Without question one of our favorite things about Texas is Sea World. Every year we are excited to take advantage of our free military day at Sea World. It has been fun to share this amazing place with family each year. This year on the 4th of July we spent a fabulous day in Sea World San Antonio with Grandpa Simpson and my sister Sierra and her family.
This boy loves water so much! And Sea World is his favorite!
Everyone excited to begin our day!
We did learn something about uncle Roy through this adventure, he is a planner! Like a spread sheet, map things out, look at every scenario, optimize efficiency type planner. If you someday find an app or online scheduler to plan out your Sea World day it will be because Roy decided to design the program. Of course after his hours of planning, we left the spread sheet at home!
Fortunately it all worked out perfectly!

Dolphin Cove and Aquarium
Unfortunately you can no longer feed the dolphins but you can watch them swim around and if they swim close to you, you can touch them. I got to touch one but as much as Caleb tried he did not. He was bummed!
Beautiful sharks!
Pets Ahoy!
This year Sea World introduced a new show called Pets Ahoy! It featured dogs and cats rescued from animal shelters. It was an amazing show!

Silly dog act!
I can't believe the things they got the cats to do!
Let's face it, everything at Sea World is fantastic!
Getting to meet the stars of the show.
The Steel Eel
Last year Caleb was tall enough to ride the Steel Eel roller coaster, but it broke down right as we got to the front of the line. So this year, he decided to try again. He was super brave!! It is quite the roller coaster and you spend most of it floating in your seat. Grandpa almost lost his glasses when they floated right out of his pocket but luckily they floated right back to Brydon and he was able to catch them.

Caleb was a super star and road this coaster twice in a row!
He was a bit pale afterwards but I think he had a lot of fun!
Our brave boy!
Cool Vibrations!
Cool vibrations features the talents of water skiers.
So many fun tricks and a silly story line.
The new addition this year is this amazing contraption! Caleb really wants one of these!
Play Time!
Nothing like cooling off in the splash pad!
Getting wet is so much fun!!
Cannery Row Caper
Before the Sea Lion show there is a fun comedy show. Super cute!
The sea lions always do an amazing job and last year we got to meet this sea lion and go behind the scenes.
Detective Seymour and Clyde are hot on the trial!
Of course this talented walrus is a HUGE hit!
The Shamu Show: One Ocean
Caleb getting excited for the Shamu show to start! We of course sat in the mega splash zone!
I think this is one of my favorite Sea World pictures so far! What beautiful creatures!
And of course they did a good job of getting us completely soaked!!
The killer whales are the stars of Sea World!
The Rio Loco
The rides at Sea World are a lot of fun too, and this one is Caleb's favorite! He loves going down the river and trying to get wet under the waterfall (or getting his family wet).
Whew!!.....Only half way through our day!
