This Week...

Hey Everyone! Just wanted to update our blog on the happenings of this week. We had a great weekend - the three of us had a blast at Sea World. It was bigger than we thought so we are thankful that we bought season passes because it will take several trips to see it all. I know several of you are planning a trip to Sea World so here are a few tips to pass on...
- You can watch Shamu on the computer at http://www.shamu.com/ in preparation for your trip. So fun!
- It's expensive so if you think you'll be going more than once buy a season pass or two-day ticket. The gifts in the shops are not too expensive - of course Abby had to have her own stuffed Shamu and we were happy to see the price tag said $10 instead of $30!
- The sign says you can't bring outside food, but we did and they even checked our bag, saw it and didn't say anything. I'm sure if you tried to enter with bags of food from McDonald's they would say something but I guess they didn't care about a couple PB&J sandwiches...they know you'll be suckered into buying more food anyway.
- They have a waterpark geared toward little children so bring swimsuits.

Other stuff...
We think we've found a church that we'll be attending while we are here in SA - such a praise! Abby loved her class and asked to go back on Monday. We are planning to venture downtown to the Market this weekend which should be fun and then next week Abby and I are flying to Dallas for a few days. We hope you are all doing well!



Abby & Daddy at Sea World
Mommy & Abby petting the Clydesdale...I know it's Sea World but it's an Anheuser-Busch park so there was a barn with Clydesdales.
Clydesdales are huge...and a little scarry for littles!
Abby watching "Telling the Truth" a Seasame Street DVD starring Dennis Quaid as Tele Monster's uncle. The name of Dennis' character is Uncle Tommy and Abby keeps referring to the DVD as "Uncle Tommy" and has asked to watch it many times this past week. Matthew and I joke she has a crush on Dennis Quaid!
Abby watching "Uncle Tommy" very intently.
