Sea World

Jackson had been begging Jack and I forever to go back to Sea World. He hadn't been since right before James was born and he had been itching to return. He was ready and rearing to go in a matter of minutes and put himself in the car, his seat and asked for all of his sunglasses. He has quite a collection...

The boys loved it, of course, and Jackson was an excellent tour guide to our James. He showed his little brother all of the sites and explained (very carefully) what each of the animals and exhibits were. It was too sweet. 

 James' favorite exhibits were the ones that involved aquariums. James is so obsessed with all things water and it's so fun to see his face light up when he sees something for the first time. He is so happy and smiley all of the time so he's just that much brighter and happier when he gets excited.

 He tried so hard to keep up with the big guys...

 But then decided it may be best to stick with momma. My sweet baby, he's getting so big lately...

 We caught a walrus/sea lion show...

 Rode the merry-go-round, (James' first time!) 

 and called it a day. On our way home the boys napped and were relaxed enough to keep going for a bit once in Austin so we decided to swing by the Four Seasons for an early dinner and so the boys could get the last of their energy out on the lawn.

 It was a pretty perfect day...
