Summer Vacation - 2013

So we finally decided where to go with our family budget and it was decided to go to SeaWorld since the girls have been fighting for the only Shamu in the house and we thought this would be a great opportunity to buy an additional Shamu to end the fighting.

Things didn't start out well with Sofia throwing a fit but that was fix by my hand hittting her bottom then all was well!

 I did the impossible and asked strangers throughout our vacation to help us take a family picture. God willing, when we are able to go back again, we'll see how much our daughters have grown! And to kill time before the shows started we or they hopped on some rides!

                                                       Our first show and it was HOT!

                                        There is always something new to see! Like this guy! 

                                                  Finally, she was happy and goofy!               

                            It was so HOT, Sofia enjoyed getting wet whenever she had the chance to!

 Waiting for Shamu to show up and the only one who was no longer interested was Raquel, who did not enjoyed getting wet.

                                                 At another ride where we had a blast!

                                             Sofia showing me how high she can jump!

Finally, they got what they came to SeaWorld for. More Shamu toys!

Chicken Nuggets and French Fries for three and a half days. The most junk food they have EVER eaten!

Another family picture opportunity! This was taken at the last Shamu show.  

Raquel had the least fun at the shows. She did not enjoyed getting wet, Sofia looked forward to it. I hope Raquel grows out of it or it will be a long suffering life stuck with us.

This last time she told me: "Mom, I was brave, I didn't cry." 

Another family pic!

Time to go! It was a blast! 

The rest of our vacation was spent exploring San Antonio!

Sofia loves Dinasours, Raquel pretends she loves them.

Sofia found her princess dress and asked me to take her a picture.

Raquel's dream dress. I do like her pick.

At the Alamo where I had a paranormal experience. I couldn't sleep that night.  

At the Riverwalk Boat ride

Raquel was excited!

Sofia felt asleep. It was day three without her afternoon nap.

AND another family pic!

Our waitress was working hard for her money! 

and yet another family pic!
