A few weeks ago my best friend and her son came to visit us and we took a day trip to San Antonio to Sea World. It was a BLAST! Payten absolutely LOVES animals, so a day at Sea World was heaven for her. She LOVED watching the Shamu show and she also got to ride her very FIRST roller coaster. The roller coaster was called the Atlantis and she was a little too short for it, but the guy could see that she was so excited to ride it so he let us through. She LOVED it and throughout the day, we rode it 3 different times. We rode the log ride, but it wasn't good enough for her. She wanted the one with the bigger drop. She isn't scared of anything! The day was perfect and here are some pictures to prove it. :) The tickets we purchased are good for one year so we will DEFINITELY be back. IT was a GREAT trip!
When we first walked into the park, we wanted to measure Payten and see if she was tall enough for all the roller coasters. She measured 42 inches tall and was almost tall enough to ride all the FUN rides. As you can see, she needed to measure around 46 inches for the Journey to Atlantis, but the guy let her through, because she was way too excited. He didn't want to make a little girl cry. :)
Below are pics of the Shamu Show. It was AWESOME. We watched it twice. The huge whales are just so amazing when they are doing all their tricks and jumping through the air.
Here is Payten after her very first roller coaster. You can see that she was sooo HAPPY! I was so proud of her. It was so much fun. I wanted to ride it again just as much as she did. Looks like I am going to have a good roller coaster partner! (besides Matt) :)
Since Lacie is pregnant, she couldn't join in on the fun. So she watched all of our stuff and took pics while I took the kids on the coaster. You can see us in this pic if you look closely. We are on the second row and I am wearing a black shirt and Payten is wearing a yellow dress.
One of the highlights of the day was getting to feed the dolphins and being able to pet them. Payten LOVED it! It was awesome. They would come right up to you and grab the fish and they would talk to you and just stare at you. Payten almost touched one, but she was a little timid. I touched a dolphin! They are such sweet animals.
After riding the roller coaster for the third time, the kids wanted to stand right in the way of the HUGE water splash that the coaster gave off after coming down the huge hill. They literally got soaked, but they were having SO much fun so we let them be kids and enjoy themselves. The water would come towards them and they would just laugh and then take off running! Lacie and I were standing back just cracking up at them getting soaked!
