Sea World. October 8,2011.

So this weekend me and Payton went with my best friend, Joanna and her adorable cousins to San Antonio.  Joanna's parents live there so we went to spend the weekend with them and go to Sea World.  Jonny had to work this weekend so he stayed in Arlington- he was greatly missed but we still had a wonderful time.  Friday, we packed up the car, picked up the boys, grabbed some food, and headed to SA. The car was FULL.  Three kids and Zoey (Joanna's dog) in the back plus all our luggage!  The ride went as smoothly as can be expected with an 11 month old, 4 year old, six year old, and a dog. The boys kept Pay Pay entertained and they were so sweet to her! One thing I did learn= three kids are A LOT to handle lol.

We arrived in SA pretty late so we got settled in and pretty much went right to sleep.  Saturday was a full day and lots of fun.  We woke up and got ready for our day at Sea World.  I know Payton won't remember anything about that day but I will and it was definitely worth it :)  She LOVED everything about Sea World.  The weather was amazing!  It was cloudy and cool with NO rain= perfect.  And we spent the perfect amount of time there- not too long!  We saw 3 shows, penguins, played on playgrounds, saw dolphins, did some tricker treating, visited counts un-haunted house, rode the carousel, and petted some sting rays!  Payton loved the shows- she danced and pointed at the animals the whole time.  I was afraid she was going to get bored and want to get down and walk everywhere but she sat on my lap and watched the whole thing!  I think she loved the Shamu show the most!  It was great.  She loved all the people dressed up in costumes for halloween at a distance.  She did not want to get close to any of them.  Tried to get a picture with the count and she held on to me for dear life!  It was such a great day.  The boys loved playing on the playgrounds and going through the tricker treating maze!  After Sea world, we went and ate some good mexican food!  Then, we headed home to watch the Rangers and Aggies play!  Payton went to bed right at 8:30 (she was exhausted) and the boys followed shortly after.  And since the Ranger game went so late we didn't get in bed till after midnight.  But it was worth it to see the Rangers take the first win!  And my Aggies won too :)  Great day in sports!

She did NOT like him

She like the flamingos ok- no crying!

Sunday, we slept in (Payton slept till 10!!!).  Poor girl was so worn out from Sea World.  She didn't nap at all that day so she made up for it at night.  It was heavenly for me!  We woke up got ready and ate some breakfast.  Joanna's dad was getting back from Argentina and so they surprised him at the airport.  He had no idea the boys and Joanna would be there to greet him when he landed.  They came home and we all had a big lunch together before heading home!  The ride back went by fast and the kids did great!  Payton started to get fussy the last hour of the ride.  She was so ready to be out of her car seat!  We finally made it home at a little after 8!  And man did we miss Jonny!!  It was so much fun but it is soo good to be home and be with my hubby! I missed him soo much!!!!!!  And Payton was so excited to see him!!  And that was our weekend- I can't believe it's already over???  Bring on the week :)
