San Antonio and Sea World with the Olsen's

I am SO behind on my blogging so I am trying to get caught up with all our events that have taken place in the last 2 months! This trip is just the beginning of the fun we have had to start off our summer!
The last week in April, our good friends the Olsen's flew in from Utah to spend almost a week with us! We took them to San Antonio to stay at the Wild Oak Ranch Resort and spent a couple days at Sea World! We actually left Camden to spend the weekend with his Meme, my mom, and took Kyler with us! Our friends have a little boy, Trey, who is Kyler's age and they had the best time together hanging out with the mommy's and daddy's!
Here is the start of our road trip to San Antonio!

That evening, we took our friends down to the Riverwalk for some mexican dinner on the river and the boat tour around the area! These ducks were right next to our dinner table area and the boys were fascinated!



Our first day at Sea World! We did Sea World in 2 days because there is just so much to see and we didn't want to be rushed!
First stop, splash park!

Our first show, Azul, was amazing! The shows are worth every penny to go to Sea World! This guy is hugging a Beluga Whale.


This was one of 2 rides that younger kids can ride, the Shamu Express:) And Kyler doesn't miss a roller coaster opportunity! He loved it!
The Penguin Tour! Such cute animals!
Shamu's Show! Really amazing shows! Shamu is swimming next to her baby that had just been born a couple months before we came and her baby is in training to be the next Shamu!


We took the boys down to make S'mores at the resort that night after pizza dinner!
Day 2 at Sea World! Our first stop this day was at the Dolphin Encounter Aquarium. So fun! This huge tank had about a dozen dolphins swimming around and they open up for a certain time to get to feed the dolphins. The boys were amazed at how close they got to see these animals.

The Aquarium!

Here we are getting to feed the dolphins and pet them!


This was the last show we went to that day! The Sea Lions Performance! These animals really can act and they were making us laugh the whole time! Super cute show!

That night we took the boys down to the pool to play for our last night and S'mores later on! This little sand caterpillar was crawling around that evening while we were down there! It was Weird!!
All the boys loved doing was making mud in the sand!
Tubing with the dads on the lazy river!


The next morning we packed up everything and packed the car for check out, but spent all afternoon at the pools and lazy river! We wanted to get one last day of play in before we headed back to Houston! I was missing Camden too and couldn't wait to get home to pick him up from my parents!!:)


The boys trying to shoot their daddy's with water in the pool!

So sad to leave, but we love this place and will be back again!
We managed to get all the boys in the tub for a good bath after a great weekend of lots of sand and fun and a long drive home! We were so sad to see our friends leave:( But, already working on next years vacation so no worries! Kyler even had to call Trey on the phone the next day to say Hi to him! They were such Buds- if only we lived closer!
Thanks for coming all the way to Texas Olsen's! We love you guys!
