Sea World

Well, I did it. And I am pretty darn proud of myself. I took both kids, by myself, to Sea World, on the weekend. And survived. Ya pretty much deserved an award, or at least a beer. The weather was amazing today. High 80s, sunny and little to no wind. We were dying to do something outside, and we're hoping and praying it got hot enough to go to Sea World. I LOVE Sea World San Antonio. Not only does it have all the attractions of Sea World San Diego, it has a water park. And in summer, it's going to be our home away from home. We hit up the little gator area of Sea World, and the kids loved it! Well CC loved, it and Carter went along for the ride.

I love mushroom fountains. They will forever remind me of Kansas. We had this same water fountain, on a smaller scale, and it was my favorite part of our pool. When I saw this I got a little teary eyed... well not really. But if I were a crier, I might have shed some over this.

And then there was Carter, my big strong boy. The same boy who loves to hit and kick his sister. The same boy that will hit anything with a baseball bat, including your leg, and think it's hilarious. The same boy who was terrified of the water. Didn't want to go near it....
That was the closest he got to the water. He was a little sad that CC was so big playing in the water. AND then he found stairs....

Ya, he loves stairs. Had anyone told me that CC, Princess CC, would be the courageous one of the kids I would have laughed out loud. I'm sure it won't last, but until then I am loving my little dare devil. She was jumping off water slides, sliding down backwards, splashing her face (yes, her face!!), and loving every minute of it. This is a huge step. Last summer she would have cried for an hour if you even thought about splashing her face with water. But now, she's all grown up! So mature! So not dramatic.... OH WAIT... she got a blister. And refused to walk. On the day that I'm by myself. AND the only day I have gone to an amusement park and forgot the double stroller. Note to self: never and I mean never, go to an amusement park without a double stroller. We live 5 minutes away. What was I thinking?

Sure they look cute here. But there was a ton of he's touching me, he's pulling my hair, his booty is leaving booty prints on my leg and I'm dying!! Yes, her exact words. Thank goodness. I, for a split second, thought we had out grown the drama queen stage. Good to know it's still there.

P.S. It makes me ridiculously sad that Carter is almost as big as CC here. What happened to my baby?
