San Antonio VACATION

We spent the long holiday weekend in San Antonio

The first night we went to the River Walk


and took a boat ride through the canels


We also spent 3 days at Sea World


We fed seals


Miles really liked watching them
and would try to imitate their sounds

We also saw otters (our favorite)

They were also fun to watch


We wanted to take them home for the pool


Alligators... although they didn't do much


This is the entrance, leaving the first night


A picnic in the shade, although it was still very hot


Miles climbed his first tree
(also the 10,000 picture taken with our camera, gotta love digital)


We also went to the water park for a whole day


I got to ride on the roller coaster
with no waiting in line


We also got to feed and pet dolphins


We went to visit them each day we were there


Nicole also wanted to take them home to the pool


Smiling for the camera


Watching the sea lion show we went to


The sea lions act in the show


although they kept messing up which was also funny


We really had a wonderful time
and the pictures don't even do it justice


We also got to see Shamu


Pretty amazing what they can get a 3-ton animal to do


We're already excited to go back


There was also a new show with diving, dolphins, birds and more


The dolphins could jump amazingly high


and then the divers would use these swings to
shoot them into the air


I wanted to try it


I call this one "levitating dolphin"


A truly amazing show

And then back in Galveston we went out for supper
for mama's birthday and Miles posed so well
Happy 28th Birthday, Nicole! we love you

We were in San Antonia years ago but never saw the River Wlk. What a beautiful area. Thanks.
