\"Sea<\/a>

Sea World<\/p><\/div>\n

Life was much easier before we visited Jellystone Park in Tyler, TX. \u00a0After Sean’s scare in their pool, he has been reluctant to go near water. \u00a0Add in Brian being able to go on roller coasters (unless you want to be covered in puke) and you learn you have limits as to where both kids would be happy. \u00a0I decided to take the kids to Sea World in San Antonio (June 22).<\/p>\n

One of the many reasons I chose it is the ability to get special tours. \u00a0We decided on a Behind the Scenes tour and a Penguin tour. \u00a0I was hoping to eat with Shamu but its books waaaaaaay in advance. \u00a0Just a hint for the behind the scenes tour, don’t go on 100+ degree days. \u00a0It was awful. \u00a0One of the many things we learned is that the employees have areas with even less shade than is available in the main park.<\/p>\n

\"Stingrays\"<\/a>

Stingrays<\/p><\/div>\n

We all got a little cranky from the heat. \u00a0I was the only one willing to feed a stingray although Brian kept trying to pet them. \u00a0Sean was too worried about falling into the water. \u00a0We moved onto touching a shark and by this time, I was the only one willing to touch it. \u00a0We all enjoyed seeing the dolphins and got to see the trainers do a bit of training (not part of the tour, just good timing).<\/p>\n

\"Penguins!\"<\/a>

Penguins!<\/p><\/div>\n

What we all really enjoyed was the Penguin tour. \u00a0It was a bit difficult to hear the tour guide on this\u00a0one. \u00a0Sean was drooping at this point and we were all tired of walking. \u00a0The highlight was being able to touch a penguin and get our picture with them.<\/p>\n

Next up, visiting a college friend and a movie.<\/p>\n
