Pooped!

This is how we ended the day to Sea World-super pooped!

Aquarium

The aquarium was awesome and full of amazing fish. I don't know why she is so into sea animals, but she just can't seem to get enough of them. She will ask me all the time when we are going to sea the sharks, whales, dolphins, and fishies again!

She looks like such a big girl in this picture to me.

Could she get any closer?

Feeding the Dolphins

You can actually feed the dolphins now at Sea World! (this was not an attraction when I was a kid) You purchase little trays of fish and you go to one side of the dolphins tank and as long as you stay on your belly you can reach in as far as you can and drop the little fish right into the dolphins mouth. Needless to say Olivia loved this, and I am sure she would have stayed here all day if our pocket book would have allowed!

There is her little hand trying to get as close to the water as possible.

Precious!

Thank goodness daddy was holding her, or I am positive she would have jumped right in!

They are so gentle and their skin is the smoothest thing I have ever felt.

More Sea World

Shamu's show was awesome. These whales are such amazing creatures. We all loved watching!

The finale

Sea World

Last weekend we went to San Antonio and spent all day Monday at Sea World. Olivia loved it! It was really hot, but thank goodness for the water park. The shows are so much fun, it is a great place for kids of all ages.

The set for the Sea Lion show

Clyde the Sea Lion-they are so cute and smart!

Moody Gardens, Palm Beach

My sister and I took Olivia to Moody Gardens, Palm Beach and she had a blast. God Bless my sister for taking on this challenge with me. She does not have children, and although she loves her niece to death, it is pretty difficult to endure a hot day outside with kids everywhere and to top it off, day camps wew bringing kids in by the bus loads! She made it through, but I don't think she will be going back with me anytime soon! I love you mana!

Silly face

Precious tia mana!

Loving the splash pad!

Up close-I do not apprieciate this picture of me at all, but I think Olivia looks darling in it so I had to post it!

Summer Fun

Since returning from Miami, Olivia and I have had some serious bonding time. I have had the last 5 weeks off with her and have one more left (administrators do not get as much time off as teachers do) boo! I know I shouldn't complain:) anyway-we have done all sorts of stuff and here are some snap shots.

In my parent's backyard-we swim almost daily!

We went to visit my friends Sarah and Kevin in Austin and got to see their little baby Collin-he is so sweet!

Olivia is really good with him and she loves to help feed him, dress him, change him, you name it and she's right there next to him!

We also attended my dear friend Roberto's wedding. It was beautiful. I wish I had a better shot of them, but this is about as good as it gets. They were so happy!

Me, Robert, and Paty-we all worked together at Budewig a few years back. Robert and I carpooled to Clear Lake working on our Master's-we formed quite the friendship on those long trips!
