Our first stop was College Station to see my friend, Lisa, and her son, Kaden (who was born just 3 days before Lawson). The boys played so well together - it's too bad we don't live closer.
After that, it was on to Houston where we spent a few days. Tracy took most of the pictures and hasn't had time to send them yet, so I'll post those later.
We also stopped to see my friend, Heather, and her 3 kids. We met at a playground made up of bounce houses - a kid's paradise! Lawson, however, freaked out about the level of noise in the place. He still liked some of the stuff, and he had to improvise a bit to find a way to climb around while his hands stayed firmly over his ears...
He finally got over the noise...right before it was time to leave. Sigh....
Lawson was doing fairly well on the road, so in a moment of pure spontenaity, we headed to San Antonio to see my friend, Mendy, and go to Sea World. I was SOOO glad we went. Lawson had a blast! The dolphins were his favorite part. Getting to feed them was the highlight of the day!
He also LOVED Shamu...the animal. He loved all the pictures and statues of him and we even took home a stuffed version that he drags everywhere now. But he really didn't enjoy the Shamu show. It was as loud as a rock concert and it really bothered his ears. He panicked a little and so we had to leave before the show was over.
The noise scared him, but not the alligator feeding...who knew? I was glad we caught this - the presenter said they only feed them twice a week. They were some hungry creatures!
We finished up the day with the sea lions. They were so cute and we got to feed them, too!
I think I had as much fun at Sea World as Lawson did! I'm so glad Lawson was such a good traveller - we'll have to do this again!
