Sea World, San Antonio

On our way down to New Orleans for Thanksgiving we stopped in San Antonio and took the kids to Sea World, the were so excited! Even better they had just decorated the park for Christmas.

since it's off season the park wasn't going to open til' noon so we got the early pass that let us in at 10 and we got to feed the dolphins and other animals without a ton of people around.

after this we went and saw penguins and sea lions.

After a few rides and lunch it was time for the "shamu" show

where we got front row seats

and we got soaked! it seriously felt like drowning after getting nailed 3 times one right after the other, the girls and Preston were not happy!

another ride

We went and saw the beluga whale/dolphin show which was amazing! it had acrobats and high divers as well, I didn't get much photos of that since it was amazing just to watch it!

we went through this holiday forest where the animals were dressed up for Christmas.

And then to finish off the day we went to the sea lion show, and souvenir shopping.

Even though it rained/misted throughout the day it was a great experience (and I have lots of photos just didn't share too many here). The kids loved it and want to go again.
