Sea World and more San Antonio fun

We took a little vacation to San Antonio to visit some good friends and have a little fun with our kiddos. We left Thursday am and drove all day, spent Friday at Sea World, Saturday at the Alamo/Riverwalk, went to church with our friends on Sunday and headed all the way back home. Pretty crazy--let's just say we were extremely grateful for our van's DVD player and R*dbox!

Here are our little cutie patooties at the entrance to Sea World. What a cool place! It was hard for me that we didn't have time to see everything, but we had a fabulous time.



Levi of course loved the poison dart frogs--aren't they amazing?
Can't remember the name of this--very strange! Levi and I were wondering if God was laughing when He created them!

Can you tell that this is Levi's dream for how to spend a day? Wouldn't want to meet THIS guy in a dark alley! He does NOT look friendly!
This walrus was doing sit-ups! I loved this show!

It was pretty hot, so we decided to cool off before another show at the splash park. The kids were almost lethargic going in, but a little cold water sure woke them up!

Dolphin and beluga show--can't believe how high they can jump!
Here's Shamu--are they all named that? HUGE!

Jas wasn't quite tall enough for the water ride the older kids wanted to ride on, so I stayed back with him and waited on the rest of them. Isn't he the cutest thing ever? I get such a kick out of his ornery grin!



At the Alamo with Neil and Crystal
A delicious Mexican meal on the Riverwalk. The kids loved the ducks floating by--the grown ups loved the conversation and the yummy salsa! Overall a fun trip--the kids were a little crazy from so much packed into a few days, but hopefully we'll only remember the good times!

Introducing...


...our new puppy--the most adorable Morkie! We're still not united on a name for him, but the entire family is in love. We surprised the kids with him this afternoon--they were in complete shock. Names that we're considering: Mr. Weatherbee ("the Bee"), Archie, Rockie, Jack, Max, Biscuit, Oscar, Jake (Jacob Pullen), Ulla (Pomele) ... Hoping to nail his name down tomorrow. He's definitely getting socialized--he had 10-15 kiddos playing with him today at a picnic, saw 4 dogs, and spent lots of hours getting passed around between my 3 kids and the neighbors. He's been a trooper--even got his first bath today. We're hoping for a great night tonight and can't wait to wake up and play with him tomorrow!
