot. We had a few melt downs for both kids and parents, but it is so worth it when you look back at the pictures and everyone is so happy.
At the end of the day we made a stop at the gift shop. Audrey got a stuffed shark and Nate got a Sea World hat with Shamu on it. Aren't they cute?
On Sunday, since we'd forgotten to get a picture with all of us at the park, we posed in the hotel lobby. It was such a fun trip. I just have to point out Brekke. Isn't she so cute pregnant?
So this last photo is not during our trip, but it's so funny I had to put it up. We were at Matt and Brekke's and we were watching Project Runway. Robert was not a fan and was making so much fun of us and the show. Eventually, he and Scarlett fell asleep watching it. Pretty sweet.

It was so fun!

Attentive is such a nice way of putting Audrey's attitude towards Scarlett.

What a fun trip! I love all the pictures of Nate and Scarlett. She is a gorgeous little baby, and sounds like she is pretty easy going, which is so great! I was missing you guys as I was looking at your pictures. I hope we will be able to see you around the holidays. You have such a cute family.
