SeaWorld Trip

DAY 1

  My parents treated all our families to a overnight trip to seawaorld for mothers and fathers day. It was blast!  OUR first stop was the temple. It was in all honesty a amazing experience just being there with family and for the first time feeling hope and possibility that one day I really could stand inside the celestial room with both my siblings.
 Robbie and his Kiddos
 All the kids together
 My Family



Then we were off to the hotel to get our swim on. We were like fishes.

Day 2 

Off to Sea world we went



Mam-Maw and PaPa

  Ready set go......
f  
First stop the
STRING RAY BAY

  Abigail loved it we had to hold her tight to keep her from falling in. She was the Manta ray whisper. They all came over to her. It was cool to watch as she did something I NEVER would have thought she would do. HARRIS on the other hand would not even stick his hand in the water. I was stunned!


 THEN CAME THE DOLPHINS.......
 ......AND THE DOLPHIN SHOW
 .....THE BOYS FAVORITE "THE SHARKS"
 
......A BREAK
 ......SHAMU

.......THE RAIN

 ....MY FAVORITE THE POLAR BEAR EXHIBIT
 ..... TIME TO GO AND 1 SLEEPY 2 YEAR OLD


     THE BEST PARTS :

*Watching Abi with the sting rays
* watching the kids and my parents.... I am know sure who had more fun the kids or them.
* Robbie's Pep- talk when I was having a melt down. ( I had to go in the wheelchair and I could not sit with my kids during the show ......frustrating). Robbie came and sat with me and said " sadness is a useless emotion". I could not believe that was MY brother.
* Aaron and his  wheelchair skills.... running down hill in the rain and maneuvering threw crazy people.
* being at the temple with my WHOLE FAMILY. 
* the car ride home... dad speeding, Aaron taking his sweet time while holding my hand, and over 2 hours of just chatting with my hubby.


THANKS MOM AND DAD FOR A TRIP THE JAMMES WILL NEVER FORGET!!!!!!

I'm with Harris! My hand didn't go in either. I mean, seriously, wasn't it enough that I at least walked into Sea World under my own power and not drug, kicking and screaming? What more do you people want from me??????
