San Antonio Trip Pictures

I finally got all the pictures together from our family trip to San Antonio, so I of course had to share them! Reagan had the best time... seriously, probably the best 4 days of her life. We pushed her to the limit... it was hot, she didn't have a real nap schedule, we didn't eat until almost 9 at night, bed after 10, and STILL she was an angel and had a wonderful time. Made life much easier on Mommy! Anyways, here are the overdue pics. Beware, this is long. (And some of the pictures have this weird white thing around them for some reason.)

First thing we did, of course, was go see Shamu. The kids were kinda in awe. The show is really dramatic, all slow flowy music and stuff, so their mouths were wide open the whole time. (As is Adam's in this picture!)

All Reagan wanted to do during this show was make friends with the kids sitting behind us! Her head is soaking wet from sweat, and we had been there all of 15 minutes!
Here is some of the show in case you've never been! :)
Adley, mid-clap, wondering why her picture is being taken.
My parents took the big kids on a special Grandparent outing to Dinner With Shamu. It was so cool. Well, hot actually, but a really neat deal. They got a great meal, and were upclose and personal to the whales and the trainers.
Here is the view from their table!
Adley and Corbin checking out the whales. Actually, we learned they are not whales, but dolphins that KILL whales. That is where their name comes from. (applying a little Sea World knowledge...)

In the kiddie section of the park they have one of those fountains that squirts up randomly from different parts of the floor. We didn't have Reagan in her swimsuit at this point, but she DIDN'T CARE! She LOVED that thing; wouldn't let us take her away from it! And this was before she was walking, so one of us had to break our backs and walk around with her the whole time.
Great picture of Corbin!!
Reagan, soaking wet, now looking for the Pringles for a snack.
Cute pic of Grandmommy with the kids.

Bathtime back at the hotel with all the cousins!
The second day, our first adventure was to the dolphin pool.
Reagan was pretty calm at this point, enjoying the view while laying on my back.
Once we let her lay down to look by herself, she went nuts! If I would have let her, she would have gone headfirst into that water! She LOVED those dolphins and wanted them SO badly! It was too cute!
Here's Daddy feeding one really close so Corbin could touch it.
Flipper.

The cousins and Flipper.
Reagan holding on to Granddaddy.
All of us, minus David the photographer, with Flipper getting a snack.
Mom got all the kids "vacation presents," and of course it included matching swimsuits for the girls!

Stopped for a picnic before we hit the water park. I have no pictures of the water park since that was risky with the camera. But it was fun, crowded, but fun. (we of course go on a weekend when Sea World set all-time attendance records!)

After the kids took naps and us "big" kids rode rollercoasters all afternoon, we hit the dolphin show. It was a HUGE hit!
David was helping Reagan pay more attention to the show instead of her neighbors this time!
Here is the Beluga whale part of the show.
While Adam entertained Reagan, the kids were LOVIN' the show. That look on Adley's face wasn't staged!!!

Corbin loving it too!
Sweet smile. :)
That night we went back to Shamu's night show. But these pictures show one of Reagan's favorite parts of the trip....
... lovin' on Corbin. She was quite attached to him this trip! Too sweet!
Granddaddy and Grandmommy of course hit a gift shop, and all the kids came home with Shamus. Corbin wanted a baby one.

Adley is showing her Shamu to Shamu.
And here is Reagan with hers, and Aunt Missy of course. She was quite an Aunt Missy fan this trip too, which seemed to suit Missy just fine. :) The only thing better than one Shamu....
... is 2 Shamus. Adley was sweet to share. Seriously, Reagan loves this thing. Even today, she took it with us to run errands. She LOVES it!
Personally, a highlight of MY trip was Cowboys Training Camp!! We didn't get to see a whole lot, but it helped tide me over until the season starts!!
Reagan getting some football lessons from Granddaddy. She didn't pay too much attention though because there were too many people around to make friends with. She is so my social butterfly!

Our last ride at Sea World were the teacup things at the kiddie park. I rode with Adley....
... and Adam with Corbin. It was SO fun! I couldn't quite spin as fast as Adam could, but Adley couldn't tell. :) She thought I was great!
Our last breakfast together, we celebrated Adley's birthday little early since we all won't be together on Sept. 2nd. Sweet snaggletooth picture!

Guess how old she's turning???!!!

Mom got her new bedding for a big 6 year old room. She wanted a change in her room, and she thought these were perfect!
"Best Friends" picture. I love that girl so much!
Her new backpack for school. When did she get so big?!?!
We had such a great time. If you've never been to Sea World, it is fantastic!! Just don't go on the last "summer" weekend! Thanks again, Mom and Dad, for a great mini-vacation!!!
