Sea World

The final outing w/ Papa was a trip to Sea World in San Antonio. Natalie only needs to grow about another foot before she'll be able to ride the big rides.
Sit Shamu! Sit! Good Whale!

Natalie asked if she could have a hair wrap. Sure why not! Then I remember, oh wait this is the weekend before Easter. These things last at least two weeks. Oops.. Oh well I guess. She loves it. It will probably be a crisis when it does finally fall out. I just hope it unravels opposed to leaving a small stump of hair.
We finally made it to feed the dolphins! We had a year pass to the park last year but every time we came we always missed feeding time. So we were really excited to feed the dophins. This next pic is not of us but it gives you an idea how close it is.

This is the dolphin that Natalie fed.
This is the best pic I could get of Natalie feeding the flippers.
Here's what it looks like from the back. Lily had a good time feeding them too. She didn't quite get it at first and just threw the fish in the water w/ no dolphin in site. But she did end of feeding a dolphin and that it was pretty great.
In the beginning of the ski show they invited all of the kids down to the beach area to dance and play for five minutes. Natalie was very hesitant but Lily was off and running to join.

As we left the park we noticed little mud spots all over that weren't there before. Pretty soon our stroller was speckled, the back of my hands, jackets, etc. Then we made it to the parking lot and all of the cars looked like they'd been out off-roading while we were in the park. Of course, this was the time I'm out of windshield fluid. It was raining mud! The temp went from 75 when we left the house in the morning to now 42 in the late afternoon and raining mud. Weirdest thing ever! So a quick stop to the store for some fluid and we drove out of the mud rain. Once we arrived home and put the girls to bed I googled it and found out that it was indeed mud rain and that a dust storm from Mexico had mixed w/ a rain storm from the NW to give us mud rain. So odd.
