Parking Passes--$60
Sea World Souvenior PONCHOS (13 of them)--$78
Wal Mart run for "in hotel" activities--$100
Family and Friend Fun--- PRICELESS
We took a little trip to Sea World, San Antonio with our friends the Yarbroughs and Uncle Chuck (13 total). What we initially thought to be the hottest week all summer turned out to be the wettest.
Our first day at Sea World, it was reported to have rained 10 inches!!! We stayed only long enough to feed the dolphins and watch Shamu. (oh yea and blow our souvenior money on ponchos--one for everyone) We were all miserable, cold, wet, hungry and dissapointed. We rushed back to the hotel where all 7 kids had to be entertained with tv and an elevator. I'm surprised we weren't kicked out!
To our surprise we got a "rain check"...so we headed back the next day. It rained on us a little, but we were prepared with our ponchos, umbrellas and "non-socked" shoes :) It ended up being a WONDERFUL day with hardly anyone in the park. The big kids (me too) got to ride the big roller coaster (THE GREAT WHITE) 6-7 times (4 times in a roll, not even getting out) It was great fun.
The last day we made it back to Sea World for the water park fun. This was on Saturday and everyone that had a "rain check" from Thursday came and brought all 14 of their relatives! It was crazy busy, and hot! But we had a grand time anyway. What did I learn? 1. Always pack more than just tank tops. 2. And Jennifer, it's not that crazy to bring a jacket to San Antonio in the August! 3. You can never have enough snacks!

Don't have a clue how that posted twice. Honestly, I only typed it once. But Rana is standing here with me, and I've learned that they are able to discover things on the computer I never thought possible.
Family/Friend vactions make long lasting memories, especillay when things don't go according to plan. Of course, you already knew that. Wish I could have been there.....
Oh, I love Sea World. Looks like an "unforgettable" time. I think the rain situation has to do with the Yarbroughs. Didn't you read the Celebrate Freedom post on their blog before you invited them on vacation?? Just kidding.
I love it! I heard about the rains in Texas and thought, ahh, poor sis, they're getting all rained out on their vacation... but it turned out to be just a clean sweep from our sweet Lord just for you guys to have a great time! I love the photos! wish I could've been there with you, I would've definitely ridden the all the rides with all of ya 10x each!
that will live on forever as "the best vacation ever!"
That looks like so much fun! What memories!
