For Thanksgiving weekend we headed off to San Antonio to see what that great city had to offer and check out Sea World. Friday morning I woke at 4am for a Brooklynn feeding, and then headed out to check out some Black Friday deals. I managed to score this mini-DVD player for Lexi.

She looks grateful right? Well at very least she was entertained.

We headed downtown to the River Walk, a very cool place. This is the perfect picture of our daughter, she just can't seem to stay still long enough to take a picture! I think she was flying like a monkey, or possibly dancing like a princess...

The Alamo (and me holding Lexi tight to get her picture taken).

Those two people on each end were at Sea World with their kid, but couldn't convince her to ride. The adults didn't back out though, and Lexi jumped on solo. Nothing scares her!

The Shamu roller coaster, way too much fun.

The Shamu show, Brooklynn preferred her Dad's smiling face

Da-dum, Shamu the whale. By far the best show and almost (emphasis on the almost) worth the $56.95 per person to get into Sea World.

Feeding the dolphins. This was a very cool thing to do as well. We bought some little fish and the dolphins just swim right up and take them out of your hands, amazing!
Matt's reckless behavior...
Now that's a tired Dad hanging out with a rather wakeful Brooklynn later that night. It was our first family excursion in a hotel, and I think it's safe to say I wont be voluntarily staying in a hotel with young kids for many more years. It was lots of fun though, and distracted me from missing all the fun going on in St. George!

WOW!! You sure did pack in the sites. I am surprised that you didn't take a boat ride on the river walk. I think that Gwen almost jumped overboard when we did it.
I love that Lexi was totally fearless in riding the rides. Gwen also really liked the shamu ride, a lot.
I am surprised that you don't look tired at all after a mildly crazy black Friday trip and then a wild weekend. You must be some kind of wonder woman.
Fun, fun, fun. Our weekend activity of searching for petroglyphs in the desert did not seem as fun as yours.
great pics. Family trips are trips, not vacations, mostly. Still, enjoy! Lexi will have memories of these kinds of vacations and treasure them.
