4th of July!!!





































What a great lil weekend we had in San Antonio!!! The Zoo, The Alamo, River walk, and Sea World. I had so much fun with our kids, it was definitely a trip to remember. I am shocked that our whole trip went exactly as planned, perfection. I enjoyed every moment of this trip!!!
The Zoo was hot!!! But if you plan it right you go early as soon as it opens and when it starts to heat up you go in door and look at the exhibits like the aquarium, reptiles, birds, or butterflies. Then we braved the heat and saw the elephants, zebras, monkey's, lions, and bears etc. And I learned that Allison has an eagle eye! She could spot animals no one could see or find!!! Also I learned my kids can read and navigate maps! Both of them had serious options on what they wanted to see. The highlight of the Zoo trip for Cooper was the Train ride! It was amazing, I thought it was gonna be some lame short ride but I was blown away with all the information and the trails it took us on!!!
We got to the Alamo a little late so we didn't get to site see, but we walked around. The River walk was amazing it was around dinner time when we went so the weather was perfect and it wasn't to crowded. Although bringing the stroller was difficult but we managed! Richard and I have this tradition we started. We went to San Antonio for our honeymoon and took a picture at the entrance to the river walk. And every time we go back we make sure to take a picture in the same spot. Last time we went was in 07 and we took a picture with 2 yr old Allison! We were determined to find someone to take our picture this time with Cooper!
Sea World was the reason we went to San Antonio. We really wanted to do something fun for the 4th of July. Normally we are always in CA during the 4th of July. It was unreal how much fun we had there. Allison absolutely loves to swim. And we did swim for 4 hours, on two separate occasions. We saw many types a fish to name a few: dolphin, sea lions, and penguins. Richard and Allison rode several rides together, unfortunately Cooper wasn't tall enough to ride those rides so we had a blast in Sesame Street Town and we some how managed to make it right in time to see the Elmo show live. I have never seen my little guy so excited! We did so much there its hard to document it all. We ended our 4th of July at the Shamu show, and it was amazing, to bad Cooper slept through it all.
