We finally made it to Sea World! All I wanted to do when I was in the hospital was take a trip to Sea World when I got home. I just love Sea World. You can’t help but feel so happy when you are around all the animals. Flights were full so we drove the 4 1/2 hours to San Antonio. Our friends Brenda and Matt live there so they were so nice to let us stay at their house. They have a little dog named Charlie. The boys loved playing with him. We drove Friday afternoon there and spent the night. Then we went to Sea World on Saturday and drove home that night. The boys were amazing. This was their first road trip. They are so spoiled! We rented s few movies and took the DVD player. They loved the ride. Michael at first kept asking when we were going to be there, but after awhile he stopped. Thank goodness. At Sea World, Randy surprised me with VIP backstage passes. It is a hour long tour of the backstage area. We saw Dolphins being fed and rubbed down. We saw Sting Rays in a tank where we were able to touch and then feed. Ricky wouldn’t feed them but Randy, Michael, and I all did. You put a chunk of fish between your fingers and then lay them flat on the bottom of the ledge, then they swam over your hand and ate it! It felt so neat. In the video you see me scared, but that was the second time I fed them and the sting ray surprised me. Well I tried to upload the video of the Sting Rays but for some reason it isn’t showing the picture. I will try someting else. I just loved this experience. Last time I was at Sea World I wouldn’t touch even a Dolphin! We then walked over to a shark tank and touched a shark that was being held in a little cage so we can safely touch it. It’s skin was rougher then I thought it would be. Again, Ricky wouldn’t touch it. I didn’t mind. I was in his shoes before. I didn’t want to force him to do it. But he still said he had a blast seeing them. Oh, I forgot to say that Brenda and Matt gave us their popcorn bucket and drink cups so we only had to pay for the refills. My other friend Amber, in Corinth, also gave us some of their drink cups. They are too nice to us. That really saved us money. We saw the Shamu show. We all loved it! I just love to see how big they are, but still so gentle. Cameron was so excited to see them jump out of the water. It was cute. The boys went on a log ride while Cameron and I watched. I wasn’t too sure if I could go on rides yet. You never know. It was funny, Ricky ducked when they went down the hill so you couldn’t see him in the picture that they take. It was funny. Ricky, Michael, and I all got a necklace of some sort at the end for our souvenirs. I thought they would pick out something else but I guess that since I was looking at them, they thought they were neat so they picked one out. We didn’t mind. They probaly were cheaper than anything else they may have picked out. I am so glad Randy did all of this for me. He is one heck of a man, husband, father. I am so lucky to have him in my life.
Just an update on me. I am doing great. I am still getting stronger everyday. I am organizing my scrapbook stuff to get ready for the scrapbook retreat I am going on with nine other women. We go to this house and just scrapbook day and night. We only stop to eat. I can’t wait. I am so behind in my scrapbooks. I did a little in Utah also. Thank goodness, or I would be even more behind. Scrapbooking is such a great thing for me to do. It is my journaling for me. Randy supports me too. It can be a little expensive. I try to keep it simple. My hair is coming in more and more everyday! It also looks curley in the back. I think I will have curley hair!!! Yeah!!! Needless to say, things here are going very well. I’m not complaining. I am home with my family. It can’t get better than that. I have to say, I don’t take anything for granted. I just take one day at a time and make sure my family and I are doing what we want to and staying happy. Thank you all for being there for me through this. I will keep posting every so often. This is fun.
Here is the video of feeding the Dolphins and them here are some pictures you all can check out:
