Sea World 2010
We loved how it was all decorated for Christmas. All the shows were put to Christmas music. We walked around listening to and occasionally singing Christmas music.
Shamu was a big hit. Even as an adult I find it fascinating.
We watched Polar Express in 4D. Nothing to do with Sea World, but it was fun.
Uncle Max and the sea lions were among the favorites.
Halle and Papa. We had "buddy" on Halle, but she preferred to be carried.
The gang with Penny the Penguin
Feeding the Dolphins, another highlight for Isaac and Caite. The little kids didn't want to get that close.
The Sharks! One of Hayden's favorites
Day 2: Thanksgiving DayThe Alamo
Riverwalk
RiverwalkAwesome place to walk around and see. We took a guided boat ride on the river and had a little history lesson. Very neat place! Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures, I was too busy keeping Halle from going overboard.
We had Thanksgiving Dinner at Marie Calendars...our first Thanksgiving at a restaurant. It tasted great and was nice not to have to cook and clean up. Once again no pictures.
Day 3: San Jose Mission (or something of the kind)
While we weren't looking Isaac scaled the wall and was sitting on the second story. He got in trouble. but was too proud of himself to care.
The Tower of the Americas. Very similar to the Space Needle in Seattle. The kids thought it was awesome being up so high. You could see everything...Texas is pretty flat.
Ice cream break
Dinner on the Riverwalk at Zuni Grill. Waiting for the big Light Parade on the River. Very Cool. If you ever get a chance to do this, DO IT! You have to make reservations for a restaurant on the river. It's kind of pricey, but way worth it.

Memories were made!

I think I will need to go there sometime! Looks way fun and not as crowded as the one in CA! I also love the not have to cook or clean up dinner!! You look great too!
You got some great shots of Shamuu. What a fun trip. Glad you had were able to go.
Looks like fun! When we lived in Houston we went to San Antonio and did the Riverwalk and Alamo. We have some very similar pictures. Great way to spend Thanksgiving!
I loved going to the Riverwalk. Such a beautiful place. I love the part about Isaac on the second story! So funny! I want to do T-giving at a restaurant someday...I think it sounds heavenly!
