Together Time

Sorry for the delay! My blog was acting crazy and I could not figure out how to make it work...


So our agenda of relaxing on the beach everyday changed drastically...
The drive was not bad at all.... Being that Sawyer looked content the entire time...


























We had to stop twice for Cohen to use the bathroom, which didn't faze us! After this trip I am happy to say Cohen is officially POTTY TRAINED! woo hoo! Life just got a little bit easier! This is his proud / I'm cool walk for being a big boy!


Cohen did NOT sleep until we saw this sign...









Which means he was awake the whole trip!! And was actually really really good!








We arrived in San Antonio around 3pm Wednesday afternoon. Checked into our room. Oh our room.... It was pretty small. (I booked it quickly because the first few places we called were completely booked!). Yet our room was just the right ingredient for what we wanted all along!... TIME TOGETHER...
We quickly got our things situated and headed to the River Walk. We had trouble finding a place to eat and came across a Chili's around the River Mall and decided to hurry and grab a bite. We were like a few lost hoodlums when we walked out of Chili's... Cody and I started laughing when we routed our walk back and realized we had about a 20 minute walk to our room. Now... we only brought Sawyer a stroller, so Cohen is exhausted at this point, but he was such a trooper! We rotated holding him and he walked part of the way.

Thursday was SEAWORLD! 
Note: We were not the only people there. We were just the few who paid a VERY WORTHY extra $5  for closer parking!


When we first got there we had to take in the experience... We took a family picture for a keepsake!


We did many things during our day... We watched a 4D movie which scared the kids half to death. It was a Sesame Street movie but Cody and I even jumped a few times. Water really splashed on you, the seats move, air comes out from your seat (as a wind).... Cohen did not stay in his chair alone for long!!!! 


We watched the dolphin "AZUL" show! Which they both thoroughly enjoyed!




                   


Then we headed over to the "Bay of Play". It was hot and Cohen wanted to play in the water. So we put on his bathing suit and headed on over...




They were having a Sesame Street show near by so Sawyer and I went sit and watch the end of that.  Then Cody took a picture of us with Abby (I think that is who this is! LOL!)
As you can see Sawyer is not, in the least bit, fazed by her...


The boys watched us from afar... Cohen was not interested in taking a picture with any of them.


Cohen and I enjoyed the little rides...


Getting a little A/C while waiting on the SHAMU show!


Cohen wanted to hold Sawyer while we were patiently waiting on Shamu to start!


And then Shamu and his friends arrived!


The kids enjoyed their day more than I expected. Sawyer is so little I figured she would "whatever" with it, but I was wrong! She was so excited the whole time. 
Cohen was amazed and couldn't wait to get started on our adventure for the day! 

We ended our trip in Houston... 
We stayed at my Nanny Kate and Uncle Doug's house and went to see the Astro's play.


This trip was just what we needed... Time for us to come together as a family! We wanted time together... Time just the four of us! And we got just that.  We are so lucky to have all that we do! I can't imagine living this life any other way!
