This morning Alan and I got up early and headed to meet up with our best friends for coffee. They are moving to San Antonio and happened to be here house hunting while we were here. I was so glad we could get together even for a moment. 

When we left we ran by the hotel and picked everyone up and then we were off to Sea World again!! 

We went straight to the Shamu show. It was already 100 degrees and we were ready to get soaked by an 8,000 lb. orca!! 

It was such an awesome show! The kids soaked up every minute! At the end of the show, the trainer called the kids to the aisle and I stood up to film them as they signaled to the Orca to splash them. It was awesome until I got nailed over and over again…I honestly thought I was over far enough…nope! Alan and Staci were, I most certainly wasn’t!

After this show we headed out for another show! The beluga whale show. This show was pretty funny because the belugas decided not to perform. They just swam around not doing anything the trainers wanted. They eventually had to move on and get the dolphins out. 🐬

Next stop was roller coasters! Ryanna had seen advertisements for the newest coaster, Wave Breaker and she was so excited to ride it. Daddy and her headed out! 

She had her hands up the entire ride! She was so brave. While she and Alan waited in line we took Jack and Bree to see the penguins and puffins! 

When they were done we ran on to a sea lion show and were able to feed them afterwards.  That was so much fun. 

They fought over who would get each fish and sometimes the smaller ones would sneak in at the last minute and snag the fish in the air! 

Now Ryanna wanted to try a bigger and faster coaster before we left so her and Daddy headed to the Steel Eel! While the littles headed to the Shamu Express! 

This one Alan said was much faster and higher…she held on the entire time. 😱

Bree and Jack rode their roller coaster six times, it was just perfect for them!

About this time a front was rolling in, and the weather cooled off to a brisk 99! So we decided to grab our suits and head to Aquatica again to cool off. 

We played in the sand and the lazy river then it was off to dinner. Such a fabulous day! 

We had quite a drive ahead of us home, we had extended our stay about 4 hours longer than we had planned because we were having so much fun. Eveyone promptly fell asleep in the car, while the mommies drove home. The Lord protected us when an oncoming driver came into our lane and He got us safely home after 1 in the morning. 😴
