san antonio - ready or not, here we come!!!

shortly after returning home from port aransas (a few days), i received a call from my cousin. her and her family were taking a road trip to sea world in san antonio. they invited us to go along, but richard had to work. then richard said to me, "why don't you go sweetheart? you and nathan would have fun." i just assumed that since we couldn't all go, none would go. leave it to him to think outside of the box! so in about 2 hours nathan and i were all packed up and ready to get on the road. they have a wonderful program there where all active duty military get in FREE. on top of that, each military member is allowed to get 5 PEOPLE in w/ them for FREE! score! sea world for free. we had a lot of fun. here are some pictures.
it started out as a chilly day. here are nathan and kaleb sharing a stroller ride:

i have never seen a shark so close (and BIG) before! (i also got pictures of the jelly fish and sting rays, but they weren't as striking as this one.)

shamu show:


nathan and i watching the shamu show - he was NOT taking his eyes off of that whale! (not bad for a self-portrait)


nathan having fun with his new toy from chrisi (it sounds like a hiccup when you shake it like a hammer)


here is the rest of the group, crazy enough to go on a water ride in 60 degree weather! (mid 60s, but still!)

the next day we went to the san antonio zoo. that was a lot of fun also!

i love a good road trip w/ family!!!
