Spring Break Part 2

Rain loomed in the forecast most of the day at Sea World, but to our advantage it only rained for about an hour mid-day and the rain prediction kept the crowds at a minimum!  There was plenty of seating at the shows and the lines for the rides were practically non-existent (big difference from Six Flags!!!!!!)
They have a great kid's section of the park with a roller coaster and other rides and playgrounds.
We went to four different shows...2 with information about orcas, dolphins, and beluga whales and 2 more entertaining shows. 
Luke loved alligator alley although none of the alligators even moved. 
A beluga whale...
Dolphin show!
Penguins
Both girls were tall enough to ride the Steel Eel...this was Kai's first huge roller coaster (she's done a few wooden ones, but hasn't been tall enough for a big steel one)
It took her awhile to build up the courage, but she was super happy that she did!!!!
We were practically the only ones at the dolphin tank!

Our favorite show was with dolphins, beluga whales and acrobats who did high dives and crazy flips!!!

We left Sea World at closing time and headed to the famous Riverwalk in downtown San Antonio for dinner. Luke called this man Spiderman.






We all LOVED San Antonio and wished we had more time to explore!!!  We left the next morning and headed further south to the beach at Corpus Christi/Padre Island....to be continued!
