Sea World!

Last weekend, we took a quick trip to San Antonio for Sea World! (And Buc-ee's on the way!)

First thing...Shamu! Waiting for the show...apparently we need to work on her hat wearing skills...
Jumping!

This is how she sat the whole time...she was in awe!
Quick stop for a hug! She is such a sweet big sister!
On to the games! Luckily we won a very cute crab at one of the games...
Penguins!
Waiting on the sea lion show!
She and Dad in their shades...
The sea lion show was so cute! We all really enjoyed it :)

Up next, the "big roller coaster"...Amy was just barely tall enough to ride it and she was so excited :) Brett while he was waiting...
Finally our turn!
That is us in the back...you can barely see her! She was pretty brave, even had her hands up for awhile...but then, "it went really fast, so I held on to Mommy"...was it scary? "no, just fast"


Brett was scared of the penguin!
Sunday we headed out to the Alamo and the riverwalk! Amy wanted a picture by herself...
Brett and Mommy's turn...
Amy and Daddy, she still wouldn't stand by him...she is a mess...
Amy saw a man climb up on the well to get his picture made...she then copied...would not let us help her...cracked us both up!
And of course, no one could be in her picture!
Lunch on the river! Brett couldn't look because he was busy talking with the ducks! It was fun to be there the day they were dying the river green...it started blue and by the time we left, it was nice and green!
Finally got him to look away from the ducks :)
Amy wanted their picture made here with the "pretty rocks" and she insisted that she hold Brett!

Rodeo!!!

Monday night we headed down to the rodeo! We just went to the livestock show and the kids loved it!!! Grams and Mimi went with us too!

Riding the train! Brett was amazed with all the cowboy hats!
Ready to see the animals!

They had a little Ag-venture part...Amy loved it! You planted vegetables and fed animals...very cute! Planting her carrot!
Resting!
Checking out his egg!
Amy with both their baskets!
On to the petting zoo! Amy loved it! Brett was a little scared...
Amy rode the pony ride! She was a little scared at first and I had to hold her hand...
Then she started loving it!

Even got a wave in!
Brett checking out a calf!
Finally a smile for the camera!
Amy picked out yellow boots, so we had to make her a rodeo dress that would match...she picked all the fabric herself...Mimi sewed it for us...thanks Mimi!
Brett practicing walking!
Being bull fighters :)
And a little hug :)
Family shot!
Grams and Mimi's turn!
Such a fun time! Maybe next year we will take them in to a concert...just not sure they are up for that :)

I got this picture this morning from Mimi...Titled "Busy"...which from the looks of it they are :) Just a busy day in your footie pajamas at Mimi's! And yes, it is 70 degrees today...but Amy loves to wear the footies just like "Bett"
This week, we also went to kids' night at Chik-Fil-A...They had Rodeo night, so the kids wore their rodeo clothes and watched the "Snake Eyed Willie" show! They loved it! They even got their picture made with Willie! It is even posted at Chik now, so they are pretty famous :) Luckily, I can see it a lot since I go all the time!!!
