Saturday night, Shanna and I took the "big girls", Alyssa and Braelyn, to do a horse drawn carriage ride. It was really fun and Braelyn was so relaxed (and exhausted) that she fell asleep! 
Sunday, we got up and got everyone ready to go to SeaWorld! The kids were SO excited! Lauryn and Alyssa
Braelyn and Brylee
It was REALLY hot.. here is Happy getting cooled down by Daddy
Lauryn in the buggie
Braelyn and Alyssa were big enough to do the Shamu Express! It was funny to see them get so excited! Braelyn loved it but was scared too!

I was telling her to lift her hands up :)
Look at her face! She was scared! LOL
Thankfully, there are spots in the kids area to cool down! This was a life saver when the kids were getting fussy because they were so hot! I will admit I ran through all this water fully clothed! It felt so good.. I was burning! HA! 
Happy really loved this wheel.. she played on it almost the whole time!

My kids playing in the water 
Happy always pretend to be a dog! It's so funny.. she crawls around saying "woof, woof" and telling me "dog". She is the cutest puppy ever ;)
Next we headed over to the penguin exhibit.. really cool! You stand on a moving belt (like at an airport) and go through the exhibit. The penguins have a climate controlled home.. it was even snowing in there! So neat.. we could see them swimming under water and the kids loved it!

So hot that we bought an umbrella for Happy's stroller and then she was good to go :)
I was most looking forward to the Shamu show and it was well worth it. There was tons of people packing in there. It was amazing to see the tricks they can teach these whales to do and how the trainers can climb all over them! I thought it was such a cool bond they make with these animals.. and what trust!! 
Braelyn loved it as much as Mommy! :)
Do you see the trainer laying on the whale's belly?! 
AMAZING!!
Happy loved it! You know it is good if it caught her attention because she is such a busy body!! :)
Trainers surfing on the whales
After the Shamu show, everyone was starving and ready to eat. Happy fell asleep on Daddy while I was getting food. He thought this was funny.. :)

Happy fell asleep on Daddy while I was getting food. He thought this was funny.. :) Our last stop at SeaWorld was to the water park in the park.. Sea World is incredibly huge and I probably walked more in one day that I ever have but it really is fun! The kids got to swim and cool down before we headed home! Sorry, no pictures, from the water park :(
It was such a fun trip! I can't begin to tell you how crazy it is with four kids ages 7,3,2 and 1 but it was so worth it! The little ones had more than a few breakdowns from exhaustion (lol) but we survived and had a great time! I was amazed by the amount of people everywhere.. the riverwalk was packed and SeaWorld was super packed! Crazy! Guess I have been living in my Abilene "bubble" too long! :)
