Sea World with Gee-gee and Na-nu

Last week Sarah, Gee-gee and Na-nu (cousin Noah) were in San Antonio for Sarah's college orientation at UTSA.   Since Sarah was busy all day, Grammy brought Noah so that she would have someone to play with at Fiesta Texas and Sea World.  She said it was all about celebrating his birthday (which isn't until next month), I know better than that... she really just wanted an excuse to go to some theme parks and a partner to ride the rides with!  :)

Adeline stopped throwing up just in time for us to tag along with them to Sea World.  She had a great time!  She loves her Gee-gee, her cousin Na-nu, wah-ber, and fish.  She was in heaven.  I can't count how many times we heard the words "wah-ber" and "more" come out of her mouth.  She pointed out ALL the water to us.  And at the shows, she wanted "more" of everything.  More dolphins jumping.  More people diving.  More skiers.  More jet skis.  More Shamu splashing.  I was surprised at how attentive she was.  

I knew she would hold out as long as she could on taking a nap, but figured she'd crash in the stroller at some point.  That point did not come until 5pm!  And that is only after I made her lay down in the stroller and walked around in a circle, in the shade, away from most of the crowd for 40 minutes!  She just can't let herself fall asleep if there is anything going on around her.

Noah was (as always) so sweet with her.  Very entertaining, that Na-nu.  He had her cracking up (and vice versa) late into the evening back at the hotel room.  He's such a fun kid.  We loved getting to spend so much time with him!

Thanks for letting us join in the fun!  And a big thanks to Gee-gee for such a special treat.  Adeline loves wearing her penguin backpack souvenir around the house!
