Is the Glass Half Full or Half Empty?

That is a hard question for me to answer today. I am trying to look at the bright side of things but after finding out yesterday that the people that were going to buy our house lost their financing, it is slightly hard. So here we go again. The house is back on the market, we no longer have a closing date, but yet we are all set up to move into our new apartment on May 4th. We have decided to just go ahead and suck up the double housing payments so that Eric doesn't have to travel back and forth and I don't have to be a single mom during the week. So that will be nice, but we then have to find someone to take care of the yard and sit from a far and hope that our house sells quickly. So this post isn't too sad and depressing I decided to go ahead and post pictures from our fun trip to Sea World last week.

We got to San Antonio early Thursday afternoon and decided to spend some time on the river walk. It was nice because it wasn't too crowded. We took a boat ride around the river and then decided to eat dinner at the Rainforest Cafe which was a lot of fun for Ethan and Emily.

Friday and Saturday we woke up and headed over to Sea World. We all had so much fun! The shows were great and the kids and Eric loved the rides. The weather was perfect and there were no lines. Eric was able to ride all the big roller coasters several times in a row without even getting off! Here are a lot more pictures with explanations! It was a great family vacation and definitely worth the extra 4 or 5 dollars per ticket to do 2 days!

Here they are feeding the dolphins. The kids were too scared to touch the dolphins but they loved feeding (or throwing) the little fish to the dolphins.

Emily loved all the rides, she wanted to ride all of them! I love this picture because she is has her head thrown back and she was laughing so hard! It was the cutest thing ever.

Another ride that Emily wanted to go on again and again. She was a dare devil and would throw her hands in the air and not even hold on.

This is Ethan and Emily with their whales that Dad won for them. They cost $35 each in the gift shop, but after only $15 on the boardwalk games Dad had won one for each of them! What a deal!

Here we all are at the entrance. Not the greatest picture, but we were all in it.

This was by far the favorite ride! You can see that Ethan is a little scared, but he still loved it. He was ready to do it again! I was surprised (and slightly nervous) that he was brave enough to sit up there all by himself without daddy holding on.

So you can see from the pictures that it was a fun trip. We will definitely go back again in the future!

Easter Celebration!

It is definitely time for a new post! Needless to say things have been crazy with the house being on the market and all, but I have some cute pics of Easter that I thought would be fun to share!

Here is Emily checking out her Easter basket. I wasn't too thrilled to have the curlers in all the pictures but we had to put them in early to be ready for church.

Here is Emily with her new Cinderella doll from the Easter Bunny!

Ethan checking out his Spiderman eggs from the Easter Bunny! He liked those more than anything else he got.

The curlers finally came out! They looked so cute all dressed up and ready for church!

This is the best shot I could get of Emily's dress. She looked so adorable!
