Ostler Family Adventure 2009 Edition:Sea World!

Last Tuesday we surprised Sierra by waking her up and driving her and Logan to SEA WORLD instead of school! They are running an awesome deal, where you buy a one day pass and you get to go the rest of the year for FREEEEE!!! We are looking forward to a great summer. So, any of you Walsh Ranch Hommies who also have passes- give us a call, maybe we can coordinate!!
Sea Lion Show! The kids loved it!
We got a little wet, and Sierra loved that there was a sign above one of the "offices" that said, "Sierra" on it!

The "Viva" show or, the dolphin, beluga show! My favorite! They used the dolphins and the beluga whales beautifully, but then they also used acrobatics, diving, and swimmers. Joyful!

This was an interesting trip for us, as this was the first time Sierra was tall enough to really ride any real roller-coasters. So, Paul and I took turns taking her on the Steel Eel and Atlantis. Logan spent his time hangin' out at the Loews Race Car. He was in car heaven- this was the greatest "ride" he went on all day! :)

This is what I want to do with Shamu! Swim and turn, swim and turn. Sierra and Paul sat closer to the tank then Logan and I in hopes of getting soaked. Unfortunately, we sat in the wrong, "splash zone", but we know where to sit next time!
Logan adored this kiddie ride at Sea World. He also loved going on Texas Splashdown, a water log ride that sends you down a 3 story drop. Little daredevil!
We had a great time. Some things were closed and some things we just didn't get time to see- but having the option of going back was so great! We just relaxed and enjoyed the day! Living this close to San Antonio has really allowed us to do some great things! We are very lucky to have lived in such fun places! We are looking forward to more Ostler Family Adventures!!

So fun to see you at the reception tonight! Looks like your family had a fun time in San Antonio at Sea World. Sierra and Logan are at great ages to really enjoy visiting fun places like that. We loved living in the Austin area. You have a beautiful family.

Way to go you guys! SeaWorld is so fun! We went in January and actually have a year pass too for the same reason. Now, the chances of us making it back to SanDiego.....
But, you can really live it up down there! Good job having some quality family time!
