SUMMER BEGINS!

The Hyatt Hill Country Inn and Resort is an amazing place to take your family! There is so much to do including a lazy river, swimming, movie nights, arts/crafts, a playground and even their own pet dogs which were rescues that live on the premises to be loved by all... Braylin LOVED it and we all had a blast!

A LAST MINUTE DECISION to take Braylin to Sea World turned out to be
a pretty fun little visit. She loved all the shows and actually sat quietly for
each one. She's just so much fun! She makes us feel like kids all over again.

I recently introduced the movie "Free Willy" so she immediately recognized
the huge whale statue at the entrance! So excited! 

DOLPHINS!!!!!!!! 

NOT PICTURED

The first show we caught was Shamu.

We only caught the last 10 mins and little did we know there are 5 Shamus nowadays! Crazy stuff!

As we sat down and began to watch the end of the show, we immediately realized that we were in the SPLASH ZONE. "Oh, great! Salty fish water!" Before I could really prepare Braylin for what we were in for, THREE whales lined up right in front of us, head down in water, flippers UP, and...

SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH! 

three whales. three splashes. salt water. COLD water. no time to even look up... COMPLETELY DRENCHED! With salty-whale-water; and my poor Bray was crying. She didn't know what in the heck just happened. Poor lil one! But we quickly recovered and finished the show.

"Momma, I wanna soft the whale!"  ("soft" means "pet" in Braylin language)

"FOFUS" (aka Joe), Braylin, Daddy
Ready for the Beluga Whale show to begin

Tracy, Hudson, and baby Colton

These couple of two year olds were captivated by the whole show!
(which surprised me, because I thought it was a little boring)

not be a good combination. The world just isn't ready!
