SeaWorld

Mike had a 3-day weekend for Veterans Day so we met him in San Antonio to take advantage of the Waves of Honor deal for military families that SeaWorld offers. 
 
 
The seats on this ride were really narrow.  Mike was feeling the squeeze.

 
We were surprised by the non-SeaWorld characters there.  We saw Franklin and had to have a hug.  We love the Franklin book series!  We were so glad we waited until the off-season.  It was nice and cool and not at all crowded!
 

 
The kids loved this Shamu mini-roller coaster.  Pure joy on Jonas' face.
 
 
There were lots of Sesame Street characters around.  This picture with Burt and Ernie is too cute!

 
This picture cracks me up.  Jonas and Mike are on the front right.  Jonas is covering his "owie" since he wasn't allowed to wear his hat.  (The day before we went to SeaWorld, Jonas hit his head on the door frame in our hotel room and visited the emergency room for some glue and a steri-strip.  Being the good patient he is, when the doctor said to make sure it stayed dry he was concerned about getting splashed at SeaWorld.  The doctor's orders however, did not keep him from going on this water ride.)  Anyway, Mike and Jonas are funny but check out all the other folks.  My favorite is the man two rows behind Mike.  And what's up with those adolescent boys next to Mike?  Funny!

 
More fun on the Shamu coaster.

 
Ezra REALLY wanted his picture taken with this random duck.  However, I do love it because it's a GREAT picture of him!
 

 
On Veterans Day we visited the Alamo, walked the River Walk a bit, and ate some BBQ
 

 
Remember the Alamo!
