Sea World and San Antonio!

We left last Thursday during nap time and drove to San Antonio.  The boys were so excited to go to Sea World, and we stayed at the JW Marriott.  It was the perfect hotel for us!  We were at the kids pool within 30 minutes of getting there.

Ready to play!







Of course Bennett wanted to go down the slides with Trent! 


Happy boy!


And our special treat for the night was having Uncle Justin came have dinner with us by the pool!

And then they played and played in the sand!

 Friday morning we were up bright and early and ready for a fun day!
Mimi and Grampy met us at our hotel, and we headed to Sea World.  We got there right when they opened and stayed until 3.  We saw some fun shows, ate a good lunch, the boys rode some rides, and we had a blast!


Ready for the Sea Lion show!








Feeding the fish and alligators!

But of course Bennett wanted to feed the quack quacks!

 Riding the ferris wheel!


And Elmo!!  Bennett was in Heaven!

Watching the dolphin and beluga whale show





And then the pet show.  Bennett almost fell asleep but he fought through it!




We had an ice cream treat on our way out! 
The boys napped the 45 minutes in the car on the way back to the hotel, and then they were ready for more swimming!

 They went down this slide at least 100 times.

We had dinner again by the pool and played at the beach before calling it a night.

Silly Bennett playing before bed.

My cute breakfast dates at the Starbucks in our hotel on Saturday morning

And then more play time at the beach!

My Saturday morning view!  Mimi playing with the boys while I enjoyed my coffee and a comfy lounge chair!

Of course Bennett wanted to drink my coffee with me!

We checked out, ate lunch at The Alamo Cafe, and then hit the road home.


You know it's been a good trip when this is what both boys looked like within 5 minutes of leaving!

Nana Comes to Visit!

Nana came to see us this week!  Trent had to go out of town for work so my mom so graciously offered to come help me out for a few days and keep me company!  

I had a meeting at Graham's school Monday night and I came home to this!  Graham and Nana playing t-ball in the backyard!

And then it was time to decorate cupcakes!  I think more icing was eaten out of the jars than was actually put on the cupcakes!

Graham went to school on Tuesday morning while Bennett, Nana, and me ran a few errands and then went to the mall.  After doing some shopping we had lunch and rode the carousel!




Mr. I only napped for an hour!  Happy as can be!  And Graham didn't nap either!

So we went to Toys R Us to buy a few things for Cousin Camp this summer, and then it was time for haircuts.



We had dinner at Jason's!


Ice cream is the best part!

We came home and G and Nana played dominoes.  Graham is really good at it, and they had so much fun!


This morning was just school for G, laundry, a little shopping, and lunch at Southwell's before Nana had to head back to Waco.

Sweet Bennett was worn out by all of our shopping!

Thanks so much for coming to see us Nana!  We always have so much fun!
