Road Trip!

Last weekend we hit the road and enjoyed San Antonio. We left early Friday morning and explored the San Antonio Zoo before it got hot. I must say it blows the Houston Zoo out of the water! It was a beautiful day and all of the animals were out to play. I'm not sure if Em'ry enjoyed the chimpanzees swinging from their ropes or the butterfly exhibit more. One thing is for sure, Greg and I enjoyed the day as much or more than Em'ry. I'm kicking myself that I forgot the camera in the car and relied on Greg's camera phone only to find the pictures were no where to be found the next day :(

Greg's parents joined us that afternoon and Em'ry couldn't wait to get them in the hotel pool. She spent the majority of the afternoon entertaining them in the pool before we decided to get cleaned up for dinner.

One our favorite places to take Em'ry to eat is Rainforest Cafe. It is so neat to see her reaction to the animals as she grows. She was a little nervous but did great and loved showing her Mimi and Grandad around the restaurant.

The face says it all! The pandas behind could come to life at any minute and she was preparing herself lol...

After dinner, we took the Riverboat Ride around the River Walk and then it was off to bed to rest up for a big day at SeaWorld.

We were up bright and early (9:00am) for SeaWorld. Hey, don't judge, its SUMMER! By this point, Matt and Savreet had joined us. Em'ry was super excited about the day when she woke up but grew impatient after driving, waiting, and waiting some more. To make up for it we headed straight to the kids Splash Pad!

Sesame Street Splash Pad!

We watched shows, rode rides, enjoyed the water park, ate amazing food, and visited the Splash Pad a few times.

Ice Cream!

I am so proud of Em'ry. She actually held the fish in her hand and fed the dolphins!

Putt Putt!

And, after a late night we hit the hay so that we could wake up and do it all again on Sunday!

By Sunday evening, we were all worn out but we had a blast!
