Sea World/Mother's Day

We took our FIRST ever family vacation in May to San Antonio.  We have been on other trips with family and friends but this was the first time it was just the four of us.  It was SO much fun! 

We stayed at the Hilton Hill Country Resort and Spa and it was AWESOME!!  The hotel was across the street from Sea World and definitely catered to families with small kids.  We spent the evenings at the hotel swimming, eating, making s'mores and watching the movies out by the pool.   Couldn't have asked for a better hotel experience!   

Excited about elevator ride!
Fun 1st day swim!  




Playing in the hot tub because the big pool water was pretty chilly!

Daddy makes the BEST s'mores!  Showing the kids how to do it!
Love my cute little family!!
Exited about the dolphins in the hotel...

Sea World!


We saw three different shoes and they were all very cool but Shamu was SO FUN! The Shamu show was by far the kids' favorite show even though he splashed us all and we were soaking wet when we left.  


 They had a special Max & Ruby show when we were there.  It is one of the kids' favorite TV shows so they really enjoyed seeing them at Sea World!
 The park has a great kid's area- Sesame Street Bay of Play, complete with Sesame Street characters! It has kid rides like a mini roller coaster that Morgan and I rode.  Graham was a wasn't quite tall enough for this it. 

The four of us did go on one ride together but we didn't get a picture.  

 They had fun on the HUGE play area...




We ended our visit at the splash park so they could cool off.  The water was pretty chilly so I took pictures and Bryan and the kids played a little.


Me and my mini me!  
Before heading out of the park we got them each a Sea World souvenir.  Graham picked out a pack of Shamu balls and Morgan wanted Zoe from Sesame Street.    
Graham was wiped out!
Graham snoozed for about 30 minutes and by the time we got back to the hotel they both were ready for more fun!  Running out to hotel pools to swim...
Best Buds!  Melts my heart...
The pool water was much warmer and they were swimming like little fish...


Another night...More S'mores!
Best Daddy and Husband EVER!!
Watching the movie with my babies...
Our last day in San Antonio, Mother's Day, was spent on the Riverwalk. Bryan and the kids are so good to me.  They always make me feel so loved and appreciated and Mother's Day was no different.
Being a mommy is the hardest, most rewarding, most entertaining, most awesome feelings in the world.  I am honored to be Morgan and Graham's mommy!!  Love them to pieces!

We took a river boat tour around the river.  Look at these cuties in their shades!

Then had a yummy lunch at Iron Catcus before heading back home!  This was a perfect family weekend!
We most definitely recommend San Antonio for a little family getaway, it is an easy and fun vacation!
