Sea World

For Easter weekend we decided to head out to Sea World. We haven't been for a while and we had a free night at a hotel and needed a fun short vacation since we have never really taken a family vacation besides to visit family. So this was our chance. We headed out to Austin and stayed with my parents Thursday night so we would be closer for Friday morning. We had so much fun! Abby was able to go on more rides and Hannah even got to go on Journey to the Atlantis too, and they loved it. I can't wait til they are big enough to do all of them, I love roller coasters. And we did the parent swap and skipped all the lines, possibly a little unfairly at times, but it was so nice not to have to wait in line. And Weston and Audrey didn't seem to mind at all that they weren't big enough so that helped too. Audrey was a little hard at times trying to feed her and keep her comfortable but she did pretty well for the most part. The kids loved it and had so much fun! We stayed the night at a resort that had a really cool pool so of course getting back from Sea World and eating dinner after 8 they still wanted to go swimming and have s'mores. And then the next morning we had to make sure and take an hour long swim at the hotel before heading back to Sea World for more fun. I'm pretty sure we completely exhausted our kids, but it was totally worth it!

 Most of these pictures are backwards, not that it matters though, so I'm not willing to fix it.

 Since Weston didn't get to go on any of the big rides, he enjoyed these little ones with the girls.

Hanging out at the play area

 the 2nd day we rented  double stroller and it was so worth it to have all 4 in strollers. We went so fast and no one fought about who got to ride in the stroller, it was awesome and we would do it again. We walked so much in 2 days that it was so worth it to be able to go fast and not worry about losing or waiting for the 2 that were walking
