Sea World with Grandma

I took the kids (and my mom) to Sea World last week and it was so much fun. Perfect little vacation to break up the long winter break. Ron and Mason were not able to come but my mom got to join us. We had an amazing time and quite a few adventures including losing a cell phone on the Manta rollercoaster. Then retrieving the phone miraculously unscratched behind the fence. Losing a glove and finding it a day later. Petting and playing with a Beluga whale. Riding rides over and over and over again. April was so excited to take Noah and Grandma on all her favorite rides. I’m so grateful for my fun family and thankful my mom got to join us. As I get older I find myself panicking that these moments are slipping away from me. Memories made with my kids and adventures together just won’t be the same when they are all grown up. so I’m grateful for any chance I get to make memories and have some family time (next time hopefully the whole family can join us).

April was so cute. She made the bed every morning and gently placed her pink lama. (She is her father's daughter) I just love her.

We miraculously recovered Callie's cell phone that took flight during a Manta rollercoaster ride. I still can't believe it! Unscratched. Thank goodness for life 360 and for April's little arms reaching the phone. 

I'm so glad my mom got to join us on this adventure. She was so much fun and it's always great to go with someone who loves marine life too! Grandma spoiled us with treats at Sea World, GF treats from a bakery in California and just being super fun on the rollercoasters and exploring. The highlight of the trip was definitely our experience with the Beluga whales. We got to go in where they train the whales and work with them. I got to be photographer and I loved everything I saw. Allua was the name of our whale. She was very sweet.
