Cousins Trip 2011 - Sea World!

On our last day in San Antonio, we headed to Sea World! First up, we hit the Seal show!

Despite the extreme heat and the blaring sun, they were enthralled! Meredith loved it when the walrus did sit-ups and Jillian kept talking about the Seals dancing and "shake booty" - complete with a re-enactment!

The kid's area is newly Sesame Street-themed and super cute! Meredith wanted to pose with every character, and Jillian was just excited to wave!

The carousel horses were even muppety looking
Jillian was thrilled to finally find a "carouself" - she was pretty disappointed that neither the outlet mall or the Riverwalk mall had one. The purple horse made up for that!

Meredith and Rosita

Next up - Shamu!! They both loved the show - their eyes were glued on the whales. Jillian will now imitate a whale noise....and since it was a theme, shows you how they shake their "booties" too!

I think Jillian liked watching the whales!
Meredith showed her approval through her heart-shaped hands!
This is a crazy picture that I took on my phone to send to Daddy because the girls wanted to stand in front of the picture of his plane in the Penguin exhibit.

After lunch, we saw a 4D Sesame Street show and then headed to back to the kids area to play in their sprinkler park.

Meeting Burt and Ernie!

Before ending the day at the park, we checked out their water park too - we played in the waves, the river, and the kids play pool. Not surprisingly, Jillian conked out on the way to get snacks!

Sleepy Beans worn out by the fun day!

Jillian also missed feeding the dolphins, but Meredith had a blast!

Such a great trip for all of us - the kids just loved getting to play together. We are so blessed that they get to spend so much time with their cousin and that they truly enjoy being together. Not only that, we are so blessed that Gigi took so much time and effort to plan a fun get away for all of us!
