Amy loved the Big Bird show at Seaworld

It's been a fun 2 weeks for us. We ended up going to Seaworld last Sunday as the weekend before it was too cold (yes believe it or not it got really cold here in San Antonio in March!). Jerad and I can't believe that we had not been to Seaworld before now, considering it is only 6 miles from our house. It was such a great afternoon. When we first arrived we went to line up and see the Big Bird Beach Party show. We were sitting right down the front and at first i wasn't sure how Amy would react to the crowds and the noise etc, but she loved it. Her little eyes lit up when she saw Big Bird and Elmo and all the characters she knows from the TV show. Being a kids show they had a lot of music and songs and encouraged the kids to get up and dance as well. So she loved standing of the seat and clapping her hands along with everyone else. Cailtyn even seemed to enjoy it. After that we headed over to the Dolphin Cove where she was able to lean against the angled wall and look down into the pool of dolphins (Jerad standing behind her to support her of course!). She was fascinated watching the dolphins as they were being fed. Then it was time to go to the Sea Lion show. This was one packed with people so I stayed with Caitlyn asleep in her stroller up the back while Jerad took Amy down closer. It was a fun one to watch with them doing their tricks and getting the front section of the audience all wet. By this time it was starting to get late so we stopped by to see the Clydesdale horses and then headed home. It is so nice having the season passes because we can just have 2-3 hours at a time at the park without wearing the girls out and essentially we will see something new each time we go there. We barely saw 1/4 of the park during this trip - there are still all the rides to go on, more animals to see and a lot more shows that are on and different ones throughout the year. Definitely a lot more family friendly park than Fiesta Texas - feels like there is a lot more space, plenty of shade and seating and landscaped beautifully.

As you can see from the photo Caitlyn is holding her own bottle now for Daddy during the day - such a big girl!! She is rolling over a lot more too and trying to push up when she is on her tummy. I am sure she will be crawling sooner than Amy did (granted that won't be hard :-) Jerad has got back into playing golf on Sunday mornings now that the weather is starting to get nicer. Although he missed out on his game this morning as he has a delivery to Laredo. He bought one of the 20 game players cards though so he has plenty of weeks ahead of him to play. When we go on vacation in May there is a golf course 1 mile away so he'll be able to play a couple of rounds then too. Yesterday we went out in the afternoon and bought a Wii game system. Jerad set it up last night and it looks like so much fun. Jerad just played the golf and the bowling and has tried the boxing - it looks like her got a real workout with the boxing game. There are a few games that Amy can play too so we'll see how she does tonight on it :-) Mummy bought the Wii Fit game, I can see Amy wanting to do that with me because when I was pregnant with Caitlyn and did my stretches each night Amy loved to "help" me.

Nothing much else happened during the week. I had a follow-up appointment with Dr Washington and everything is well - I am back down to the weight I was pre-Amy, blood pressure fine and checked out OK. I also went during the week to visit a friend I work with, Edda, who has metastatic breast cancer. This is her third time fighting it and she is having a rough time. She looked well though and is in good spirits and was being discharged yesterday. My thoughts are with her and her family.
