sea world, san antonio- june 26-29

then thursday and friday i was off work (yippee) to go to san antonio with the family- we rented a house for the long weekend - found it on www.vrbo.com- it was nice to have a 2 story, 4 bedroom house to stay in- instead of a cramped hotel room- it was only a few exits from sea world (our main destination- thanks to justin, who saw a sea world commercial- and asked if we could go- and nana casually said yes- not realizing he was totally dead set on it- so the trip was planned)... well there were these silky satin sheets on the bed in the main bedroom- and justin was sharing a bed with pawpaw- and well, he fell (or slid) off the bed in the middle of the night- i couldnt help but laugh but he was crying- it was just so funny to think about- lol- i did have to confess to him the next day that i did laugh about it- once i found out he wasnt hurt.

friday, we headed to sea world- after about $500 on tickets (8 adult, 4 kids) we were in - luckily we had good weather- jeremy was sick though- a cold and he was miserable- :( first thing we did was feed the dolphins- that was fun- the kids really liked touching them and feeding them- well all but jacob, who is scared of everything these days! after that, we watched some kung fu guy- which jacob was also leary of- then headed over to the shows- first we saw the shamu show- it was neat- seems like it would be a really fun job to train those animals- but not for me! we then headed to lunch - which was another small fortune- and then to buy jeremy some swim shorts, because he decided to forget his- and then, to buy brittany some shorts to go over her swimsuit- bc she HAD to have them and forgot hers- and we then watched the sea lion show- which was super cute- and the boys headed home for a nap with pawpaw- the rest of us stayed and did some water stuff- until the boys got back- at that point- everyone was ready to leave- but justin was so excited to do the water part, i wanted to stay with him- and hoped jeremy would too, which he did- but i still havent heard the end of it!

when the boys came back from naps- they forgot to put the swim diaper on jacob- so he had been swimming in a regular diaper- fine, but so we took it off when we were done and woahhhhhhhh poop in it- so we wrap him with a towel to go change him and the people next to us tap her to let her know he has poop on his butt- yes, the towel was not covering it! ewwwwwwwww- so we take him to change him- and realize that the wipes are not in the diaper bag!!!! they must have fallen out in the car- so i was then on a mad mission to find wipes from random passer bys - and what do you know, i had to get wipes from THREE people, bc apparently everyone was low on wipes, and each person would hand me 1-2 and we needed WAY more than that for this mess! it was quite humorous once it was clean and over with!

saturday, we headed to aunt laquitas house for some bbq and to see grandmama- and celebrate her 92nd birthday- we had a good time- and justin was being overly photo happy- so i got some good shots of him with grandmama-

when we left there, some of us (the girls and justin) headed to the riverwalk... we first had to stop and buy brittany some MORE shorts, because this time she wore jeans and claimed we didnt tell her we were going to the riverwalk after grandmama's and it was too hot for jeans but she really wanted to go- hmm, maybe she is onto something- forget clothing items- and get new ones everywhere you go?!! nana also bought justin some power ranger hands- i bought the girls some more clothes, too- sucker!

we rode the boat and justin was exhausted and FELL ASLEEP on it- to most that is not that unusual- but for him it is VERY rare and almost unheard of- he never ever sleeps anywhere but bed- recently like the past few months, he has started sleeping in the car- but before that, NEVEr- i couldnt believe he fell asleep AND he dindt wake up when it was over- usually he is up- if you transfer him from car to house, etc- he was like dead weight and i was able to carry around my BIG baby for a little while in the mall since he stayed asleep.. sea world the day before must have really worn him out!

sunday, we headed home- and unpacked, did laundry-all that fun stuff.
