San Antonio Zoo and Sea World

Before we left Texas we visited the Zoo and Sea World. The zoo was so nice. There were probably about 20 people in the entire place so Mollie got to walk around and not be confined to her stroller. She loved it. We were a little disappointed that her favortie animals were the fish and birds. We can visit these animals for free any day of the week at PetSmart. Oh well, Troy and I enjoyed seeing some animals that we had never seen before. The grizzly bear was quite entertaining as were the hyenas.

Troy and I, being the intelligent people that we are, chose to go to Sea World on Labor Day weekend (living in a hotel fries your brain). Not a good idea. It was so busy that we didn't get to do too many things. I had been telling Mollie about Shamu for several weeks and we watched videos on the computer nearly every day. Our first stop was the "neighs" as Mollie calls them (also known as the Clydesdales). We then moved on to the "Viva" show. On the way we experience our first full on public melt down. Mollie threw herself down on the pavement and screamed her heart out. WOW. I'm still not sure the reason behind the fit but I picked her up and kept moving. Once we got to the show she was fine. It was an awesome show with Baluga whales, dolphins and acrobatic type divers. Mollie spent most of the show with her eyes covered because the music was so loud. After a little penguin ride and lunch it was Shamu time. We attempted to see Shamu earlier in the day but it was completely full so this time we got to the arena really early. Mollie was so excited to see "Amu". She loved the whole show and was out cold as soon as it was over.
